Enjoyed an amazing whitewater rafting trip today and everything from start to finish was super fun and professionally executed. I have done some rafting trips around Canada before which break up the rafting portion with pointless stops to make it seem longer but with Apex it’s all about the rafting. Over 25kms of level 3+ rapids with our guide Nick who was extremely entertaining and very informative about the river and surrounding areas which made the experience even more enjoyable. After all the fun and excitement we even got some delicious baked snacks to enjoy on the bus trip back into town. Highly recommend Apex rafting if you’re thinking of a doing a rafting trip in Canada and if you’re lucky, Nick will be your guide! (The other boat’s guide Cade and Steve the bus driver/photographer were also super entertaining and professional).
We came in for river rafting today and had one of the most thrilling experiences of our lives. We had Nick as rafting guide and he was amazing to say the least. He is highly knowledgeable and very skilled. We would love to come back with more of our friends soon. Highly recommended:)
Had an awesome afternoon with Nick and Greg on the Illecillewaet River. The wet suits and jackets kept us warm in the cold water and the hot tea and snacks afterwards were just what we needed. A big thanks to bus driver Steve for the pics. Highly recommended. Will definitely do it again next time we're in Revelstoke!
