Itinerary at a Glance
- Our Chilko-Taseko heli-rafting adventure begins in Vancouver with an incredible scenic flight over the mountains and glaciers to Chilko Lake
- Meet our guides, and spend the afternoon and evening at Chilko Lake Lodge
- Head downstream and descend through Lava Canyon and challenge the longest, continuous stretch of whitewater on the continent
- Heart stopping hydraulics and towering, standing waves cascade for more than 18 miles through deep and narrow lava gorges, making for some non-stop excitement
