The South Nahanni River is a Canadian Icon. Flowing through its namesake Nahanni National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the river plunges almost 100 meters over Majestic Virginia Falls before carving its way through 4 incredible canyons filled to the brim with adventure. Towering mountains surround you and canyon walls soar as you float through this incredible untouched landscape for 11 days. Enjoy the ride relaxing in a guided raft, meaning there is no experience necessary and your whole family (kids included!) are welcome to join.
The Nahanni River and Nahanni National Park are Canadian Icons. Originally Created by Pierre Elliot Truedau in 1972, NNP and its sister park Nááts’įhch’oh now protect 35 000 km² of pure, pristine mountain wilderness, with the Nahanni River as its centerpiece. The Nahanni River flows through traditional Dene Territory of the Dehcho and Sahtu people, and we are grateful for their leadership in protecting this vast wilderness.
Paddlers from all over the world consider this river to be their mecca. It travels 375km through the park as it descends to the Liard River that connects to the Mackenzie River at Fort Simpson. Fort Simpson is the leaping-off point for the floatplane flight into NahʔĄ Dehé.
