A Universal Company

By definition, universal means โ€œaffecting or done by all people or things in the world or in a particular group.โ€ย Itโ€™s one thing to claim that a company is โ€œuniversalโ€. Itโ€™s a completely different thing when it is actually true. Itโ€™s… Read more

What to expect on your first Elaho rafting trip๐Ÿ‘‡ What to expect on your first Elaho rafting trip๐Ÿ‘‡

Youโ€™ll meet your guide, get geared up (wetsuit, booties, helmet, the whole setup), and run through a quick but confidence-boosting safety briefingโ€”no experience needed.

Then itโ€™s go time.

Youโ€™ll hit the water on the Elaho and Squamish Rivers, paddling through Class 3โ€“4 rapids with your crew. Expect big splashes, adrenaline, and a few legendary sections like Devilโ€™s Elbow, Mike Tyson, and Steamroller. If youโ€™re feeling brave, you might even hop in and float through a smaller rapid.

In between the action, take it all inโ€”glaciers, waterfalls, old-growth forests, and maybe even wildlife along the riverbanks. Itโ€™s the kind of scenery that makes you forget your phone exists.

Back at base, the vibe shifts. Warm up, change into dry clothes, watch back your GoPro moments, and hang out fireside or on the volleyball court with your new rafting crew.

No experience required, just a sense of adventure.

Would you try it? ๐ŸŒŠ

What to expect on your first rafting trip ๐Ÿ‘‡ Your What to expect on your first rafting trip ๐Ÿ‘‡

Your day kicks off by meeting your guide, getting geared up, and going over the plan before hopping on the shuttle to the river. Once you arrive, youโ€™ll run through a quick, easy safety briefingโ€”then itโ€™s time to hit the water.

Youโ€™ll float through fun rapids, paddle as a team, and mix in a little bit of everythingโ€”spontaneous water fights, chances to jump in for a swim, and slower moments to take it all in. Think towering forests, mountain views, and maybe even some wildlife along the way.

Back at base, dry off, relive the highlights, and hang out with your crewโ€”swap stories, check out photos, or just soak in those mountain views a little longer.

No pressure, no experience neededโ€”just show up ready to have fun.
