Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Rafting

What rafting trips do you offer?

We offer whitewater rafting on the Nahatlatch River (our premiere run). When the Nahatlatch is flowing at levels that are too high or low, we also run the Chehalis, Coquihalla, and Thompson rivers. We also offer scenic float rafting trips on the Fraser River and the series of Nahatlatch lakes.

Do I need experience to go rafting?

Nope! Whitewater rafting is a great activity for all levels of paddlers from beginners to experienced. Our skilled guides can cater the trip to your preferences. If you are nervous, please let your guide know so we can accommodate you!

What clothes/gear do I need for rafting?

All you need is a swimsuit. We will provide all of the additional gear including wetsuit, shoes, splash jacket, life jacket, PFD, and helmet. If you get easily cold or you are rafting in the spring, we recommend wearing a layer of thermals under your wetsuit (only wool or polyester, no cotton).

Can non-swimmers go rafting?

Can I bring my camera on the rafting trip?

You can bring your camera on the scenic float trips. However, we don't allow you to bring a camera on the whitewater rafting trips as there aren't make calm sections where you can safely take out your camera. There will be a photographer taking photos along the trip that you can purchase!
