About Canadian Outback Rafting
Canadian Outback Rafting is a long-running whitewater outfitter operating on the rivers of the Squamish Valley and the wider Sea to Sky region. Based in Brackendale just north of downtown Squamish, the company offers some of the most accessible quality rafting near Vancouver and Whistler, making it a popular choice for day-trippers, families and corporate groups looking for an outdoor adrenaline hit without a long drive.
Their trips range from lively whitewater on the Elaho and Squamish rivers to gentle scenic floats suitable for all ages, with experienced guides handling the technical work and the safety briefing so guests can focus on the ride. In winter the operation shifts gears to its renowned eagle float tours, drifting calmly down the river through the Brackendale eagle reserve — one of the largest seasonal gatherings of bald eagles in North America. Wetsuits, splash gear and all equipment are provided, and trips are matched to the season and water levels.
What makes Canadian Outback Rafting stand out is its versatility across the calendar and the polish of a well-established operation. Summer guests get genuine Coast Mountain whitewater framed by glacier-fed scenery, while winter visitors enjoy a tranquil wildlife experience few destinations can match. Combined with friendly, professional guiding, it offers a rafting experience that works for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
