Welcome to Silver Spray Rafting Nelson's Original Whitewater Rafting Company.

It could be said that rivers are the vascular system of the planet. They also represent the journey of life and the cycles of the seasons. The metaphors are as deep as they are numerous. People around the world and throughout history have found deep spiritual enlightenment on the river. It's also simply a perfect way to enjoy a summer day and appreciate the beauty of wondrous mountain landscapes. Whatever it is you seek from a holiday adventure, whether it's the thrill of riding through powerful rapids or the unique serenity of traveling on Nature's oldest highway, you can find it with us.

What's New?

Summer is here! Finally…

It’s time to be getting outside and enjoying the most beautiful part of the year with some whitewater rafting in Nelson BC! The Kootenays this summer are full of life and abundant water, the source of the green richness that fills the soul. The flowers are out and the air is crystal clear and, most importantly for us, the River is high. We’ve been having an extended high water season this year and it’s not ending any time soon – there’s a lot of snow still up in these mountains. In other words it’s a great time to go rafting!

You might find yourself wanting to be in the water in the early summer but the lakes are still too cold for swimming! It’s a perfect time to check out whitewater rafting on the Slocan River. The other good thing this year is that the high water is continuing into the warmest part of the summer so that means great rafting and warmer water than we usually have at these high levels. Come out and help us enjoy the epic rafting season that we’ve all been waiting for!

Did I mention rafting on the Slocan River is an ideal way for the whole family to have fun together? Kids and adults alike always have a great time! Our certified professional guides will ensure your safety and let you in on as much local knowledge as you like. Check out the “Trips” page for all the info you need to decide on your adventure and then give us a call or email to book.
