Why You Should Take Your Family Rafting in Squamish

Looking for a fun way to reconnect as a family—without screens? At Canadian Outback Rafting, we bring adventure, laughter, and a little teamwork (yes, even from the teens) to every trip. Whether it’s tackling rapids, taking in the incredible views of the Squamish Valley, or just spending real, quality time together on a family adventure.

It’s More Than Just Fun (But It’s Definitely Fun)

Rafting isn’t just a thrill ride—it’s a masterclass in life skills (but don’t tell the kids that). As your crew paddles through the rapids, teamwork, resilience, and staying cool under pressure all come into play—sometimes for the parents, too! And with the stunning Squamish wilderness all around, it’s the perfect way to unplug, reconnect, and maybe even sneak in a little learning along the way.

Ditch the Screens, Embrace the Streams

Let’s be honest—we all spend way too much time glued to screens. A rafting trip is the perfect excuse to unplug and dive into some real-life adventure. There’s no Wi-Fi out here, but trust us, the views of the Squamish Valley beat any scroll. It’s about being present, sharing laughs, and letting the river take you on a ride you’ll actually remember.

We Take Safety Seriously (So You Don’t Have To Worry)

We get it—sending your little (or not-so-little) ones down a river can sound intimidating. But don’t sweat it; our guides are absolute pros. They’ll walk you through everything you need to know and make sure you feel confident before you even touch a paddle. We’ve got the gear, the know-how, and the chill vibes to keep everyone safe while you focus on having fun.

Memories That Stick

If you ask our past guests, they’ll tell you their rafting trip was the highlight of their summer. Between the breathtaking views, the shared laughs, and the occasional splash wars, rafting gives your family a story to tell for years. We’ve got a photographer capturing all the action as you make your way down the river, so you can focus on enjoying the ride!

Canadian Outback Rafting is located in beautiful Squamish Valley, just a short drive from Vancouver and Whistler, and we offer adventures for all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re floating down the Cheakamus River or tackling the thrilling Elaho Rapids, we’ve got a trip that’s perfect for your family! Get ready to swap “What should we do this summer?” for “Remember when we conquered those rapids?” Our rafting season starts in spring, so now’s the perfect time to plan your family adventure.
