Fun Facts:

Myth: Rafting is dangerous
Busted:
While there is inherent risk in doing anything in a wilderness settings, there is nowhere on Earth with a safer rafting industry than here in B.C. Members of the BCROA adhere to industry leading standards that surpass government regulations. Ask any guide: they’re more concerned about their safety driving in city traffic than rafting on the river.

Myth: Rafting is expensive
Busted:
There aren’t many guided outdoor activities that are as affordable as rafting – trips start at $99 for a half day. And the value is unmatched: excellent food, gear included, professional guides, shuttles and sometimes free photos from your adventure. Even multi-day expeditions are good value when you include the costs of charter flights and how much you save by not being able to spend a cent for two weeks.

Rick Mercer Report comes to Raft
& Snorkel with the Salmon

We had a great opportunity to host the Rick Mercer Report on our tour this past August. To view the official show from this visit please view http://youtu.be/_PX-H4Uid3w

We also had some Rick Mercer groupies following us around on the river and at the end of the day. You can see some of their video at http://youtu.be/OejqBMps7Dw and http://youtu.be/scVrOHmwyYI

Whitewater Season

With the La Nina forecasted again for this winter we expect a big snowpack – which will mean another excellent whitewater season for 2012. We will be offering tours again on the Puntledge River for Paddlefest weekend and Nimpkish tours from May to the end of July! Don’t forget – even if it is a cool spring we will have amazing water levels!
