A family’s
first expedition.
Fly into the Coast Mountains and spend time on the ground. Climb real granite together, follow a river through the forest and settle into a camp your family helps make. Children and parents take part side by side, with three comfortable nights at one valley base and room to enjoy what happens between the bigger moments.

Chapter I / Into the mountains
The Whole Land
Begin in the air, where mountains and river valleys open out below. Then land and spend time on the ground with your guide. Take a short walk, find a place to sit and look across the country you have just flown over. The first view has become somewhere you can stay a while.
Chapter II / Hands on
The Rock
Find a foothold. Try the next move. On real granite, children and parents climb with specialist guides managing the ropes. There is room for different heights, second attempts and a pause when needed. When an adult takes a turn, the next foothold may be spotted from below. Afterwards, slow down for a short walk through the forest.
Chapter III / Forest to river
The Current
Walk through the forest to the river, helping match the map to the ground along the way. At the water, the rafting team and equipment are ready. After the briefing, paddle together and follow the guide’s calls. Quiet reaches give way to a splash. The river carries the journey towards a camp where you can settle in.
On foot to the river. By water to camp.
Chapter IV / At camp
The First Camp
Step ashore, change into dry clothes and make yourself comfortable. Food is ready when you are. Help put up a shelter, find a place beneath it and stay for a while. The afternoon leaves room to look around, draw, talk or do very little. This is the camp you have travelled to together. Your room back in the valley is waiting.
Chapter V / Beyond daylight
After Dark
Return to a small stretch of forest that is beginning to feel familiar. As the light changes, its shapes and sounds change too. Take a short walk with your guide, using headlamps when they are needed. Then come back for something warm and another comfortable night.
The Stay &
Food
One base. Room to settle.
Stay in the same comfortable valley base for three nights, with private family accommodation, a bathroom reserved for each family, hot showers and space to dry the day’s gear. Meals bring everyone back together. Between encounters, there is time to rest and enjoy the place. All three nights are spent indoors.
Why Orange Flint
Fun comes first
A mountain landing, a first climb and a splash over the side give parents and children something worth doing together. There is room to try again, take a pause and enjoy each encounter in your own way.
The quiet layer
One journey lead stays with the families while specialists handle the technical activities. Equipment, meals and transitions are coordinated in the background.
Hospitality moves with you
Proper rooms anchor the journey. At camp, dry clothes, warm food and time to settle make the finish part of the experience, not a moment to rush through.
Access with a reason
The aircraft gives you time on mountain ground. The river carries you to camp. Each way in is chosen for what it allows your family to experience.
Safety
Specialist operators lead the flight, mountain-ground, climbing and rafting experiences. Parents remain with their children, and guides retain all route and safety decisions. Participation and equipment are matched to each family. Weather and access may change the sequence; alternatives are agreed before booking.
What to know before you go
- Who it’s for
- Families with children roughly 7–12 who want to take part together. Parents remain with their children throughout. Activity age, size and participation requirements apply separately.

- Accommodation
- Private family accommodation at one valley base. The property, beds, bathroom arrangements and meals are confirmed in your proposal. A full-property buyout is not implied unless specifically agreed.
- Safety & equipment
- Specialists provide activity briefings and check equipment fit. Aircraft seating, guide arrangements, participation requirements and weather alternatives are discussed before booking. The whole group may not fly in one aircraft or one wave.
- Pricing
- Private departures · Family pricing on request. Your proposal confirms the total for your family, minimum departure commitment, inclusions, field-record arrangements and booking terms.
