With nearly 50 years of experience rafting the Clearwater River in Wells Gray Park, Interior Whitewater proudly offers an unparalleled raft adventure.
This "get in and rip" trip delivers some of the best whitewater rafting in BC. Our new "Ready-Set-Go" route covers 14 km of the Clearwater River, guaranteed to impress.
Wells Gray Park is a vast, untouched wilderness area exceeding 540,000 hectares, recognized for its unique volcanic features and under consideration for UNESCO World Heritage Status.
The Clearwater River itself is a spectacle, serving as the drainage basin for the entire region. As described by Richard C. Bocking in "The Mighty River," it's one of the most dynamic tributaries of the Fraser River system, boasting an exceptional concentration of waterfalls, rapids, and chutes – likely the most in BC.

Fun, safe whitewater rafting experience
sarahfF9560KQ, October 2026
Our trip was on the last day of the season. The guides were conscientious, friendly, experienced and great fun. We never felt unsafe and loved the rock jumps and swims as much as staying on the raft.

Great rafting & swim
nickgC9975UM, September 2026
Big thanks to Noah, Eli, and LJ for an amazing rafting trip yesterday. Enjoyed the initial walk where we saw salmon fishing, the rafting itself was great fun, with particular highlight being the cliff jump at the end and the opportunity to swim a class two rapid. All 3 of them made the experience extra fun, would highly recommend

So Fun
Natashia_H, September 2026
Guides are great. Everything is really chill but the rapids are fun. Only thing to note is you do trek through the forest around a Class 5 rapid so good footwear is a must. I would do this again and recommend to anyone!

A fantastic experience
Claudia_G, August 2026
Our guides Fisher and LJ were simply the best! From the short hike to the Class V rapids, which were impassable for us beginners, with a photo shoot, to the very precise explanation of what needs to be done when and how, and what the commands are, to the adventurous whitewater trip on the Clearwater River itself, it was simply a wonderful experience. Since two people in the group around us had quite a bit of trouble with it, I would note that the hike in particular is not for people who are not reasonably sure-footed and good on their feet. It is a narrow mountain path along the cliffs by the river. You don't necessarily have to be free from vertigo, but a little experience and physical fitness are definitely an advantage. Since we caught a not perfectly sunny day with temperatures below 20° C, we were given long-legged, sleeveless wetsuits and water-repellent jackets in addition to the helmets and life jackets. These kept the spray and the cold of the river out well, and since you are physically very active while paddling, we were never cold. Simply a great experience!!!

A highlight of our holiday – absolutely brilliant!
Lolly127, August 2026
Our family had been really looking forward to this adventure during our holiday, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! From start to finish, it was an amazing experience.
Our guide, Noah, was fantastic, incredibly experienced, friendly and fun, and he honestly made the whole experience 100 times better. The rapids were thrilling, and one of the highlights had to be jumping into the river and being propelled along as “human rafts”!
We can’t thank Noah and the whole team enough for making the experience so memorable. It was without doubt one of the real highlights of our holiday and something we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommended!
