Tutshi River

*Not offered in 2021*

One of the best whitewater day trip in the world!

You will see some incredible scenery and maybe even surprise some wildlife but in the end most of what you will remember is the most incredible whitewater.

The Tutshi is a small, technical river located on the scenic Skagway Road. The trip starts with a series of small lakes leading to the headwaters of the river. The gentle river quickly disappears, as does the horizon line and you enter the heart of the canyon. The Tutshi canyon is fast, generally grade III, with a grade IV drop known as the Nozzle, which we will scout. Below the canyon we will paddle a section known as “The Drops”, which is a series of grade IV and V rapids, with flat pools at the bottom.

The Tutshi is one exciting ride, but it is not for everybody. It is hard to stop in the canyon, and “The Drops” are steep. There will be an option to walk all “The Drops” if you feel uncomfortable rafting them.

We provide wet suits, wet suit booties, helmets, paddling jackets and a lifejacket. Make sure to bring a snack or lunch.
