Nahatlatch River Rafting - 24 Amazing Rapids

What makes this tour unique it that there are no crowds and we are not in bear stands. Viewing is from the boat only. Most often we are the only boat out there. Additionally, we do not book more than 8 guests on this adventure to ensure unobstructed views and a quiet setting for bears. 

Upon departure, we travel 2 hours north of Campbell River into the heart of bear country through vast fjords with whimsical waterfalls for you to enjoy while your guide keeps a keen eye out for intertidal Black bears! Shortly thereafter, we head to the estuaries in search of Grizzly bears. 

This is a spring bear tour and only books May & June when bears are emerging from hibernation and their spring foraging habits are predictable. They are not feeding on salmon this time of year.

Note: Departure times vary due to tides. If your departure time changes we will contact you prior to the trip. Please check for our messages the day before, or contact us if you are going out of service.

Bear Adventure in Spring

REO Rafting Resort offers a Fraser River rafting adventure for all ages with gentle rapids and great scenery. Features include several bouncy wave trains, spinning whirlpools and a hot canyon climate (30-35 C in the summer). You can cool off with a "cold shower" when your guide takes you underneath the pouring waterfall. Paddling is optional, if you want you can just sit back and enjoy the views of the Fraser Canyon's steep walls and surrounding forest. Wildlife you may see are eagles, osprey, black bear, marmots and river otters. As an added bonus you can enjoy floating in the warm Fraser River - just jump in and hold on to a rope tethered to the raft as it carries you down stream!
