My experience is maintained by remaining the most active outfitter guiding on the Nahanni each summer. 2008 will be Nahanni Wilderness Adventures 46th year on the river and my 20th season as an outfitter/guide. My family and our guides take great pride in our record of professionalism, safety, environmental responsibility and satisfied clients. I invite you to join the many people who have chosen us to help fulfill their adventure holiday dreams.
David Hibbard Outfitter/Guide
Our history of river outfitting on the South Nahanni River dates back to 1962 when founder and pioneering outfitter Don Turner began
outfitting and guiding river trips by scow up into the Nahanni's canyons from his family's homestead at Nahanni Butte. Don is the son of
Nahanni legend and author Dick Turner who came to the Nahanni Region in the 1930's. Dick is best known for his two volumes, "Nahanni"
and "Wings of the North" which features the adventures of Dick and many others. In 1964 Don's company became incorporated as
Nahanni Butte Outfitters.
In 1973 Don sold NBO to Greg
and Fay Williams of Nanton, Alberta. Later the William's
sold a branch of NBO, Nahanni Wilderness Adventures to
David and Wendy Hibbard in 1992. David had been
outfitting and guiding for the Williams since
1989.
Since that time David has
become the Nahanni's most active outfitter on the river.
In 2004 David eclipsed his age with Nahanni River trips
by guiding his 47th descent of the Nahanni with a raft
trip from Virginia Falls with son and fellow guide Joel.
As a comparably smaller organization, we have found
people prefer our outfitting services when they discover
closely we focus on their destination and travel
expectations. Our selection of canoe, raft and sea kayak
trips are accessible to people of just about all ages
and abilities.
