The raft slips from the riverbank and the Nahatlatch immediately demands attention — a steady pulse of swells and boiling waves that push the raft forward. Around you the Fraser Canyon narrows into steep rock and fir, the current carving a loud channel through the valley. REO’s small paddle rafts (4–8 people) feel responsive beneath your feet; every stroke matters.

Mind the footwear
Wear secure water shoes or neoprene booties; loose sandals can be lost during a swim and cold feet make long days miserable.
Layer for changing temps
Bring a light insulating layer under the wetsuit and a dry top for after the trip — river spray and canyon winds can drop temperatures quickly.
Know the restrictions
Minimum age is 9 and there are weight limits; disclose medical or mobility issues in advance to ensure proper boat placement and safety.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof case or leave devices at the resort; the river’s whitewater can easily soak pockets and open bags.
Secure water shoes or neoprene booties
Keeps toes protected and stays on during swims or scrambling on rocky shores.
