Reviews of Canadian River Expeditions & Nahanni River Adventures (Travel Agency)

Pretty unprofessional group I must say. Came back to my campsite at the churn creek bridge rec site and found my camp littered with ppl and equipment. No social distancing whatsoever and litter left behind. They are also using 4x4 trucks towing their trailers with rafts and wrecking the road access to the campsite. Seriously doubt they will fix this on their own.

I did the Alsek River Trip with this outfitter in the summer of 2018. It was everything I expected and more. The staff were friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the river, the geology, glaciers, biology and human history of the area. I loved the stories around the campfire at night about running rivers and the local knowledge which were always told with a sense of humor and a connection to their love for the Yukon. The scenery was over the top, really it was...hard to put into words. Every time I thought the views could not get better, we would round a bend in the river and see something else just as spectacular. And this is coming from an Alaskan who has worked in the woods most my career. The helicopter ride over Turnback Canyon was unique to this trip, offering a incredible view of the glacier and the Yukon. The crew's attention to safety in a remote area was also 5 star. I was well fed and well taken care of. I plan on going on at least one more trip with this group.

As a Yukoner I've always wanted to do a trip in the Peel watershed and when the opportunity came up to do the Wind River I jumped at it. I was not disappointed one bit. I was especially impressed with our Guides Dana and Jamie. They were very experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, super organized, energetic and went way beyond what you would expect to make sure everyone was well looked after and safe. Great cooks too!! We enjoyed wounderful food, great company, lots of laughs and the river and scenery were breathtaking. I highly recommend both this company and this river for an experience full of positive memories.

We had an amazing trip in August 2020 with Nahanni River Adventures on the Wind River in the Yukon territories. Because of Covid, most scheduled trips were cancelled (including ours on the Nahanni for July 2020) so when offered this alternative trip with the company, we jumped at the chance and were not disappointed. It was a great group of 10 paddlers led by a tireless crew of 2 guides who delivered delicious meals, stunning scenery, flawless trip organization, and friendly upbeat team leadership despite rain, headwinds, bugs and cloudy skies. The sun finally joined us in the last couple of days. Truly a memorable & heartwarming experience in a challenging year. We will be back for another river adventure with this company soon.

We've had the Tatshenshini/Alsek River Expedition on our bucket lists for a long time and finally made the trip! As a whitewater rafting expedition company owner for decades, I am very impressed with this company's attention to operational efficiency and customer experience details. The quality of meals, camping sites and equipment, attention to safety, pace of the trip, contingency plans for weather and water levels, and the overall customer service is first-class. When considering an Tatshenshini/Alsek Expedition, we highly recommend Nahanni & Canadian River Expeditions!

We enjoyed 12 days of soul-enriching experience on the Nahanni River. Our family of three is grateful to our amazing, multi-talented guides - Nils, Ian and Hans - for their precision, expertise and care. Each of these congenial and capable young men kept us active, safe, entertained and well-fed. In fact, the food they prepared was superb! The grandeur of this remote and magnificent Canadian landscape is unforgettable. We highly recommend the trip run by Nahanni River Adventures to anyone of any level of wilderness skill. You will be richly rewarded. Robert Fife and Naomi Goldenberg (July 22-Aug 12,2019)

I paddled the Wind River with Canadian River Expeditions & Nahanni River Adventures. I am 73 years old and this was the first canoe trip in my life. I had a lot of fun! I felt safe and well taken care of. They met all of my dietary needs and the food was excellent. It was an amazing life experience and I highly recommend this company.

Peter Cartwright

This is an outstanding and remarkable company. I went on their Alsek River trip. The equipment was excellent and guides where even better. The food was outstanding. It was well organized and all my needs (and endless anoying questions) where addressed. I cannot recommend them enough. This is coming from an ex-river guide. Also, this review is unsolicited and completely independent.

My son and I had the wonderful opportunity to share a 12 day Wind River canoe trip with Canadian River Expeditions and I would not hesitate to highly recommend them. They demonstrated excellent focus on safety, ensured that everyone was well looked after, we ate delicious meals and we had loads of fun. Wonderful trip and great people! Thank you again.

I ran into Canadian River Expeditions this summer while on a river in the Yukon territories this. It was one of the worst experiences I have had with an outfitter and I have been around many, with friends working for different ones throughout North America. Canadian River Expeditions and their clients made disparaging remarks to our group, and acted like entitled jerks. They almost made off with some of my paddling gear (dry tops, wet suits) while I was on a portage. Luckily I caught them - This could have ended my trip, and they were not in the least bit apologetic. The behavior and attitude of this organization while in the wilderness was appalling.

Great rafting trip with Canadian River Expeditions / Nahanni River Adventures on 4 rivers in the BC Chilcotin. A wonderful way to see country not all of which is accessible by road. All logistics were well planned and the meals delicious. The guide knew the rivers like the back of his hand and we were able to hike in some remote areas as well. Thanks to all.

We really had the trip of a life time on the Nahanni river. Nahanni Adventures and Canadian River Adventures were fantastic. We chose the last week of the season for the beautiful fall colours, the northern lights and the lack of bugs. We were not disappointed. But, we also had beautiful scenery, an abundance of wild life, amazing food and wonderful hosts and guests. We were a small group with a single raft and two canoes and we could not believe the food that was produced from these crafts. Hot cinnamon buns baked over a campfire, salads galore, steaks, pork tenderloin, thai chicken curry and so on. It was amazing! We will be back. Our next adventure will be the Alsek River and we can hardly wait. This family run company is professional, courteous, and thoughtful.
