Nahanni River - Canada (Map)

The South Nahanni provides an exceptional wilderness river experience in Canada. Identified as a world-class river, it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Site because of its natural beauty and significance to mankind's heritage. It has also been included as a Canadian Heritage River for its value to all Canadians as a natural and recreational wonder.

Our Nahanni rafting trips begin at impressive Virgina Falls (twice the height of Niagara Falls) and terminates at Nahanni Butte, a distance of 240 km (150 miles). An elevation drop of 396 m (1,300 ft) creates sections of exciting fast water, negotiated safely by our licensed and experienced river guides. The river offers excellent opportunities for photograhy enthusiasts as we drift through a series of canyons, some with walls towering 1200 m (3,800 ft).

We offer an 8 or 12 day raft trip. The 12 day trip offers a slower pace and more opporunities to spend layover days exploring surrounding features and day hiking to incredible lookout elevations.

The Nahanni has long been considered the wilderness river trip to do in Canada.
