2-Day Elaho Rafting Expedition

The 2-Day is just that, 2 days. On Day 1 we’ll gather at our rafting base at 1:00 PM. You’ll camp with us riverside that evening. On Day 2 we’ll have you back to our base by 1:00 PM.

We accommodate all skill levels on our 2 day Elaho Expedition, from first-time beginners to frequent rafters. From thirteen to mid-eighties, people of all ages participate on the 2 day Elaho Expedition. If you have a keen sense of adventure then you likely have all the skills necessary to enjoy yourself. If you have any doubts, please contact us to discuss any concerns.

To raft the 2-Day you must be a minimum of 13 years old and at least 90 lbs (40 kg). You do not need any previous experience to raft and enjoy the Elaho.

On our 2 day Elaho expedition, we set a high standard when it comes to meal planning and preparation to deliver a multi-course gourmet dinner after an exhilarating rafting journey and a scrumptious breakfast the next morning. If you have special dietary requirements or allergies, just let us know and we will make sure to plan accordingly.

All our expeditions are camping adventures. On the 2 day Elaho Expedition, camping gear is not provided. We suggest you bring a tent, sleeping mattress and sleeping bag. If you don’t have your own, we have camping gear available for rental based on availability.

We setup a toilet and sanitation station in a very discreet and private location, well away from the camp and with a stunning view.

On the 2 day Elaho Expedition we spend the majority of our time on the river both on the first and second day. However, there is some time for short walks, photography and relaxing from camp.

On the 2 day Elaho Expedition wildlife sightings vary along with the time of year. Indigenous species in the area include black bear, eagle, deer, beaver, seal and more. Each expedition abides with wildlife and “bear aware” practices, and is equipped with bear bangers, however bears of the area are not habituated and don’t associate us with food.

The mosquito population on the 2 day Elaho expedition varies according to temperature, rainfall, and wind. We generally see few pesky creatures; however, we may be unable to avoid them, and bug repellent is recommended at times.

Our 2 day Elaho Expedition takes place in June, July and August, which are generally the warmest times of the year, so be prepared for the best weather the region has to offer. However, there’s no guarantee against overcast weather or rain. The mountain weather environment is best described as highly variable.

When you reserve your seat on the tour, we send you a confirmation message which contains a detailed packing list. But in short, all you need to provide is your camping and personal gear, alcoholic beverages depending on your personal preferences, and we provide the rest: river gear, safety gear, food and non-alcoholic beverages, kitchen and sanitation equipment.

Yes, alcohol is allowed, in moderation, for the evening portion of this trip. If bringing beer, please buy cans. If bringing hard alcohol or wine, please present any glass bottles to your guide to store safely for the rafting portion of the trip.

We recommend that you consider purchasing trip cancellation, medical and evacuation insurance, especially if travelling from outside of Canada.
