JD was my guide for the Yukon Breakfast Snowmobile Tour. He was awesome at making everyone was comfortable riding the snow machine before heading up the mountain as it was many people's first time driving one. He was super friendly and encouraging. The tour was the perfect amount of time. When we got to the hut, Georgie was our cook and breakfast was ready as soon as we got in the door. Everything was delicious and lots of coffee to be had! All the guests and staff were in great spirits. Thanks so much Canadian, we will certainly be back for more, and now with a little more experience we look forward to trying one of your longer backcountry tours next time!

Did Yukon Breakfast tour. LOVED IT! You do need to be comfortable shifting your body weight quickly on the machine, not just your hips like a motorcycle. Also be comfortable with a few steep drops and some speed. If that sounds like your idea of fun. Then sign up, its a worthwhile experience

The Yukon breakfast tour was an incredible experience! Perfect for people who are adventurous but relatively new to snowmobiling. The breakfast was everything we could have asked for and ready as soon as we arrived at the cabin. Shout out to our super knowledgeable guide J.D and chef Georgie!

Canadian Wilderness Adventures showed us a very fun time in the mountains. We did the Wilderness Run 3 hour tour. This was a good fit for my friends who had never been on a snowmobile before, but are adventurous and skilled enough to keep up. Our only problem, and this is not specific to this company, was that we had a couple in our tour group who were significantly slower than the rest of us. It did not detract from our experience but we had to rush back to the shuttle and Whistler village because our guide had another tour that afternoon. Overall, a fun morning with great service.

If you're looking for something adventurous to do that does not require the ability to snowboard or ski this is an adventure for you. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. My two guides Jen and Jenna we're extremely helpful with making sure I was properly geared up for the excursion. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and it was a lot of fun. Jen and Jenna gave proper instructions for a safe snowmobiling adventure, even for those who have never been on a snowmobile before. this was a highlight of my trip which is why I'm doing a second snowmobile excursion and also trying their snowcat fondue excursion which will be in another review.

We booked dog sledding for this morning. Amazing! One of the best experiences we've had as a family. If I could give 10 stars I would. Everything was fantastic and really well run. The staff and guides were friendly and really interested in our experience. They were so informative about the dogs. We loved every minute. It cost alot of money but honestly it's worth every cent. Our guide was brilliant and let my 5yo son have a turn driving. The dogs were so healthy and cared for, it was really lovely to see. You can tell they adore their dogs. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting a really amazing winter experience.

I did the Call of the wild ATV tour yesterday. Abby was our guide and she did a fantastic job. We were taken up the mountain and went to a cave and saw a lake. Splashed through huge puddles and had a fantastic time. Keep up the great work.

We did a beginners ATV tour today with Ben as our trip leader. What a fun time. He did a brief training session on the equipment, making sure that we were all comfortable operating the ATV, and then safely led a very nice tour, stopping a few times for very scenic pictures along the way. My wife and I truly enjoyed this experience. Would definitely recommend.

Did the call of the wild ATV tour which is their intermediate level tour. The guides are very nice, they provide transportation. ATV’s are pretty nice. Their helmets seem kind of new which I really liked. The trails are really fun. The view is not very good but I felt they focused more on the riding than sightseeing for this tour. I suggest doing the shorter tour if you want a nice view. I do wish they somehow managed the riders level a bit better for the intermediate tour. As some members in the group obviously had a really tough time keeping up.

Our e-mtn bike tour up to Alexander falls was great. The Giant e-bikes were very good. I wish the ride was longer. The staff are excellent!

We did the Odyssey ATV tour on 8 Jul 2019 and it was awesome! We got picked up from our hotel and had a short wait at the Canadian Wilderness Adventures office before everyone loaded on the bus for about a 30 minute bus ride to the ATV spot. We were very pleased to have the option to wear their rubber suits and boots to protect our clothes from water and mud. Dan was our guide and he did a great job of setting a fun pace that kept everyone safe. The ATVs were easy to learn and gave you the choice of automatic or manual shifting. The trails were fun and the scenery was great. I would recommend this trip to just about anyone (probably wouldn’t be great for small kids).

Called them at 0835 to book the Odyssey Off-road buggy tour at 0900. They happily accommodated the last minute booking and even arranged for a pick up from the hotel within 5 mins. This was amazing customer happiness service as it’s best, as other places might have said no. The staff at reception was great and efficient, without all the documentation done without a hitch. They also made sure we left on time. Our guide was Dan, who’s safe word was ‘DAN HELP!!!’, and he was awesome. He was calm and helpful, and already made sure we were safe. He is also a pretty damn good photographer with an iPhone. You can definitely see he loved his job. Yellow splash/rain gear was provided...wanted more hip colours for better pictures, but overall the gear ensured I didn’t get muddy at all. The buggy were in good condition with a maximum speed set at 49/50. Definitely recommend the buggy tour and with the customer service, would recommend trying the other tours as well. They also offer a discount for returning customers and you could also get 20% discount at a nearby restaurant. Also, you have to feed Dan.

Our buggy tour was fantastic! Our Guides Sam and K2 were very patient and easy going. The trails were fun with beautiful views we definitely recommend this as a fun family activity.

Did the Off road buggies with tour guide K2- such a great, knowledgeable guide and had some great stories on the history of the area! He did an incredible job catering our tour to the skill level of our group and kept us laughing the whole trip! The tour was amazing but K2 made our experience exceptional - a must do in Whistler!

Had an awesome experience with the ATV Salmon Bake tour. Our guide was Mitch. He was great. Even had the forethought to move the most timid riders to the back of the line so we could all have a better experience. Would love to go back someday (if we can ever afford it again- very expensive but totally worth it). Thanks for the most fun date night ever!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. We got Nate as our Guide and wow, did he turn it up. Full-on 4x4 driving in a lifted Jeep, (had the kids howling with laughter and cheek-splitting gins), the history and nature talk was so interesting and to top it off, the food at Crystal Hut was amazing. The Salmon was a 10 oz monster and the great music just topped it off. One of the best experiences we've ever been on. Well done Canadian Wilderness, proved you're the best in the country, yet again!

Incredible experience! Such beautiful views! The employees were friendly at the sign in desk and our guide was incredible! He made sure everyone was comfortable driving and spent time with each group talking about the areas we stopped at and offered to take photos of each group. What a great personality, perfect for this tour! Thanks Joe!

Today my boyfriend and I went on the intermediate ATV tour. We booked it for the 9am spot and it turned out that it was only the 2 of us on the tour. We had Jenna as our tour guide and she was awesome! The tour lasted for approximately 2 hours of riding times with a couple stops at scenic view points. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do a fun excursion in Whistler. We will be coming back soon for their snowmobiling tour during the winter

We had a Jeep tour today and had an excellent time. Our guide Kyle (aka K2) was very knowledgeable of the area and patient with our family. He took time to answer our questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time and had a nice surprise for us at the end. We appreciated his help and insistance with family photos. Thank you K2!

I went on the Canoe our with Ryan and it was amazing!! The tour starts in Alta lake and it takes you trough a place called "Lilly pad lane". We didn't do the full River of Golden dreams as a good portion was too shallow for canoe's but it was still an amazing day. Ryan was so friendly and informative.Overall it was a nice, relaxing way to spend and afternoon :)
