Daily Activity Options:

Canyon Rafting Adventure

Head out on the Bulkley River on an epic rafting adventure that will get your heart racing! The river quickly falls into a deep and remote canyon that offers stunning views, with steep granite walls and beautiful views of the valley. You'll pass some class III rapids, stop to see ancient fossil beds and learn the fascinating geology of the area. The highlight of the trip, however, comes at the midway point when the group stops for a gourmet lunch at an outdoor kitchen that seems to materialize in the wilderness out of nowhere. You'll enjoy delicious food in a stunning location. Don't forget to pack your camera for this incredibly scenic river adventure. Great for all ages.

Jet Boat Tour

See the stunning Bulkley Valley on a relaxing boat trip up the river, where you'll have the chance to spot some of the abundant wildlife that live in this pristine part of the world. In the fall, the river flows a beautiful glacial green, but the steep canyon walls and epic valley views are stunning year round. If you enjoy fishing, this is a great way to venture out and catch some wild fish. Lunch is served riverside.

Photography Tour

Do you dream about heading into the wilderness for a photography expedition? Here's your chance to make that dream a reality! Tour the Bulkley Valley with a professional photogrpaher, scouting out some of the most amazing spots to photograph. Lessons on how to shoot different landscapes will be provided throughout the memorable excursion.

Morice Lake Experience

See the largest Chinook salmon spawning spot in northern BC on this adventure to Morice Lake. You'll experience these large and beautiful fish at the outlet of one of the most scenic lakes in the province. Watch thousands of chinook salmon dig redds as deep as 6 feet to spawn. We are often able to spot grizzly bears along the shore in this stunning area as well. And don't forget to look up -- this lake has a prolific population of bald eagles!

Babine Weir Grizzly Watch

A weir is a counting fence set up by the fisheries department to count the number of salmon going through a particular watershed. In this case, the weir is set up across the Babine River to document the salmon in the vital Skeena watershed. On this outing, you'll be able to see 1000s of sockeye salmon spawning in the river. As this is a vital food source for grizzly bears, it is not uncommon to witness these majestic bears fishing in the river.

Trout fishing in Rainbow Alley

Calling all anglers! Both seasoned and beginner anglers will love the experience of fishing for trout in Rainbow Alley. Your guides have everything you could possibly need: waders, wading boots, rods, reels, lines, tippets and flies. All you need is a good attitude and a sense of adventure! Rainbow Alley is northern BC's best trout river and if you've never fly fished before, this is an amazing place to get started. A catch is almost a guarantee. And if that's not enough, the views here are a picturesque as they come.

ADD ON: Heli Glacier Experience (additional cost is $1300-$1800)

Complete your stay with a visit up into one of the local glaciers by helicopter. The chopper will soar over the glacier to give you a good look from above before dropping you off on the back of the mountain for further exploration. Spend 4 hours alpine hiking or mountain biking in a jaw-dropping environment. A lunch on the glacier can also be arranged.
