This is a short 30 minute ride north on 99 to Pemberton from Whistler. The dock for the jet boat is right next to the club house. This was a great ride with beautiful mountains in the background. The boat was fast and turned on a dime. We went up the river to Nairn Falls against the rapids. Very exciting. Then we went with the rapids. Our boat driver was great. He also shared info about the area pointing out a bald eagle and ospry nests. Highly recommend the ride. My family loved it.…

The tour starts from a golf course just outside of Pemberton and only a short 30 min drive from where we were staying in Whistler. We were early, so had drinks at the golf club restaurant - we didn’t eat but the food looked great and was reasonably priced. Our Captain (Eric) brought the previous tour in and then we completed the waivers, put on life jackets, got the safety brief and then we were off. The scenery was incredible throughout and we stopped a few times for Eric to tell us something interesting or point something out - like a baby bald eagle still in the nest! The high octane elements were exhilarating but never did we feel at risk - Eric has a great demeanour and was always in control. Great trip out with a top guy - the only thing we might have done different was have lunch at the golf club. Thanks Whistler Jet-boat Team! …

We have white water rafted through some of the best rivers but this was our 1st 'jet boat' ride through rapids and mountain rivers. Beautiful venue, breathtaking mountain vistas, and Eric was a 1st class Captain! He was a Master of this River and he accommodated us for a short window so it was just the 3 of us....wonderful trip, historical, enlightening, Osprey, Eagles nests, history from a childhood in this beautiful area! It was fun, exhilarating, adrenaline rush stuff....just a great afternoon with an amazing guide...it was one of our favorite highlights of our trip to Whistler! We played golf here and so glad we came back for this amazing experience! Thanks, Eric!…

A drive to Pemberton about half an hour from Whistler brought us to the base of Whistler Jet boating. The boat is moored beside the golf course which is a great base as we turned up early and had a super lunch on the clubhouse terrace. It was here that we met Eric, our skipper and after a safety briefing were good to go. The ride was wild and extreme and yet we knew we were in safe hands as Eric has been running boats for over 20 years. Stops along the way where many wonderful sights were pointed out including Eagles and Osprey nests . The ride back was down stream so much faster and the pouring rain seemed to make it more exciting. Totally recommended. …
