It's even beautiful from the parking lot.
Hugh A.

The staff is super helpful here. We were looking to go out on the water as a family. They recommended the paddleboat and it worked out just fine. They prorate after the first hour which is cool. I think an hour is enough. They even have a 50% off kids deal when you check in on yelp.

Review Highlights - Backroads Whistler

Like Eric mentioned, it was not IF we hit a bush but WHEN we did it really tested our skills and was a lot of fun maneuvering through.

Weird that this place isn't mentioned anywhere on Yelp. Regardless, this my review of the vendor…read more After zip lining earlier in the morning by Blackcomb, we drove over to Alta Lake for our canoe rental. We researched this prior to our trip out to Vancouver and Whistler and this did not disappoint. The ambiance is so mellow, it was mainly younger families who were picnicking on the grounds with their wee little ones, as the younger and non-children adults were mainly in the water in various activities: swimming, boating, paddle-boarding, kayaking, canoeing. We made a reservation to the the latter of all the options. You're given a 10 mins introduction to the map of your self-guided tour as well as what to expect. After that, you're ready to go. FYI: those canoe's are heavy has hell, so better have some arm muscles as you will be carrying it on and off the waters at some part of the self-guided tour. The trip starts off with you paddling through Alta lake, where you'll see gorgeous lakeside homes along with various boating and SUPs to kayakers everywhere. You'll get views of Whistler and Blackcomb mountain, which makes for great shots. At times, it got a little congested, but it was fine. From the lake it turns into a stream which results in ~2.5-3 hours in your vessel floating or rowing through valley wetlands. What you are not informed about is the RIDICULOUS amount of mosquitoes on the water. I'm prone to get mosquitoes bites... prior to the trip, had zero bites; after this, I had easily over a dozen!!!! No joke! After you're done, there's a free shuttle that picks up you and your rental and returns you to the starting line. Everyone's professional and prompt in helping you load the boat, and customer service was great. Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for me leaving with all my mosquito bites. Hope I didn't catch malaria!

Wonderful excursion. Very peaceful and beautiful. Staff was great. Equipment and instruction very…read moregood. Highly recommend!
