River Rafting

Chilliwack is home to some of British Columbia's best river rafting.
This wild, wet sport attracts everyone from young families to seasoned whitewater adventurers. The natural setting within the Cascade Mountains is particularly spectacular.
Where to Go Rafting
Several licensed local companies offer river rafting trips in the Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region, and two river rafting companies have trips on the Chilliwack River: Chilliwack River Rafting Adventures (year-round) and Hyak River Rafting (May through July).
The Chilliwack River is located on the south side of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). Inflatable paddle rafts are the vessels of choice. Most rafting tours are day trips that range from moderately challenging tours that can cover 14km/8.7mi and take up to five hours, to tours that offer continuous whitewater intensity with Class III and Class IV (advanced) rapids.

The churning Tamihi Rapids on the Chilliwack River are popular among both advanced river rafters and kayakers, and are used for training by the Canadian national kayak team.
What to Expect
Advance bookings for river rafting are required. Tour operators offer paddles, helmets, life jackets, wetsuits, snacks and meals, and certified river rafting guides. Since river rafting presents certain risks, safety is a priority, which means pre-trip safety briefings and waiver forms. Guests are encouraged to bring swimsuits, sunscreen, sunglasses, towels, non-cotton sweaters or fleeces, plus dry clothes for afterwards.
While river rafting is a year-round sport, the high season runs from May to mid-September, and many visitors enjoy cooling off during the summer months.
