The Soper River is located in the middle of the Meta Incognita Peninsula, in Katannilik Territorial Park, and is designated as a Canadian Heritage River. It offers unique adventure opportunities. The river and valley’s spectacular landscapes wind their way for close to 100 km (62mi), bringing you on a journey that will spark more than memories.

You will raft down the last 60 kilometres (37mi) of the Soper River in our inflatable canoes. Our experienced guides will accompany you, ensuring the safety of the trip. Throughout the trip, you will paddle down sections of white water, rapids and cascades, and sections of flat water, ending your journey in the picturesque hamlet of Kimmirut.

As headwinds often slow travel down in the afternoon, most paddling will be done in the morning. You can spend your afternoons hiking in the valley, basking in the sun with a book, or try your luck at fly fishing. Its rapids, normally Class I, II and III, are easily navigated, the largest rapids can be easily portaged.
