Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Paddle the Columbia River system

The trip explores stretches of the Columbia River system around Revelstoke, offering long open-water canoe days and quiet river corridors to traverse and observe the region’s backcountry character.

THE CAMP

Backcountry nights by the fire

Evenings center on camping with campfires and stargazing at riverside campsites, giving the trip its essential backcountry rhythm of days on the water and nights under the stars.

THE SERVICE

Fully catered, guided logistics

The operator provides a fully catered service and conducts a pre-trip briefing so the experience removes menu planning from your checklist and focuses on paddling and camp comforts.

What the day feels like

What the four-day trip feels like

Over 96 hours you move between long paddle days and pitched-camp evenings: mornings and afternoons on the water, evenings around a fire beneath wide skies. The itinerary is flexible — tailor the pace to relax or to push your paddling endurance — while guides handle the logistics so you can focus on the river and the night sky.
