Wedge Rafting

Our family of 4 did the Elaho rafting trip. What a blast, so memorable. Freya was our guide who made our adventure thrilling and safe. Long bus ride to /​from the river was the down side but necessary for the trip. I got a bit motion sick on the bus ride up (typical for me and buses if I’m seated in the back) and the guides were very accommodating and sweet to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. The bus driver even took us back to our hotel. Quality and well maintained equipment and seasoned guides. Great BBQ lunch with selection of beef, salmon or vegetarian and even gluten free options.
We also zip lined and ride horses and the rafting was everyone’s favorite.
Highly recommend if you have some time on Whistler.

We had a lot of fun on this trip.
The meet up place is right across from the gondola and once our entire group checked in (probably 50 – 60 people) we were ushered downstairs to get geared up. Everything from here on was well explained and fairly streamlined, staff were super helpful and as soon as we were in our wetsuits we trekked to the road to board our buses.
The guides were hilarious and really seemed to have a good time chatting us up on the bus and having us get to know each other.
We did the Green River run which was only 10 – 15 mins or so from the village. We got off the bus at Green Lake and were grouped up and put on rafts. Our guide was fantastic, safety was obviously a priority but he was a ton of fun as well.
The river itself was great. So much fun! Some people have said that they wished it was longer, or more intense, but as a first timer I had a blast.
Our guide was good at getting us ramped up for rapids and seemed to have fun getting us splashed or going over rocks to jar us.
We’ll be back to do the more intense run next time. As fun as this one was, I want more!

I HIGHLY recommend doing this over summer at Whistler. One of my absolutely favorite thing I did. The staff is amazingly friend and my guide went above and beyond. I was with my brother, 2 cousins, aunt and mom. My aunt and mom doesn’t speak much English so we had to translate what he was telling us to them. He was extremely patient with it and did not rush us at all which was really nice. We did the green river course and it is a really good course, especially for beginners. My mom and aunt had fun and it wasn’t as scary as they were expecting it to be. My guide did go over rocks and purposely crashing into rocks which made the trip more fun. We were in front and when I looked at the other 2 raft behind us they went around the rocks and what not.
I suggest going rafting early in the morning, I went at 9 am. You definitely want to leave time after rafting to go shower and get dressed. You’ll be wet and stinky from the wetsuits. I wish I had more time in Whistler to do the harder courses, seems like fun. You also get a discount for doing another trip with them either the same day or again in the future.

This was SOOO much fun!!! 1^st off the staff were amazing everyone was happy, friendly and good with all types of people. My guide was especially fun, and made sure that every single one of us fell (okay, we pushed each other) into the water before we went to the rapidy river. (Personally think this was a nifty trick, toss your shipmates into the still lake so that if they ever do fall into the river there’d be less panic)
We did the Green River course, although the website says 3 hours, it really is a less than an hour trip on the river, and about 10 – 20 min on the lake for training. (They do spell this out on the webpage).
Its a class 3 river, and for me as a first time rafter, I found it to be incredibly fun, though my friend who had been rafting once before, found it a little dull and short. And although it is only a 3 hour tour, it ends up being more like a day long experience since you end up soaking wet and stinky from the wetsuits they lend. hence a shower is recommended before you can head back out to town. I advice booking a morning trip or end of the day trip.
This is a wonderful summer activity, and I highly recommend it for people who are looking for something water venturous to do up in Whistler. They also have longer harder courses for the more experienced. :)

We booked a 1:00 Green River tour on Saturday. From start to finish the guys running the place were a riot. They provide everything you will need and the process was very stream-​lined. The rapids for the Green River rafting were class 3, so if you’ve been before you might want to do the class 4 rapids. Though it was a lot of fun, I wished it had been a little more dangerous. :)

Great experience rafting with this company. The guides, while sounding rather scripted, were extremely lighthearted, safety-​oriented people. Very charismatic, and in my case, extremely handsome.
Ladies (and gents, if you are so inclined!), should you ever go rafting at this place, see if you can request JS. That man is gorgeous. The French-​Canadian accent doesn’t hurt, either.
The operation is very efficient, and the photographers do an amazing job of making you look happy and pro at rafting (even if it’s your first time). My only qualm would be that it wasn’t long enough! The Green River tour is what we did, and it’s supposed to be a 2 hour tour. At least 45 minutes of it is on a quiet lake, learning the ropes.
Once you get out onto the rushing river, the adrenaline rush is pretty amazing. Perfect for beginners, but still challenging and exciting.
