Family Floats
Kitimat River - Class 2
Fun for the whole family. This river hosts a myriad of Pacific Salmon runs, which in turn attract the Grizzly Bears and Bald Eagles. They aren't the only wildlife though! With wolf, moose, wolverine, and lynx out there your experience is bound to be a great one. The river has a few small riffles; just enough to keep the family entertained! All specialized equipment, transportation to and from the river, expert and certified guides, snacks, and permits are included. This is a half day trip you can't afford to miss out on.
Dates:
- Any day between June 5th, 2010 and September 19th, 2010. Please call as we book these trips on an "as requested" basis.

How to Book
Booking a trip with Skeena Valley Expeditions is easy. We don't do website bookings as we are still small enough to be able to talk with all our guests so we can make sure they get on the trip that is right for them and be sure they are prepared adequately for their trip.
Simply call our office toll free at (866) 918-RAFT or visit us at our new office location at the George Little house a minimum of 2 days in advance and we will get you all set up. A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking.
It is important, however, that you call us early. We can build much better trips with some advance notice so please call as soon as you know that you want to go rafting. Our absolute minimum pre-booking time is 2 days however most people book 1 to 2 weeks in advance to ensure there is a seat available for them. For more information on our booking policies please see the Policies page.
