About mid-way downriver, you'll pull-in to the shore for a short land portage around the impressive Rearguard Falls.

Fraser River w/guide Shane

5.00Rafting on the Fraser River was incredible! The River was high and had a good mix of choppy rapids and smooth sections to just float and enjoy the view. Our guide Shane was awesome, knowledgeable about the river, and kept us paddling in the right directions! The whole process is clear and organized, from the meeting spot to getting dressed and undressed in the gear, and following instructions on the river. It was chilly and I was worried as someone who is perpetually cold, I would freeze on the river. I didn't - they provided wetsuits, wet jacket and a third layer over top it all, along with gloves and booties. I was warm the whole time, and jumped in the river for a swim towards the end of the rafting, at the encouragement of the guide. Everyone got a turn sitting at the front of the raft which is the best spot for getting absolutely dunked on by the rapids! We were a boat full of 6 adult guests laughing our heads off at how fun it was in the rapids! Definitely book it and ask for Shane to be your guide.
Fantastic Fraser River Rafting

5.00My husband and I really enjoyed rafting on the Mighty Fraser River with Maligne Adventures. All of the staff were excellent, especially our raft guide Dani. The rapids were exciting, we all had great fun splashing down the river. We saw 2 golden eagles overhead and huge salmon swimming up the river. I especially enjoyed jumping into the water and floating down a section of the river. Would definitely recommend.
Super adventure

5.00Guides were fun and experienced. The ride was a blast, and our guide made sure we got as wet as possible, and hit the rapids at speed to get some height and splash. Plus we got to see eagles on the rocks!
