'Believe me, there is nothing- absolute nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." - Wind in the Willows
Nahanni River Raft
The Nahanni, a wilderness river of international recognition, is viewed by many as Canada's classic river trip. Its global significance and raw beauty has resulted in Nahanni being the first World Heritage Site honoured by UNESCO back in 1979.
Our journey on the Nahanni begins at the base of Virginia Falls. This magnificent cataract drops over 90m or twice the height of Niagara Falls. As we descend the Nahanni River, its tempo increases. A series of canyons, with some walls towering 1200m, offer unimaginable views, photo opportunities, and memories to last a lifetime. Locales, such as the Funeral and Headless Ranges in Deadmen’s Valley, have given rise to some of the north's best myths and legends. And just when you think that there couldn't be more that the Nahanni can offer, we will stop for a soak in the soothing 32°C waters of Kraus’ Hot Spring.
Where the Nahanni meets the Liard River, it begins to slow as it meanders through a maze of gravel bars and islands. We will stop at Nahanni Butte for a tour of the historic native village located there, before ending our tour at Lindberg Landing.
The Nahanni offers great opportunities to observe wildlife as we navigate its corridor. Nahanni is home to Dall sheep, caribou, moose, bears, bald eagles and trumpeter swans.

Meals: We
will look after all meals while on the river. Our trip menu is well rounded,
hearty and satisfying. The meals served and the time required to prepare them
fit well into our daily routines. The fire and kitchen area usually become the
social area for each campsite. We cook over wood fires with a pan and fire box
and with propane stoves. We brings roll-o-tables and a stool for each person
on the trip. Beer, wine and some liquors are supplied for a few of the meals.
Our food is prepackaged meal by meal in plastic bags and then packed into canoe
barrels, aluminum raft boxes and coolers. There is a significant amount of fresh
food provided, especially for the first week. This allows us to provide some
fresh meats, cheeses, lots of salads, vegetables and fruit. We baking with Dutch
ovens for mail courses and desserts.
