We offer day tours by float planes that are sure to be the experience of a lifetime – flying into the spectacular wilderness over Canada's deepest canyons that make up the Nahanni National Park Reserve. You will see why this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now six times larger, the recent expansion makes this the third largest park in Canada. Approximately 500 km west of Yellowknife, the park protects the Mackenzie Mountain Range. Chuck Strahl, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, explains, "The expansion of the reserve will ensure that Nahanni can continue to be revered as a place shrouded in mystery, spirituality and healing." 'Nahanni' is an indigenous Dene word and can be translated as 'spirit'. Untamed rivers and jagged mountain peaks like Vampire Peaks and the Cirque of the Unclimbables share their wild secret with hot springs, tufa rock and the incredible Virginia Falls; where you will find breathtaking pristine nature, with rapids and waves stretching for eight kilometers then returning to their voyage of the South Nahanni River, truly the centrepiece of the park. Four majestic canyons line this spectacular whitewater river.
