Hyak Wilderness Adventures

About Hyak

Since 1980, Hyak Wilderness Adventures has been offering outstanding river expeditions to people from all over the world. The commitment to excellence and the quality of services make us very proud.

Hyak has Western Canada’s largest raft fleet with over 40 self-bailing rafts and the most recognized name in River Rafting within BC. Over 100,000 rafters of all ages have enjoyed our first class trips.

We consider our crew to be our biggest asset; an exceptional group of people who are skilled, professional, and never short of a smile. Hyak employs some of the finest river guides in the world; no one has more experience on the rivers we run.

Safety is the #1 priority when planning our adventures. Hyak’s safety standards exceed all the B.C. government regulations and our guides are all certified and licensed.

Our hands on approach to business means that we won’t lose touch of the important details. We invite you to join us for the fun and excitement of rafting, which have become the HYAK trademark.

Thompson River

Situated in one of the warmest climates in Canada, the Thompson is B.C.’s third largest river. The visually spectacular Black Canyon and the big, powerful rapids are features that only a river of this volume can produce. The Thompson is the ideal one or two day rafting adventure. Highlighted by the lower canyon where the Thompson has 19 rapids, with names like “The Witch’s Cauldron,” “Devil’s Kitchen” and Jaw’s of Death,” this river is sure to awaken all your senses.

The “After-Rafter” Campsite

Our private campsite is located 1 km north of Lytton, overlooking the Thompson River Valley. Services include 40 individual campsites, R.V. hookups, hot showers, laundry facilities, and a nearby convenience store. The Activities Centre includes a volley ball court, horse shoe pit, campfire area and plenty of picnic tables to accommodate you and your group at our Saturday evening BBQ’s. Our “all-you-can-eat” gourmet barbeque includes appetizers, teriyaki chicken, fresh baked salmon, rice pilaf, vegetables, salads and dessert. After an exciting day on the Thompson, our “After-Rafter” and gourmet barbeque combine to make a perfect summer weekend. It’s a great way to make your one day river trip a complete weekend.
