Personal Preparation

No previous rafting experience is required and swimming ability is recommended but not essential.  Your guides will teach you all the basic outdoor skills that you will require to safely enjoy the trip, though you should be prepared for the task of living in an outdoor environment and have an open attitude.  Your participation in and around camp is invited, but not expected, as this is a full-service trip.

Registration

Due to the maximum group size of only 16, and limited departure dates, we encourage participants to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. In order to confirm your space on the trip, we require a $200 per person deposit. The balance of the trip fee is due no later than 60 days prior to departure.

Cancellations

Cancel any time up to 60 days prior to departure and receive a full refund on your deposit. There are no cancellations or refunds after the 60 day deadline.

Rafting Equipment

The Fraser is one of the world's largest rivers and we have adapted our equipment to the river. In over two decades of running it's heart-thumping whitewater, we found that our custom-built motorized rafts are the safest and most comfortable rafts for this voyage. Rafts are generally 22 or 28 ft. in length with outrigger pontoons attached for lateral stability. Since we use outboard motors to control the rafts in the rapids, your only job is to hang on and enjoy the ride.
