- josephinedC6831CF00An absolute must for Whistler!!Dan G was the chillest most friendly tour guide. There were 3 of us total I'm the jeep and it was a smooth journey. Within 10 mins we saw some black deer!! Dan was very knowledgeable and was more than happy to answer all of my questions (there were many!). The tour didn't feel rushed at all (unlike other tours I went on in Whistler) and Dan was happy to go at our pace. He even took some fab photos of us! I would definitely recommend Canadian Wilderness Adventures - even the phone line staff were extremely helpful with my booking and arrival prior to arrival. The Jeep tour is an absolute must in Whistler. Thanks so much!! I will be returning 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- R7167JIandreww00Will Definitely Do Again!The views were amazing! Anna was a great guide and made us feel so comfortable driving an ATV for the first time. Will definitely do this again!
- Sharonbee300Awesome TourHad a wonderful buggy tour, great guide Dan led our small group on a fun adventure. Prepare to get really dirty and to never stop smiling. Great tour…highly recommended! Thanks Dan,…not the man for a great afternoon. It is an unfortunate nickname your colleagues gave you 😀
- kezzapezza00Amazing jeep safari!What a great experience! Our guide, Sascha, was so knowledgable on our jeep safari and we learned lots about the entire area. We were lucky enough to have snow falling when we were going up to Blackcomb, so although we didn’t get a wide clear view, Sacha knew where to stop for the best views we could get. Saw a glacier and the odd eagle, and learned lots about the landscape. We had such a short visit to Whistler, we wanted to see as much as possible in this in-between season. This trip Ticked all our boxes!
- 703niamhc00AWESOME!!!So much fun and GREAT views! Our tour guide Daniel, was friendly and funny and told us lots of facts and things happening around the area along the tour. I would recommend doing intermediate level rather than beginner. Overall a great experience and a super fun activity to do with a group. Highly recommend!
- sallyr28900AMAZINGToday we went on the ATVs with Nate and honestly it was the best ATV adventure we’ve done! We’ve done it pretty much all over Europe and Middle East but this was amazing! Nate was great (and a great photographer too… 😂), the track was exciting and the views were incredible 10/10 recommend!!
- 271marwinv00Love the ridge runner tour!!My wife and myself did the ridge runner tour up on the blackcomb. We really enjoyed the tour and the guide Anna was awesome she also told us a lot about whistler and the environment.

Our lovely guide Bob was awesome! Our 3 hour snow mobile tour in the Callaghan Valley was good fun, machines were good quality, well maintained comfortable with hand warmer grips. The scenery was breathtaking and we were lucky to have had recent snow so fantastic photos. Sadly the time on snow was limited to approximately 1 hour and 15mins after bus travel and gear and training. So all over before we knew it. We also thought we would spend more time off a groomed track.

I am a local here and booked this as a familiarization tour to see what we sell to our clients. I already recommend this to all guests who ask for activities to do whilst here but I will even more so now knowing how fun this is. We had Tyler as our guide and he made this so enjoyable for all, making sure we were all comfortable and once he could see we were letting us go a little faster on the places where it was safe as well as allowing us to stop to take in the breathtaking views.
I know I myslef will be booking as many tours a sI csn to expereince

The trip was super fun. Our friendly guide, Drew, gave us a quick but thorough introduction to snowmobiles and how to ride them. We toured the groomed trails of Callaghan which gave us lots of practice turning corners and going fast on straight stretches. We also spent some time on a frozen lake where we could really see what the machine could do!

We did the snow mobile tour on Boxing day. Our guide Marie from the very start made us all feel secure in our "new adventure" especially me as I was quite nervous . Clothing was provided if you didn't have any. We had a terrific morning and my husband said it was the highlight of our tour for him.
I would highly recommend this as we felt well looked after and provided with ample knowledge of the area and how to drive the snow mobiles.
Excellent!

I took the intermediate tour with three of my buddies and the scenery was beautiful and our guide was great. I actually got into an accident and crashed my snow mobile into a tree. My guide, Mac was there very fast to make sure I was okay, he called in someone to get me and bring me back to base camp and even drove my friends and I back to Whistler Village and offered to take me to the clinic in the morning. The crew at this company were some of the most thoughtful and outgoing people I’ve met and even though I had an accident, I rate them as 5 stars for the quality of their tour and their professionalism and compassion.

Myself and 5 friends completed the intermediate BC wilderness tour with our guide Nate (guy with the dog). The whole experience was incredible. Nate was very attentive from the start and was also able to gauge the ability of group from the start which made it even more fun. He brought us through beautiful trails and over frozen lake beds as well as some free open roaming on the lakes. He had a great sense of humor and also took so amazing pictures for us on my personal camera (see below) along with some information on the area. Overall I hugely recommend the tour, Nate and BC wilderness

My wife and I decided to sign up for snowmobiling on Christmas Day while kids went skiing. It turned out to be a fun filled adventure. We met at the Canadian Wilderness outlet at Whistler Village. Following briefing by staff, we were escorted by Guide Marie who loaded us on the minibus and drove to Callaghan Valley. Upon arrival, she provided briefing for safe operation of snowmobile and helped our group get ready with proper helmet, goggles and boots/pants for those who needed them. Normal ski clothing would suffice unless weather conditions are extremely poor. Marie was extremely helpful and patient with our large group, guided our tour safely and provided some history of the area. For a first time experience, we thoroughly enjoyed the outing and it was also a very pleasant day. We ended back in the Village around 2pm; in time for a late lunch.

The Callaghan Cruiser was a great tour for our being first-time snowmobilers! The views of the valley and surrounding mountains were stunning!!!
Our guide, Ryan, did a great job of teaching us how to ride the machine, and this made for a fun and safe trip.
The only negative was that the tour could have been a bit longer (actual time spent snowmobiling) for the money. This is why we rated the tour a 4 instead of a 5.
Regardless, we would recommend this tour (and Ryan).

What a Fantastic trip this was, Luckily we had a clear afternoon on the day of the tour but just experience was awesome. All the Staff are very Friendly and helpful. The location was amazing.
Tyler, our tour guide was superb, he had everything under control and took us down some fresh tracks so we got some beautiful views of the valley and mountains.
We even were given the freedom to open the Throttle on the frozen lake and do some laps.
Probably one of the best things I've done. Thanks guys

My wife and I had a great time on the snowmobiles, with Marie as our guide. We were bused from whistler out to the valley and then geared up with helmets and goggles - there was plenty of additional gear for those that needed.
Them after a safety talk we were off on the snowmobiles. The course we were taken on was varied, with hills, flats and a lake. All in all, a great introduction to snowmobiles!
Marie was a great guide for the group, she made sure we all had a good time and we can't speak highly enough of her!
