One week raft trip down the Nahanni River

Spend a week rafting on the Nahanni River. For those with limited holiday time, this raft trip adventure allows you to experience the Nahanni's 'Grand Canyons' and many of the other features the river is renowned for. You will begin your journey at the famous Virginia Falls and travel 150 miles to Blackstone Landing. This is a good family adventure and allows lots of time to relax and take in the scenery. This company provides the best ratio of guide to guests in the north (the single most important factor influencing the quality of your trip) and sets the highest standards for guides knowledge and natural interpretation.

One week raft trip down the Nahanni River

Nahanni National Park is one of the most spectacular parks in the Northwest Territories. The South Nahanni River, one of North America's finest wild streams, rushes 322 kilometres through the park. At Virginia Falls, you will witness the continents most spectacular undeveloped waterfall, twice the height of Niagara Falls. There are strikingly different landscapes throughout the park, from canyons, to mountains to hotsprings. The area is considered so unique that it was declared the first World Heritage Site by the United Nations.
