Why take this tour?

"While camping near Revelstoke, my kids found a brochure for white water rafting. I contacted the rafting company and was immediately impressed. Equipment, certifications, safety record – they’re even Safe Travel certified for Covid! The kids had a blast! Some of the rapids were pretty big but after we paddled through the first one I was hooked. It was super exciting! Then we floated through a really calm part of the river and everyone got so still we could hear every little sound; it was like being suspended in time. I was a bit worried the kids might get bored when the river was calm, but the guides pulled out these mammoth water guns. And the fight was on! Everyone was spraying everyone – even in the other boats! My teenage daughter got into it and just drenched me! I can’t remember the last time my kids and I laughed so hard together. I’ll treasure that. It felt like the river brought us closer together that day."
