If you fancy adding a splash of adventure to your time in Wells Gray, rafting on the Clearwater River is a brilliant option. You’ll float beneath towering volcanic canyon walls, with classic British Columbia scenery all around, and the trips here are designed to suit different comfort levels, from family-friendly fun to a proper whitewater buzz.

Catch-a-Wave, Family Friendly Rafting is the gentler choice and a great introduction to rafting. You’ll ride the river’s milder Class I and II rapids, with plenty of time to take in the views as you drift through the canyon landscape. The trip also includes a stop to explore an island, plus a riverside snack and a few games, so it’s as much about enjoying the setting as it is about the rafting.

If you’d like something a bit more full-on, Ready-Set-Go! Whitewater Rafting steps things up with a longer stretch of continuous rapids. Expect a proper drenching as you tackle world-class Class II to IV whitewater, then break things up with a short hike and portage to see “The Kettle”, an impressive (and unnavigable) Class VI rapid where you can really feel the power of the river.

Both options are guided, equipment is provided where needed, and it’s a really fun way to experience Wells Gray from a different angle.
