Thompson River Day Trip

Legendary Late-Summer Rafting

One of the best end of summer paddle rafting trips in Canada. Surrounded by desert canyon scenery, enjoy huge roller coaster waves like the Frog and Witches Cauldron. As water levels drop the waves become bigger and more defined, perfect for smaller REO paddle rafts. This creates an exciting, high-energy experience that’s ideal for both first-timers and seasoned paddlers alike.

My Best Memory of Summer, Thanks to REO
"Rafting down the Thompson as part of a team of fellow first-timers was an absolute thrill. The feeling of rushing towards the rapids as your guide yells "Forward!!" was absolutely exhilarating. All in all we had an amazing experience with REO and would gladly recommend to others and book there again."
