NWT Boating Trips

There are several options for NWT boating trips when in the area.

Within the Northwest Territories’ Nahanni National Park, there’s the Nahanni River and the South Nahanni River for excellent and diverse NWT boating trips. Nahanni River is legendary when it comes to NWT boating trips. It is surrounded by picturesque mountain landscapes, and runs through deep river canyons, and hot springs. NWT boating trips here will flow through some of Canada’s most awe-inspiring geological structures. It is so beautiful and precious that it’s been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The South Nahanni River, on the other hand, is one of the best wild river rides in the continent. NWT boating trips here rush for about 322 kilometers, making it truly one of the most truly exhilarating adventures anyone can take.

The Nahanni River continues to flow through its fourth canyon, into Virginia Falls’ downriver, further pushing the boaters with powerful gushes of water.

NWT boating trips in the Nahanni River area start at Fort Simpson.

Burnside River is another option for NWT boating trips. This can be one of the most fulfilling NWT boating trips when it comes to seeing wildlife amidst lush landscapes. When on NWT boating trips in June, there is a big chance of catching the herd migration of the Bathurst Caribou. Aside from this, you may also see some raptors, foxes, muskoxes and wolves. The waters of the Burnside River vary from Class I to Class II whitewater. Trips go through a spectacular tundra landscape.
