Big shout out to the Apex Rafting crew for a fantastic trip down the Illecillewaet River today. Cade & Graham were wonderful guides & Alexi in the office helped us with the booking and took the most amazing photos! We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend Apex for your staff, friends or family!
I went with my colleagues and we had so much fun, plenty of laughs. All the staff were super friendly. Our guide, Cade, has a lot of knowledge about Revelstoke and some of its history. I believe itโ€™s a must-do in Revelstoke. I would like to add that Cade made sure we felt safe and answered all our questions.
Had a blast floating down those rapids the other day. The guides did a fantastic job of making the experience fun and safe. Would 1000% do that again. And a special thanks to our guide Dillon for being so amazing!
