The route runs along the Peace River out of Arcadia, with airboat transit taking you miles upriver to reach premium, newly scouted dig sites.

THE ROUTE

Premium Dig Sites, Limited Groups

These are one-day premium digs with limited seating each time; the operator concentrates outings on specially scouted sites that aren’t part of regular runs.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should think twice.

1
Active FamiliesA one-day, all-ages format makes this a good fit for families wanting a compact, hands-on outdoor activity together; note that seating is limited per outing.
2
Hobby Hunters & EnthusiastsEnthusiasts who relish focused search time at scouted premium sites will appreciate the concentrated six-hour schedule and specialized sites.
3
Day‑trippers and Short‑Notice AdventurersBecause these are one-day premium digs, they suit travelers looking for a single, intensive field experience rather than a multi-day expedition.
4
Large GroupsNot ideal for very large groups — outings are advertised with limited seats, so group organizers should plan for multiple bookings or contact the operator.
