Nahatlatch
Class: 3-4+The Nahatlatch Classic is far more exciting than other rivers near Vancouver or Whistler. In fact, few rivers in North America offer such continuous action yet are still suitable for first-time rafters. What makes the Nahatlatch so addictive and perfect for rafting is the near-continuous, rapid-fire white water. The Classic section features 25 rapids over a 10 km (6 mile) stretch and an average gradient of 85 feet per mile.
Nahatlach Canyon
Class: 4+Rafting the Nahatlatch canyon is an intense adrenaline rushing addition to the Classic Run. The steep-walled canyon creates an exciting ride as each bend in the river reveals a new surprise.
Stein
Class: 5Plunging through an amazingly beautiful wilderness canyon, the Stein is the steepest river that is commercially rafted in Canada!
Thompson
Class: 3+Be one of the many people to raft the Thompson this summer and enjoy the huge roller coaster waves, desert canyon scenery, hot climate and warm water for swimming.
Fraser
Class: 1-2This trip is a gentle float (Class 1-2 rapids) through one of British Columbia's most historic areas. This trip is ideal for children, families, and corporate team building.
Nicola
Class: 2-3The Nicola flows through the hottest and driest region in Canada. Starting in the arid BC Interior near Merritt, the Nicola flows through ranch lands and rugged pine-forest canyons enroute to the Thompson River in Spences Bridge.
Coquihalla
Class: 3The Coquihalla is non-stop action from beginning to end. The Coquihalla features twenty Class 2-3 rapids and a few Class 4 rapids including Committed, Boulder Drop and Initiation.
River of Golden Dreams
Class: 1-2The river was named in emulation of the popular song Down the River of Golden Dreams which was on the hit parade during the heyday of the Rainbow Lodge.
Lower Green River
Class: 2+This is an 8 km rafting adventure. The first rapids are the biggest, two juicy Class 3 sections (intermediate). These rapids can be avoided for those wishing to take a clean (and dry) line.
