FAMILY RAFTING
Catch a Wave
- 3 Hours
Finally a trip that
children as young as 7 can enjoy. “Catch A Wave”
is so much more than just a raft trip. In many ways it can
be a life changing experience not just for kids, but for mom,
dad, and all family members. We've seen shy, reserved children
come out of their shell with newly-gained confidence .
Gone are electronic
gadgets, chores, and schedules. Our “Catch A Wave”
trip makes everyone a part of a team, all working together
to achieve a common goal. We've been told time and time again
from parents that this trip was one of the most rewarding
experiences their kids have ever had.
Our safety conscious
and informative guides will do their utmost to teach a little
bit about the natural history and geology of the area as well
as find time to go for a hike to a breathtaking waterfall
or explore some old growth forest.
IWE has strong safety
policies regarding all trips. We have a minimum of two guides
on every “Catch A Wave” even with as few as four
guests. We stay away from the big rapids of the Clearwater
River and operate the “Catch A Wave” trip on a section
of river that is class two only. We start in late July when
the levels have receded and the water and air temperatures
have warmed up. All participants are outfitted with a 3mm
wetsuit for warmth as well as a fleece pullover, splash jacket,
lifejacket, and helmet.
WHITEWATER RAFTING
Ready-Set-Go
- 4 Hours
This “get in and rip”
trip covers some of the best whitewater rafting in BC. Our
new “Ready-Set- Go” gives you 14 km of Clearwater River that
definitely delivers the “wow factor”.
The trip starts at Granite
Canyon on gentle class 2 whitewater. Drift by towering canyons
and cliff s of ancient lava. The middle canyon is Mother Nature’s
natural roller coaster. At the halfway mark of the trip we
postage an unrunable section of river. All the boats and equipment
are taken around by trailer but you have the opportunity for
an easy 15 minute hike along the canyon to see why we portage.
This is a seldom seen, stunningly beautiful, 500 meter section
called Granite Canyon. Then, we meet up with the boats for
the trip down the lower canyon. Packed with rapids like “The
Wall”, “Tsunami” and “Buckaroo” it is the perfect ending to
your 4 hour adventure. Near the bottom of the canyon, you
can try body surfing in a class 2 rapid.

Do You Believe in
Magic - 5
Days, 4 Nights
Wells Gray Park is a
magical place, the 3rd largest
wilderness park in BC, and is the backdrop for our award winning
“Do You Believe In Magic” 5 day trip.
This trip offers a rare
combination of canoeing, hiking, and whitewater rafting. The
canoeing portion of the trip starts in the Cariboo Mountains
on the west end of Mahood Lake
in canoes loaded up with enough supplies and gear for the
next three days. Beautiful beaches and, old growth forest
present themselves on this first day of paddling. Mahood Lake
is known for its warmer waters during the summer months so
swimming can be enjoyed throughout the day. Set up camp at
the end of the day on a sandy beach and see how amazing food
can taste when cooked over an open fire.
On the morning of day
three we leave the canoes behind and hike along the Mahood
River. What lies ahead is the immense chunk of wilderness
called Wells Gray Park. Late in the afternoon we arrive at
the confluence of the Mahood and Clearwater River. The most
adventurous part of the trip is about to begin.
For the next two days
are a combination of world class whitewater combined with
mind blowing hikes.
Do You Believe In Magic
is a unique experience, unmatched in British Columbia with
natural splendor, sensational hikes and rip
roaring whitewater rafting.
