OUR SIGNATURE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE:
Spend 5 days and 4 nights in the remote pristine wilderness along the Athabasca River. This one of a kind wilderness adventure begins near the town of Athabasca when you board one of our Jet drive river boats to embark on an exciting 5 to 6 hour cruise down the majestic Athabasca River en route to our back-country lodge. This magnificent river cuts through hundreds of miles of unspoiled wilderness and breathtaking scenery and boasts an incredible range of large and small wildlife as well as countless species of waterfowl and birds of prey, providing endless photographic opportunities. Walk among the ruins of long forgotten historical places. Cast a line into one of the many, seldom fished tributaries for record sized Walleye and Northern Pike. Take a hike to witness the power of the remote and awe-inspiring Grand Rapids, located just a few miles below the lodge. Enjoy the evenings reconnecting with friends around a roaring campfire. Spend quiet times rekindling relationships in a cozy log cabin or simply find a space all your own. Individualized Packages may include:
Jet boat transportation from Poachers Landing to GRWA lodge and return, (over 10 hrs of cruising) A helicopter sightseeing tour with a set-down and guided hike of the historically significant Grand Rapids, 3 nights log cabin accommodations, home cooked meals, historical interpretive walk, nature walk through old growth forest or fossil dig, one evening or morning fishing trip to the House River.

This video really captures how large this set of class VI rapids on the Athabasca River truly are. (and this is just the West channel) Watch closely about a 3rd of the way into the video of the person walking towards the rapids (bottom right of your screen) Then again at about 1/2 way through of the people sitting on the large flat boulder near the top of the rapids. This site is home to thousands of massive spheroid boulders called Concretions. This is one of the most unique places I have ever seen in Canada, and a walk among these incredible natural wonders should be on every adventurers bucket list!
