Summary: We had an incredible experience at Squamish Canyon! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well done. We were pleasantly surprised to find a cafe halfway through the beautiful walk. Although it was a rainy day, they had a large covered area with heaters for us to relax and enjoy our coffee and snacks! All the staff were very friendly and helpful’ Safety is clearly a top priority here. It’s obvious that a lot of thought has gone into designing the experience with both fun and safety in mind. We were 4 ladies in our sixties and we felt very comfortable walking through. We loved every minute of it!

Summary: This was an absolutely stunning experience. The construction of the walkways and viewing platforms is a marvel in itself - the quality of workmanship is outstanding. There is a miss in that they did not make this wheelchair accessible - there are a lot of stairs but no ramps. The stairs are well constructed and built to a step that would be akin to mild effort to use. We went on a sunny day. Sometimes the canyon waters are blue or green or beige or milky white. We got milky white which made for one of the most beautiful scenes I have seen on this globe. The effect walking through the temperate rainforest is as if you are in the most beautiful cathedral in the world. Take time to enjoy the forest lounge. Getting to the site you have to take a gravel road and signage is not great but follow the GPS and you will get there with ease. It is worth the effort and well worth the cost of admission - what a vision the creator of this site had and what a treat it was to be there!

Summary: We didn’t know what to expect when we arrived but were amazed by the whole experience. It was a bit drizzly on the day which was perfect as we had the place practically to ourselves. It was stunning and incredibly well laid out with conservation at the forefront. The waterfalls were incredible with fantastic view spots. We also saw a bear with her two cubs from the safety of the raised walkway. It was the highlight of our trip to Canada.
