Wilderness Expeditions in Canada

Whitewater rafting Yukon Territory in Canada makes for some of the best multi-day expeditions in the world. Well known as the land of Jack London and the famous Klondike Gold Rush, the Yukon is rich in history as well as scenery and best of all - more moose than people! Really!

The variety of landscapes and rivers offer different types of expeditions, from canoeing to oar guided rafts. Experience the Yukon Mountain panorama, Arctic Mountain ranges, high Arctic Tundra Rivers and of course- amazing wildlife viewing opportunities when rafting Yukon.

Visiting the Nahanni River is truly a trip of a lifetime. Located in Nahanni National Park, this river has numerous whitewater rapids, several hot springs and unlimited hiking opportunities. Other rivers in the region include the Mountain River, Thelon River, and Horton River, where again you are thrust into a truly different and exciting experience. Take these multi-day expeditions and experience all of the beauty and granduer of the Northwest Territory.

Perhaps the wildest and most visually spectacular rivers in North America, the Alsek and Tatsheshini give you mountains, glaciers and more! Flowing from the inlands of the Yukon Territory to the coastal regions of the Gulf of Alaska, these rivers offer a full range of outdoor experience. Just what you expect from a great Alaska river rafting trip.

The Tatshenshini River flows through the heart of the largest bio-preserve in the world. Wildlife abounds as you travel through tall mountains, vast glaciers and iceburg dotted lakes.

The Alsek is extraordinarily different from the Tatshenshini which is only "one valley over". Glaciers, icebergs, wildlife, canyons and a helicopter portage around Turnback Canyon add to the adventure. The Alsek valley is perhaps the most "Himalayan-like" topography on the continent!

These international trips give you a wilderness treasure you wont forget.
