Rafting
Do you enjoy the rush of slicing through towering, white water rapids, or perhaps you just want to put your feet up and enjoy a scenic float down the river? Whatever your pleasure, we offer raft tours on every level of moving water and ranging in length from half day to 12 days trips. Our experienced, certified guides, will ensure your trip is safe and fun-filled. Enjoy the wilderness that abounds on world-renowned rivers such as the Bulkley, Babine, Skeena, Alsek and Tatshenshini! Top quality rafting gear is supplied and custom trips are available.

With over 30 rapids, the Bulkley River Canyon is one of the most exciting and scenic white water rafting trips in British Columbia. During this challenging 33 kilometers of river, you will experience the thrill of the roller coaster waves of the “Hagwiligit Canyon” and the thundering roar of “Feather-Bed”.

For a great way to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, take a peaceful float trip on one of our popular rivers. Fun the entire family can enjoy, bring your camera, refreshments, and prepare to relax to the sound of water rippling along the shore. Bear, moose and eagles abound, for those who listen and look.

Canoeing/Kayaking
Experience the vastness of Canada’s waterways like the First Nations and early explorers did – by canoe! Canoes are the perfect craft – able to carry heavy loads and yet light enough to be carried when a portage is necessary. In the Bulkley Valley there are thousands of miles of lakeshore and river corridors to explore by canoe or kayak.
Whether you desire the solitude of an early morning paddle on the lake or the adrenaline surge of whitewater – it’s here for you! Our professional certified guides offer trips of varying lengths - from an hour paddle, or multi-day trip, up to a couple week adventures. Places to paddle include – Tyhee Lake – home to loons, bald eagles and ospreys; the Bulkley River and Telkwa River – with sections suitable for easy float trips and sections navigable only by expert paddlers; to canoe routes like Nanika-Kidprice, Swan Lakes; and to the north the Spatsizi and Stikine Rivers.

If you want to improve your canoeing or kayaking skills be sure to take advantage of the full slate of courses offered each spring and summer.

If you want to paddle with a group, check the events calendar for a listing of the Bulkley Valley canoe/kayak trip schedule. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent at various store locations.
