Overview

The Nahanni “Classic” is a two-week canoeing trip, and the perfect opportunity to paddle the highlights of Nahɂą Dehé (the South Nahanni River). Beginning at Gahnîhthah Mįe (Rabbitkettle Lake), home of the rare “Tufa Mounds”, we will descend Nahɂą Dehé and enjoy fun rapids, and incredible scenery. We will stop at Náįlįcho (Virginia Falls), towering at twice the height of Niagara Falls, along with many more awe-inspiring locations.
Each night we camp by the river's edge and share an evening campfire with our companions, while watching the midnight sun play on the canyon walls. There is time for off-river hikes up tributary canyons or to breathtaking lookouts thorughout the trip. There will be time at the beginning of the trip to practice and hone our whitewater paddling skills in calmer yet swift moving water before journeying through the gorgeous canyon sections further downstream.
