Premium Whistler experience

White Water Kayaking

Paddle the Sea to Sky region’s moving water with a qualified guide and a river plan matched carefully to ability and conditions.

The experience

See the Sea to Sky from the water.

Paddle the Sea to Sky region’s moving water with a qualified guide and a river plan matched carefully to ability and conditions.

Explore the Sea to Sky region from river level on a privately arranged white-water kayaking day. The route, equipment and guide are selected around the group’s paddling background, current water levels and the conditions on the day.

White-water kayaking is a technical activity rather than a casual rental. Introductory instruction may begin on protected water before progressing to moving current, while experienced paddlers can discuss more advanced river options with a qualified local guide.
