The whole of the interior of British Columbia river’s empty out into the Pacific Ocean, through the Coastal mountain range, and offer’s an amazing array of paddling adventures and classic kayaking runs.On our BC Road Trip, we head up the Fraser, to the Clearwater, and over the mountains to Whistler, taking in the prime spots and famed rivers. The river selection is vast, pool drop fun on the Checkamus, alpine fun on the Stein, big volume on the Clearwater and Thompson, waves to surf, drops to boof and boulder slaloms to nail, a slice of everything is BC. And of course BC is beautiful, full of pristine wilderness and from your kayak, you’ll get amazing access to nature and the grand surrounds of some of North America’s best white water. |

Group Composition |
|||
| The trip will be led by an experienced Gene17kayaking appointed trip leader. In selecting suitable leaders, we not only look to ensure that they have the relevant qualifications but we also ensure that they have an excellent track record of white water paddling from around the world. Whilst qualifications and experience are essential requirements, we also make sure that our leaders have the right temperament to lead a trip group comprised of individuals who have a range of previous experience and expectations. The leader is a vital contributor to the enjoyment and well-being of the trip members and he or she will be there to deal with any unexpected problems. To that end, we aim to provide a leader who will make the trip both successful and enjoyable throughout.
Our leaders hold current wilderness first aid certificates and have experience of dealing with remote river related medical conditions. We will take a maximum of 6 paddlers on each trip, although the number may well be less than this. With every 3 paddlers we have on the trip, we’ll have a highly experienced Gene17kayaking Teacher/Guide. |

Experience Required |
|||
| BC Road Trip takes place on Class III/IV whitewater. The BC Road Trip is suitable for experienced paddlers who are able to paddle for 3 – 4 hours in a day on Class III+. Generally the rivers are accessible with far road access, but occasionally there may be some exposed terrain. This trip begins on an easier section of whitewater, but will soon reflect conditions expected at the grade. Participants should therefore expect to be in a river environment during peak runoff for sometimes extended periods of time. You are welcome to Contact Us, if you would like to discuss the trip in more detail. |
