River Drifting

Sign up for a river drift or eco-tour. It's a magical combination of phenomenal scenery, a chance to view wildlife and learn about the Valley's unique ecosystem from a professional biologist. Drift peacefully on either the Bella Coola or Atnarko River, enjoy spotting eagles, waterfowl, kingfishers, heron and songbirds that inhabit this lush temperate rainforest. There are a variety of small mammals such as otter and mink as well as deer that may be seen along the shoreline. These river trips, which are ideal for family and people of all ages, are perfect for bear watching. You may see black bear in summer and fall, and when the salmon spawn in late August and early fall, grizzlies arrive to feast on the fish. You can even snorkel with the salmon.
