Adventure Description

One of the most fun ways of spending a summer's day. Elora is a gorgeous spot a couple of hours out of the city with rapids that cut through overhanging rock on both sides. We'll get equipped with tubes that will safely take us down the river, over rapids before spitting us out at the bottom so we can go back up and do it again. This is one of Toronto's most iconic and popular day trips for a good reason and with the weather we've got coming up it promises to be an amazing day.

In between runs we'll chill out in the park, eat lunch together and spend an afternoon in the sun. This is a fully guided trip!

We'll get equipped with tubes that will safely take us down the river, over rapids before spitting us out at the bottom so we can go back up and do it again. This is one of Toronto's most iconic and popular day trips for a good reason and with the weather we've got coming up it promises to be an amazing day.
