Canoe Trips

Home » Canoe Trips

Exploring Canada’s waterways in a canoe is one of the most unique and meaningful ways to experience the outdoors.

In fact, it’s an iconic Canadian activity!

Our canoeing expeditions are designed as much as a school as a typical guided trip. In welcoming full participation from our clients, our intention is that paddlers will emerge from our multi-day trips fully prepared, knowledgeable, and capable of leading their own personal river-canoeing expeditions.

Why Choose a Guided Canoeing Trip instead of Exploring On Your Own?

  • Treat yourself to slow down and take it all in. There is great freedom and value in having someone else be responsible and constantly vigilant about what may await around every corner!  Joining a guided trip allows you more space and energy to fully participate in your trip, enjoy the people you’re with and truly take in every breathtaking moment of your adventure.
  • Relax and know that the meal planning and preparation is being taken care of. Our guided expeditions include all meals. After a long day of paddling, it can be a truly marvelous thing to sit by the river and relax while dinner is being prepared for you.
  • For the majority of people, the river environment is the largest surprise on a canoeing trip. Our certified guides will ensure that everyone is comfortable with the environment and learn necessary skills to confidently navigate the river.
  • Play more!  Stop and surf the fun waves and play with river features a bit more than you might on your own self-guided trip. It is  easier to truly play knowing that that you have skilled guides as back-up to rescue you in the event that you dump.
  • Canoeing can be tricky sport to learn, and each river has many new things to teach us. Our guides are great teachers that are happy to pass on canoeing knowledge so you can improve your skills. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions or ask to spend half a day in a boat with them!
  • Thinking about buying your own outfitted whitewater canoe? Want to try out that Canyon, Dagger or Prospectueur on a trip before you buy your own? Rent one of our high quality boats for your scheduled excursion!
  • We are here to support you through our partnership with Western Canoe and Kayak. Our guided expeditions come with a 15% savings for accessories in the store to help you prepare for your trip.

Join Us to Explore the North

Since 2014, Elements Adventure Company is pioneering guided river canoe trips in Northern British Columbia – a vast wilderness region with hulking mountain ranges of the Coast, Cassiar, and Northern Rocky Mountains – and countless clear, fast, and continuous  rivers.  These dramatic, remote landscapes provide us with the solitude, natural beauty, and adventure that we are delighted to share with you.  We invite those people with a deep respect for our planet and a spark for adventure, to partner with us to explore these special places.

Our excellent canoeing school can help you build any prerequisite skills for our Northern paddling adventures, but what’s most important is to visit these wild places with the right people.

We choose our guides for their diverse backgrounds, extensive experience in river guiding and teaching, and their values – which infuse these journeys with rich cultural insights and a spirit of adventure. They embody qualities of authenticity, openness, gentleness, and effective communication, ensuring a safe and fulfilling experience for all participants.

Are you interested to join us? We’d love to hear from you! Contact us here to chat.
