Playtime at our Resort

As Western Canada’s top river company and river rafting pioneer, Kumsheen’s four decades of experience is your guarantee of a quality and professional experience.

Bernie Fandrich pioneered whitewater rafting BC on the Thompson River in 1973.  Kumsheen remains under the ownership and operation of the Fandrich family, so you benefit from four decades of amassed experience that is a family trademark.

Resort

The Kumsheen Resort, situated in the spectacular White Canyon a few kilometers from Lytton BC, is perched on our private 15-acre flat above the Thompson River. The Kumsheen Resort is unique in the rafting industry and allows guests to enjoy some of the finest whitewater rafting BC, then return to a luxury base and enjoy our accommodation, services and amenities.

From weddings to whitewater - we do it all.

Beautifully landscaped with flower gardens, a cascading waterfall, lots of cool, green grass, and our on-site herb and vegetable gardens, most of the rafting centre overlooks White Canyon, a dramatic, rugged canyon of white spires, hoodoos and rock formations.  The snow-covered peaks of the Coast Mountains can be seen in the distance – this is one of British Columbia’s beautiful and scenic areas located just a few hours from Vancouver, Whistler BC, Kelowna, Vancouver Island and Seattle.

Kumsheen offers a one of a kind rafting getaway unmatched in BC and Canada.

July and August have average daily highs of 28 °C, with temperatures sometimes climbing to 40 °C.
