Unforgettable Rafting Experience with Apex Rafting — Absolutely Recommend!

We had an amazing day rafting with Apex Rafting in Revelstoke! Everything was so well-organized and professional, it couldn’t have gone better.

Special thanks to our incredible guide Cade — he made the whole adventure fun, exciting, and safe. His energy, knowledge, and great sense of humor really brought the group together and made the rapids even more thrilling. You could tell we were in expert hands.

Also, huge appreciation to Alex and Debbie, who did an outstanding job organizing everything for our group. From the moment we arrived, they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Their friendly, positive attitude made us feel welcome and excited right from the start.

The river is stunning, the rapids are the perfect mix of adrenaline and fun, and the entire Apex team is top-notch. If you’re in Revelstoke and want an unforgettable adventure, don’t miss this!

Highly recommend Apex Rafting — and if you can, request Cade as your guide!
A fun and fantastic experience. I was a first timer a little reluctant to go at first but I’m so glad I made the commitment. This company have everything covered for all levels of experience. I certainly felt like I was in safe hands. Nick our guide was the best you could have. Two and a half hours of fun on the water with plenty of comedy and information from Nick making the experience so engaging. The whole trip was amazing.
