    The job is to review the company AND the experience but there are several factors at play here.  First of all the river tends to be high in May/June so going whitewater rafting in July leaves you with low water but still enjoyable and adventurous especially for beginners or new to rafting.  
        We arrived at the meeting spot and were greeted by Hyak guides who were friendly, informative, and open.  Gave us the info and were required to wear bodysuits which I hated but the water was cold and what can you do?  Anyway, the guide we had was Sophie and she made the trip 10x more enjoyable and always with a smile and a little sarcasm.  It was informative and we seemed to be smiling and enjoying ourselves way more than the other boats. The trip itself was beautiful including the people along the riverbanks, the whale sighting, and the dreaded "Allyson" pool haunted by a ghost.  If you ask Sophie she'll know what I'm talking about.  
         Lot's more to say but have to reiterate that this is Vancouver at it's greatest.  The people at Hyak were from all over the world staying in Vancouver because of the beauty of it's nature and adding to the beauty of it's people.  It would have gotten 5 stars if not for the low water at this time. Paddles up from Chicago.
