Nahanni Getaway
The ‘Getaway’ is
a perfect quick escape into Nahanni country. You’ll
see the most spectacular parts of the Nahanni: Virginia
Falls, Hell’s Gate, Pulpit Rock and the spectacular
canyons of the lower river.
 View interactive map below
for route details.
Starting with
a float plane flight, landing just above Virginia Falls,
we’ll begin our paddling with the whitewater of
Fourth Canyon. Paddlers
should be confident in class 1 and 2 whitewater prior
to the trip, as the Getaway gives little time for instruction
and coaching prior to being immersed in the fun of the
whitewater.
We’ll camp by
the river’s
edge, and savour delicious trail meals. We’ll
relax by the fire in the evening, watching the midnight
sun play on the mountains and canyon walls. Although
this trip is a quicker one, we will have time for
a layover day to hike up a tributary stream or scramble
to spectacular lookouts. Designed for those with
time constraints, this trip allows the intermediate
paddler to experience the magic of the Nahanni.
