SCHOOL TRIPSSince 1980, Hyak has hosted dozens of schools for their rafting adventures. Our 1 and 2 day school packages are a safe and exciting way to bond with your school friends. Build your own package to best suit your needs to include 1 or 2 days of rafting, meals and camping. We can also arrange bus transportation to and from your school.
SAFETY IS #1Safety is the #1 priority when planning our adventures. Hyak operates to the highest degree of safety standards. We employ the finest river guides in the world, all licensed and certified. Hyak is a member of the BC River Outfitter's Association. This combination gives us the most experience in safety and knowledge on the rivers we run. All participants are required to wear helmets and lifejackets as well as undergo a 30 minute safety briefing. Wetsuits are supplied at no charge. On the Chilliwack River and the Upper Thompson River, Hyak’s paddle rafts are equipped with a rowing frame which allows the guide ultimate control while the students paddle and participate by helping to maneuver the raft down the river. *Safety kayakers accompany all trips on the Chilliwack River. On the Canyon section of the Lower Thompson River, we utilize our Power Rafts. These rafts are larger and more stable allowing the guide control of the raft with the power and security of an outboard motor. Our Power Rafts are the ultimate in safety while still allowing for the fun and exciting adventures of rafting!
