LEGENDARY THOMPSON RIVER

Full Day Rafting Trip - Spences Bridge to Lytton

Power or Paddle Rafting

This is BC's most popular river trip, pioneered by Bernie Fandrich in 1973.

Before lunch the river snakes through hot desert-like terrain mixing calm, flat stretches (perfect for swimming beside the raft) with huge, rolling waves. At Nicomen (halfway to Lytton) the river enters the Devil's Gorge, unleashing its fury in eighteen unforgettable rapids like the Jaws of Death, Devil's Kitchen and Witch's Cauldron.

Swimming ability is not essential on the power raft trips (min. age 10 years), but is strongly recommended on the paddle raft trips (minimum age 12 years).

Over the years, Kumsheen has introduced the Thompson River to hundreds of thousands of rafting guests.

Features:

Big whitewater action, unbelievable stories & yarns, Nicomen Falls luncheon.  Bernie, founder of Kumsheen and pioneer of whitewater rafting on the Thompson River shares some of his own stories in his newly released E-Book.
