Been here before and decided to bring our road trip to pass by here. Although online suggested buying tickets online, this place was not busy at all with zero line ups and ample parking. The airtram experience was great offering great views to and from its lower facility. This place features multiple exhibits, gift shop, gold panning station, cafe (reviewed separately), bridge, and fudge store that offers a decent experience to the average tourist. Compared to my previous experience, this place feels a little dead. Perhaps it's not the summer season yet, but I feel like the shops they had originally have turned to exhibits for the sake of cutting manpower costs. The gold panning station was kind of lacklustre without anyone teaching about the mechanics like before. Overall it's a solid 3 and very hard for me to place a 4 like before.

Spectacular views and a unique experience, but a few things to know before you go. Hell’s Gate is definitely worth a visit if you’re driving through the Fraser Canyon. The gondola ride across the canyon is short but breathtaking, and the views of the rushing Fraser River are stunning. The suspension bridge and historical displays add a nice touch, and the whole place feels like a piece of BC history. However, parking is very limited, so try to arrive early. The on-site restaurant has a very limited menu — mostly sandwiches (around $14), two soups, fries, and burgers. The food is overpriced and not very impressive. Also, the gift shop, while fun to browse, is quite expensive. Still, the scenery makes up for the downsides. If you manage your expectations for food and shopping, the overall experience is memorable and well worth it. Also there's only one bathroom at the bottom of the Canon

Been running since 1968 and well worth stopping and doing the tram. A good history lesson on it being part of the gold rush. Great gift shop and restaurant, staff are very friendly.

A great place to stop and stretch your legs on a long road trip and well worth the time spent. A great look into the history of the salmon runs on the river. There’s a great little ‘spooky’ self-guided tour and the suspension bridge was definitely a bit hair raising. Also, they have a penny crusher machine so make sure you have some loonies!

Skip it! Don’t waste your money here. They had the most unfriendly staff, if you can even find one. The place is like a ghost town. If I knew how rundown this place had gotten, I wouldn’t even pay $5 a person to get in let alone the hefty price of $37. Thank goodness my son under 5 still otherwise it’s $32 a kid! There are zero activities there, the “gold panning” is a disgrace - the water is a biohazard and there was barely any gravel let alone any “gold”. I feel offended for all the tourist that come here and think this place represents Canada in any way shape or form. Also, 1 single gum ball at the candy store was $23.09…. Excuse me whatttt?!?

I've been to hell's gate a number of times and it has a nice view of the Frazer river but there isn't really much to do once you've taken the airtram to the bottom. The gift store is lacking and doesn't have much things to offer but the fudge on the other had is really good. The tickets for hells gate are kind of expensive but understanding this place is more of a tourist attraction. 7/10

Super disappointing and limited experience. This is my Honest review with no filter or sugar coating. I would have given it one star but fell sorry because nature and surrounding elements are spectacular indeed. Where do we start with negatives?! First off the price set at $35 is not only steep but completely unjustified. I read a review before I went there that it’s very rundown and nothing really to do there. I didn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Once you get up across the river after a very. Beautiful but short tram ride you have a suspension bridge, a counter that was once a restaurant, a sad, overpriced and limited store, a small gallery history museum and a Fudge and candy store that sells terrible fudge by the way. The restaurant looks so run down that we didn’t order anything. They had 5-6 food choices on the menu and it’s an actual counter self serve cashier. The store sells some items and cheap souvenirs some you’d find in Vancouver aquarium and bc ferries but much more pricey. The sweet shop / ice cream fudge was a total joke. I got a sea salt and caramel. If you’ve never had a fudge in your life there is a small chance you might like it. It was salty like they dumped the salt and rolled it into a mushy paste with some hint of sweet caramel. I almost died in the first bite. The whole place seems unkept and rundown. It really is a shame because it is such a heritage site and deserves to shine. I imagine if a better owner take care of this place it could receive some boost and major upgrades.

