Ride the Rapids

Journey to the Nahatlatch Valley, a hidden gem of British Columbia that offers breathtaking wilderness, rich biodiversity, and one of Canada’s most thrilling whitewater experiences. The Nahatlatch River, fed by three jade-green alpine lakes, boasts some of the most continuous rapids commercially rafted in the country. The valley is a paradise of rugged canyons, towering peaks, and vibrant forests, home to diverse wildlife like eagles, bears, and deer. As you navigate the river’s Class III-IV rapids, you’ll also be immersed in the valley’s untouched beauty, a perfect blend of adrenaline and serenity. Whether you’re paddling through thrilling whitewater or hiking its scenic trails, the Nahatlatch Valley offers an unparalleled adventure that connects you to the wild heart of British Columbia.

There are two main sections of the Nahatlatch River. The upper section is a Class III-IV run that’s perfect for all levels of paddlers when on a tour with the experienced guides at REO Rafting & Yoga Resort. The non-stop rapids and big splashes offer endless fun. The lower canyon section is Class IV-V with some rapids that require portages. Tours on this section are not currently offered by REO due to the risks involved.
