This Summer Explore the Columbia River
Let our guides teach you the basics of canoeing and show you our favourite outdoor spots the Columbia River, British Columbia.
The Columbia River (1,243 miles/2,000km) is the largest river in North America.
It’s source is in the glaciers of the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and it drains into the Pacific Ocean in Oregon, United States.
Along the river, you will find the picture-postcard city of Revelstoke, BC. That is where your guided canoe tour will begin.
In your tour, the scenic mountain views are guaranteed. You might even capture the glimpse of some of our local wildlife, such as brown and black bears, and birds, such as golden eagles.
On a hot summer’s day, we can stop at a beach and you can cool off in the ice cold glacial water of the Columbia.
