We live in the best place on earth, so we are told. But how can we argue?
Now that the sun is starting to shine, our beloved neighbourhood is providing us with those glorious beach days that we dream about all year. And who can forget those winter months, when we are (usually) blessed with beautiful snow capped mountains and amazing ski conditions. Now that the weather is warming those beautiful snow capped mountains are melting. And what happens when all that snow melts? Whitewater Rafting season begins!
This summer I think every British Columbian should make it their goal to go out and experience the beauty our province has to offer. And what better way to do this, then to go river rafting.
Nestled in the Nahatlatch valley, REO Rafting Resort offers some of the www.globosurfer.com/best-whitewater-kayaks available anywhere in the world. A 2.5 hour drive from the lower mainland, visitors to the resort can come up to raft for the day or spend multiple nights and experience the tranquility of our rivers edge accommodations.
In an effort to get more Vancouverites out and about in their province we’re giving away a daytrip up to REO Rafting Resort. This daytrip includes the rafting trip, all of your equipment, river snacks, and full use of the resort amenities.
To enter your name to win the REO Rafting Resort daytrip, simply comment on this blog post about your favorite BC outdoor activity before midnight on Friday, July 9th. The folks at REO will pick a winner from the entries and we’ll announce the winner here the following day.

Playing tennis in Stanley Park or Kits beach and swimming in an outdoor pool! Gotta <3 Vancouver!
wow! only one activity? how about snowboarding at cypress. rollerblading on the seawall. paddle boarding at spanish banks? river rafting sounds like SO MUCH FUN! 🙂
Playing roller hockey out at Ambleside in West Vancouver!
Definitely hiking. There are so many amazing hikes within just one hour of where I live (Kits). It’s amazing to be so close to the city, but feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.
This looks like a blast. The last time I was rafting was in Costa Rica and I have yet to hit the frigid glacial waters of BC. Looks very cool. Thanks Kitsilano.ca!!
Swimming at the Kits Beach salt water pool…right beside the ocean and a gorgeous view of the mountains!! 🙂
Fav. place is tofino
Anything outdoors – hiking, swimming, biking and more!
Hiking is probably one of the best activities offered by BC!
Skiing during the winter and hiking and sailing during the summer- We have it all here!
I would love to win this rafting trip!
My fave activity is walking around the seawall.
My fave outdoor activity is hanging out by the beach and hiking the mountain trails!
Visiting a different Gulf Island every summer, going kayaking at Jericho, swimming in the ocean, hiking at Lighthouse park and watching the fireworks at the Festival of Lights every summer!
I recently went canoeing in Widgeon Creek. It was beautiful. It is the perfect place for the bird watching and to absorb the beauty of BC. The whole experience was very peaceful, slowly paddling through the estuary. After a tranquil canoeing experience, I’m ready for some fast action in the rapids and the excitement of whitewater rafting!
Awesome! I’ve been once before to REO and had a great time.
My favorite outdoor activity would have to be kayaking, anywhere really. My #1 favorite place would have to be Clayoquot Sound – absolutely stunning beaches and forests to explore!
Cant pick just one…Watching the sunset over west van at the kits dog beach. And Nanaimo’s Treego course at WildPlay Parks 🙂
I havent been whitewater rafting in years and it would be amazing to do it again in the most beautiful place in the world!
Ive never been river rafting. I would so love to win this !!!!!
My fave outdoor activity is swimming in a lake
My boyfriend and I absolutely love kayaking around false creek and out to Stanley Park, then stopping by English Bay for an ice cream. Yum!
Simply sitting on a log at Kits Beach with my friends around me, the open ocean in front of me and the mountains over me.. I’m glad I’m now a Vancouverite, a far cry from the hustle and bustle of London, England.
The poetry of the earth is never dead. ~John Keats
Hands down, the snow activities. Skiing, boarding, tubing, building snowmen, love it all!
Trail riding in the Caribou. Stunning vistas! Delicious BBQ! Love that BC Summer!
My favourite outdoor activity would be hiking at Lynn Canyon!
Favorite BC activities… too much to count 😉 Rollerblading from Stanley Park to English Bay, soaking up the sun at Whitepine beach, strolling around the streets of Victoria, playing tennis at any outdoor court, and skimboarding of course 🙂
Thanks so much!
I love hiking, then kayaking in Deep Cove. On the way back to the GTA stopping for a gelato and walk on Kits beach! perfect day 🙂
Kayaking at Bowen Island. Sailing in the Broughton Islands. River rafting (rafted about 5 different rivers in BC). Biking along Jericho, Locarno, Spanish Banks at sunset. Impossible to pick a favourite.
It’s hard to pick just one, but It’s going to have to be watching the sun set over English bay with an ice cream cone! MMMMM
u gotta’ be here!
I live riding my bike and white water rafting – my girlfriends planned a rafting weekend for my stagette!
Biking the Marine Drive loop around UBC and back to Kits, followed by some Blizzard eating on the beach!
