Had a blast! It was just our group of four plus our guide in the 6-person. Spicy good fun rocking the rapids. Fantastic guide. Had the option to jump from a cliff (about 20-25' high) into the river at one point, so of course we did lol. Highly recommended :)

I had the most amazing experience with Wilderness Tours on September 7, 2025! I had always wanted to try whitewater rafting, and finally got the chance to go with my friends — it was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky to have Lenny as our instructor, and he was fantastic. He taught us everything we needed to know in a fun, clear, and professional way — from what to do if you end up in the water, to how to swim safely, rescue each other, and even how to jump off the rocks! Every moment was exciting and full of energy. The whole day was so much fun and gave me memories I’ll never forget. I’m sure all the instructors are great, but Lenny was definitely the coolest! My friends and I are already planning to come back and do it again next year for sure. Highly recommend Wilderness Tours to anyone who wants adventure, laughter, and an incredible outdoor experience!

We visited Wilderness Tours at the end of July and had an amazing experience! This was my kids’ second time visiting and my fourth, and every trip just keeps getting better. The new inflatables on the water were incredible — my whole family had an absolute blast with them. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere throughout the resort was wonderful. A special shoutout to our rafting guide, Andrew, who was so friendly and full of great stories. He made the family rafting trip extra fun and memorable. Overall, it was a fantastic trip, and we can’t wait to come back again!

We stayed at Wilderness Tours August 2025. I specifically booked accommodations with air conditioning and paid a lot for the accommodations. When we arrived our room was sweltering hot. I thought perhaps they forgot to turn the air on. We turned on the unit but it was blowing hot air. I went to the store to let the know of the problem and they said that they would send someone to look at it. The people who came said that they have had many complaints this summer about the air conditioners not working in the cabins. They said that they brought the complaints forward to the owner and nothing was done about it. They said the air conditioners are to small to cool the cabins. Ours was actually broken as the hose came out from the back of the unit when they checked it. I asked guests in other cabins if they were having issues with their air and yes they were experiencing the same issues. I even heard someone on the beach complaining about the lack of air in their cabin and let them know this was happening in our cabin as well. It was actually warmer in our cabin then it was outside which is saying a lot as we have had an extremely hot summer. When I checked out I voiced my concerns to the person at the desk. She told me to write out the complaint and she would give it to the owner. I wrote out my complaint and explained that I had paid a lot for this cabin specifically for the air conditioning and that it wasn't working. I explained that I was willing to pay the rate for a non- air conditioned unit with a washroom but that I didn't feel that it was fair that I had to pay $249 dollars a night for a unit with 'air conditioning' when I wasn't getting what I paid for. I still haven't heard from the owner about my complaint and it's been almost a month. I normally do not like to give bad reviews but I don't want other people to have this same experience. The food was okay and the rafting tour and lazy river were great. I would recommend staying off resort and coming for a day. Save yourself a lot of money and get an air conditioned hotel off site.

We (2 adults & 2 children) shared a luxury cabin. It was great - really nice having our own bathroom. We visited during a heatwave - the little air conditioner was much appreciated, even tho it was still hot under that metal roof 😊. The food was good enough and plenty of it - lots of fresh veggies & fruit, which I appreciated. Mostly tho, our rafting guide Rob was exceptional. He was very skilled and very sweet, and he kept us safe while making sure the trip was still a thrill. He was also knowledgeable about the natural world, if you are the kind of person who wants to know - which I am. Just a lovely guy. The overall trip leader young woman was also great. The location is spectacular. Lastly, the kids (11 years) adored the inflatable park in the water by the beach - kept them busy for hours! I would highly recommend - we visited mid-week.