Was there for wellness retreat. Beautiful setting... very scenic. Loved sleeping by the roaring river. Friendly and very helpful staff. Retreat leaders Naomi and Ally were knowledgeable and competent. Food was delicious! Only suggestion: Would have appreciated more accommodation for those of us who still love gluten, eggs, and dairy 🙏 Thank you

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary just a couple of hours from home at the most charming little gem tucked in the mountains—REO Resort. Our package included everything, but due to feeling unwell, we kept things simple and soaked in the beauty of the resort and the nearby lakes. And truly, that was more than enough. We were blown away by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. The resort was immaculately clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. Even though the main bathrooms were out of order during our stay (and making the trek every hour while 34 weeks pregnant felt like a hike in itself!), we still had a wonderful experience. The food deserves its own review—every meal was intentional, fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious. Five-star dining that we’re still dreaming about! It was exactly what we needed. Quiet, restorative, and deeply special. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience here at REO! The amazing: the staff are so friendly and helpful. Bryan and Karen really care about this property and business and it shows in the way they treat each of us like a valued guest. The tents were beautiful and clean, right by the river. The food is homemade, and delicious. It is served by the staff along with some help-yourselves on the side. The good to know, in case you are planning to go: the river noise level is a bit high even for a sound sleeper like me, I would actually recommend wearing light earplugs to block out the loud white noise! The last 8km are all varying levels of gravel, so drive a car that can handle the bumps and pebbles. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering!

I met up with 4 long-time friends for a 5 days getaway and we had never been to REO before. It far exceeded my expectations! The yurts were large, comfortable and had excellent deck furniture for hanging out by the river. The food was delicious, fresh, and varied in flavours (and plentiful!). The staff were friendly and helpful, and the owner Bryan checked in with us every day, and accepted our teasing with ease. They have done an incredible job rebuilding after the devastating forest fire 2 years ago - from the yurts and yoga buildings, to the hammocks and hot tub, dining area and indoor and outdoor showers, it's a treat to visit. We did rafting and yoga, but added on archery when we got there - it was a surprise how much they had to offer! This is a family-run business with a long and dedicated history to this area and it's connection to nature.

Our family had the most enjoyable visit to REO last week. The resort provided exceptional service, including great food, comfortable tents/beds with exceptional river views at each site, and very helpful staff. The river rafting was a great experience, with professional guides who made the trip down river a great one. The Yoga classes were lead by a great instructor with the most beautiful views available. The private beach and hot tub offered a great place to relax and recharge. There was so much to do, we required more time to do it all! Looking forward to our next visit!

We had a girls weekend here and it was lovely. The tent was beside the river with a beautiful deck. The beds were comfortable and it was close to the bathrooms. All of the services were great and the food was fantastic. Massages were great, Yoga was excellent and kayaking was fun. I will definitely be coming again to enjoy more activities.

Fantastic rafting on the Nahatlatch river! The staff were all great. Very fun and lots of good humour. They served us an excellent lunch of burgers and the best potato salad I've ever had, and the hot tub was a treat after rafting. Thanks for a great day!

Cool place! The historical buildings that are spotted around this site are really cool! There wasn't anyone to talk to so we didn't get any history lessons. It was awesome that you could actually walk around inside the buildings too.

Free! Self guided! Super colorful garden! Must stop!! Thank you Village elders for sharing.

Sad to see it seems to be no longer open since covid. No gift shop, no other people around. Could have been so interesting.

Beautiful Heritage Place with a lot of information about Indigenous culture and history. Must-stop place along the way.

Nice, very well kept place with types of indigenous teepee and winter place. There’s not staff thou, you visit it by yourself

Beautiful area but I think this place has been closed since beginning of covid. We were able to walk around but there was no gift shop or anything. No other humans were around. Very grateful that the bathrooms were open and had soap and paper towel. I hope it will reopen again in the future

For anyone traveling or working in Boston Bar the Cafe is a must stop. The ladies and food beyond amazing. Home cooked meals and a decent price. Worth it to stop and support a great community Cafe.
