We LOVED our adventure today! Who wouldn’t enjoy an adrenaline rush of speeding through the mountain paths on a side by side? Incredible. Not to mention, Alyce made our experience extra memorable by being a perfect guide. We are so thankful we were paired with her. She was knowledgeable, extremely personable, fun and just genuinely a fantastic person. Alyce made our day absolutely perfect and we can’t wait for our next adventure in Whistler.

Fantastic adrenaline rush

Alison_B, Oct 2025

Day well spent

Stacy_P, Aug 2025

We had a great time driving the side by side up the trails. Harrison was our guide and he took on a fun ride, with some stops with great veiws. Be sure to plan for extra time at the base as your ticket comes with a day pass for their other activities including a arial obstacle course, zip lines and more

Insane and exciting!

Jan_B, Oct 2024

Toby was a great guide! I highly recommend The Adventure Group ATV tours. The terrain was rough, wet, rugged and beautiful.

Great experience!

Kan_W, Sep 2024

This is definitely a must do! Instructor(forgot his name) was very professional and constantly checked up on everyone to see if they’re ok. If you can drive then this shouldn’t be too hard. Even my wife had a blast driving. Would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

Riding atv

The whole experience was great. The views of the valleys and mountains at the stops were magnificent, going through the puddles, up the hills, etc.

A Don’t Miss Out - Awesome 4x4 ATV

Linda_S, Aug 2024

Two Aussies looking for some fun and a safe adventure. Mission accomplished with George on the side-by-side ATV buggies from Whistler. Soo much water, humps, bumps and potholes. Great scenic tracks and vistas. Soo much fun and a real 4x4 time out. Highly recommend.

Good time

Caleb_s, Aug 2024

My wife and I l, Had a great ride wasn't dusty and the rain before we got there made enough mud to get dirty.

Wet n Wild

Sarah_B, Aug 2024

It was raining in the day we did this adventure. It made it even more fun, we thought. They outfitted us with rain gear. We were amazed at how easily those ATVs move over that terrain. The forest was beautiful and the view was awesome but the fun was driving places you could never go in a regular vehicle. Our guide was excellent.

Such a Blast!

Denise_G, Aug 2024

Our guide was great and luckily for us we only had 3 in our group. It’s pretty dusty so at times was hard to see but what a blast! We were allowed to let it all hang out. Our group all had off-road experience so we were allowed to go go go. I highly recommend this adventure and maybe go during the week so your group is smaller. Our guide let us trade off on who was in front so that was nice but I’m not sure that could be done in a large group.

Safe fun thrill ride worth every cent!

Kapena_S, Aug 2024

The Can-am side by side is an awesome machine! I always wanted to experiance it! And Will our guide led us safely and was always looking back checking on us. I was a bit intimidated by the terrain (rocky road) but the Razor just ate it up no worries! Awesome! What a blast!

Expect to get a little...

Arian_K, Jul 2024

Expect to get a little dusty. Great tour guide great experience. Would do it again, thank you for a great time.

Great views and fun adventure!

Robin_G, Jul 2024

We had so much fun! Our guides were great and made sure everyone was safe. The views on this adventure were some of our favorites on our Whistler trip. 10/10 recommend!

Unforgettable Experience

Lindsay_P, Jun 2024

Thank you to Gasper for an unforgettable time for my daughter and I. The whole experience at Adventure Group was incredible-friendly and accommodating staff. The trip itself was thrilling, beautiful scenery and all in all just a super way to spend a morning or afternoon. The weather was exceptional which helped. We took advantage of the jackets as there was some water along the way but it made for the experience. Would absolutely recommend and would do this again in a heartbeat.

Wild Ride

David_H, Jun 2024

Fantastic trails to test your off road driving skills. Mountain views. Quite a wild ride. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun.

Super Fun Time

Alan_J, May 2024

It was a blast! The scenery and the tour routes were awesome. Our guide was excellent (apologies for forgetting his name). He had a British accent)

Do it when u are in Whistler

bebe, May 2024

My children 22 and 19 years old really enjoyed their experience with the razor adventure, even was raining but still they said “ AMAZING”. Ty

The rugged trails were so...

Bonnie_R, Nov 2023

The rugged trails were so much fun. I was surprised that we were able to travel that fast and what the RZR was able to climb up and travel over. The views were absolutely beautiful

Great trip

Sean_E, Aug 2023

Every trip in whistler has been awesome, this one was the topper of the week . We were able to test the machine’s capabilities. We had a blast

Exciting

Sarah_S, Aug 2023

Great fun and Gabbi was a great guide. Made it fun for all. Would prefer if it was set times for the activities as with kids long waits just gets tedious.

good value for money

Estelle_A, Aug 2023

The razor tour was awesome and the Ariel adventure course was challenging but really fun. Turn up early in the day. I was not aware when I booked the razor tour that it was an entire park pass. Great value for money, but we missed out on the zip line due to timing. All the staff were great.

Nice tour, very exciting...

hannelore_s, May 2023

Nice tour, very exciting tour to do. Very bumpy roads and you will get a bit dirty and dusty! Awesome!

A Must Do!!

Katherine_P, May 2023

What an adventure! We had an incredible time on the RZR backcountry experience. It’s like nothing we’ve done before. Kaitlin was an excellent guide - fun, friendly, and thorough. We will talk about this adventure for years to come. If you’re anywhere near Whistler, this is a must!

Fantastic

AshleyHay_B, May 2023

Fantastic tour and even better guides I believe they was chase and and Aussie guy I didn’t catch his name

So awesome !

Sean_B, May 2023

We loved every second of it! Even saw snow on the ride … so fun can’t wait to do it again!!! The guides are amazing and the views incredible!

Everyone should do this once

Rodger_D, Oct 2019

It was awesome.. the guide was very professional but was still fun.. the back country was incredible! I could this everyday, and my son also loved it. It was a great way to spend the morning

So Fun

Theresa_K, Aug 2019

They start with safety and a review of the vehicle etc.. I was worried at first it was going to be boring because of their focus on safety. No so, these vehicles are hardy and we did some really awesome trails up mountains and creek beds etc. Plus I lost my phone somewhere on the journey and the dread set in thinking about replacing all the information and the cost. Luckily we have find my i-phone apps on all our phones and we were able to locate where it was. Our guide checked it out on the phone and knew exactly where it was. He went out on his break and found my phone for me. Above and beyond. I was so happy.

Amazing Experience

Jared_P, Jun 2019

This was definitely the best thing to do in Whistler. The guide was amazing and views were breathtaking. Would definitely recommend this to anyone going.

One of the best offered excursions.

Daniel B, Jul 2018

Wife and I loved it. Wish it would have rained. Very dusty but not an issue. Great time. Awesome guide as well.

Perfect mix of adrenaline and...

amylkoop, Jun 2017

Perfect mix of adrenaline and sightseeing! Guide was awesome. Prepare to get dirty. Followed up with ziplines reaching 70mph speeds. Definite yes!

Superb tour, you get really really...

Nita_G, Nov 2016

Superb tour, you get really really dusty, clothes hair face etc etc. My son wore a white t shirt which was a big mistake. A little bit scary when you are driving right next to drops but we all loved it. Crash helmets provided and tour guide always stopped to make sure we were all still following and a few stops made to take pics. We loved the tour and loved Whistler in the Summer. Kids were age 16 and 14
