Itinerary
Meet your guides in Wells Gray Park and start the day by fitting wetsuits and learning the safety and technique basics. Learn to paddle as a team or opt for a seat where you don’t need to paddle, then board your raft to ride through the Clearwater River’s first rapid. Try out your skills on The Wall and Funnel Chute, technical sections where the whole raft pulls together to avoid underwater hazards. Continue downriver to Hole-in-the-Wall and Bear's Den, where surging high water has created unique features at the water’s edge. Now that you’ve practiced paddling technique, take on the most exciting waves of the trip in a thrilling lineup: experience standing and breaking waves in Hawaii 5-0, Tsunami and Buckaroo, and try taking a turn in the Super Screamer Seat. Stretch your legs on a walk to Candle Creek Falls, where you can slip behind a waterfall and jump into a churning pool. In between the major rapids, cool off in the river, learning to time your breathing to the bottom of the waves. When water levels are high, jump from a 25-foot cliff, then ride through the final wave train at Otter Stretch before arriving at the take out point, where you can change into dry clothes.
