Hello all,

I posted in thw Whistler forum, but given the short amount of time and the increased volume in this forum I thought this might get quicker responses.

Trying to firm up some activities and dining for my wife and I's upcoming trip to Whistler.

We are outdoor, active people who enjoy the thrilling and adventourous activities. As such we are looking for advice on the following:

1) White Water Rafting - can someone recommend a company to use that will provide some decent rapids - nothing beginner but nothing extreme or expert.

2) For renting a Mountain Bike to hit up the Mountain Bike Park and surrounding trails would you use Summit Sports or Evolution Whistler? Anybody with any experience with either?

3) Is Ziptrek the only ziplining tour operator in Whistler?

4) I have heard of an ATV tour that takes you to the top of Whistler Mountain - can someone provide the name of the tour operator.

As for the dining aspect we are looking for some casual and some fine dining restaurants (price range in the $30 for the casual to $60 for the fine dining per person range).

We are staying at the Hilton Resort if that helps.

I only have personal experience with Ziptrek, and they were great! Regular safety routines, good guides and an informative program beyond riding the cables. I can enthusiastically recommend them.

I believe i read somewhere the white water rafting company is not running this summer,but check it out when you get there they are right beside the whistler gondola.most restaraunts up there will fall into your price range,they usually have the menus posted out front .
