$99 for a full day whitewater rafting BC trip down the river that made rafting in the Western Canada famous
In Canada, we celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday close to May 24th, and always turn it into a long weekend holiday. The celebration started more than 150 years ago and it still is going strong today.
The May Long Weekend as it’s commonly known is also considered the beginning of summer. Not very many people actually go out and buy a birthday cake in Queen Victoria’s honour but a lot of Canadians get away for the weekend, kick-back with their favourite beverage, and plan more good things to do once summer comes on hot and sunny.
To help celebrate the arrival of summer, Kumsheen Rafting Resort in Lytton BC, has opened its doors with the best whitewater rafting BC deal of the year - only $99 for a daylong rafting trip through the legendary whitewater rapids of the Devil’s Gorge of the Thompson River.
The regular cost for the trip is $163 but to usher in summer it’s worthwhile having something great to celebrate – just in case the sun isn’t shining that weekend.
The whitewater rafting trip is known as the Legendary Thompson River Full Day trip on the Kumsheen website and brochures. It includes the best whitewater rafting BC on the Thompson River, a delicious luncheon at Nicomen Falls, Kumsheen’s private luncheon location with a spectacular waterfall in the background.
So where is Lytton you ask? In First Nations folklore, it was the center of the universe. In reality, it’s an interesting little community only 3 hours from Vancouver BC. Even if you live in Seattle, it’s less than 5 hours away, and Spokane is an easy 4-hour drive. See, it’s almost located in the center of everywhere.
Rather than just come for a day of whitewater rafting BC and then get back into your vehicle and head home, you’ll want to stay for at least a night or two. Plan to arrive on Friday evening, spend the night in the most unusual lodging you’ve ever experienced – a Teepee. Saturday you enjoy the day on the legendary Thompson River, a soak in our large hot tub, a drink at Gilligan’s poolside beverage bar, a delicious dinner in Kumsheen’s onsite Cutting Board Restaurant. Who knows, there may even be some live evening entertainment for you to enjoy.
After a second night in your home-away-from-home, you get up for a hearty breakfast, perhaps you challenge your partner to a game of giant chess, enjoy 9-holes of disc golf, and finish your weekend with a delicious lunch in the Cutting Board Restaurant.
