Proud to be in our 24th season! Open until Saturday, September 23rd!

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the wildfires in British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada.

Revelstoke is sometimes being affected by the smoke from different fires, depending on wind direction. Recently, (August 21-23rd) we had a good downpour of rain which helped clear the smoke.

The Panoramic Lake & Mountain View Tour is no longer available due to the lake water being drawn down early and it’s no longer a lake.

We continue to offer the Waterfall, Cascadia and Glacier View Tours. Tours can be booked directly with us or online through our website.

The Full Day & Overnight Tours may be available upon request, dependent on guide availability.

We require a minimum of 2 people for a tour to go ahead, and will try to fill a tour before a second tour will be added.

We still strongly recommend that our guests book at least 24 hours ahead to ensure availability, but if possible, we will try to accommodate last minute requests.

All rentals must be booked directly with us by phone, text (250-837-7883) or email nekayaking@telus.net (email only if booking more than 24 hours ahead)

We wish everyone safe travels and we look forward to seeing you in Revelstoke!

Proud to be in our 24th year of Operation!

The last few years during the COVID epidemic of 2020 to present, were challenging, but rewarding in that we managed to stay open and welcomed many guests from across Canada, with 2022 welcoming more International guests. We appreciated and enjoyed meeting so many interesting people and travellers who came out for a tour or rented kayaks or SUPs. Before that, 2019 was a special year for us, marking our 20th year guiding tours in our handmade wooden kayaks. Trip Advisor has also presented us with two of their most coverted awards, in 2019 we were inducted into the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame, celebrating businesses who have achieved their Certificate of Excellence 5 years running. And in 2020 & 2021, we joined a small group of businesses presented with the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award, which is based on reviews, ratings, and saves. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has joined us on our journey.

"Beautiful Day on the Water" Hubby and i had a beautiful day with these guys. We had a perfect day with clear skies and the water was like glass. Hosts were fantastic and very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the hand made boats and home made granola bars. Suitable for all levels and all gear provided was good. A beautiful experience. The scenery was amazing. “Great Experience” Lovely guides who had made their own wooden kayaks (a treat if you have been kayaking before as I found them very different to operate and they look really cool too) Really nice to have photos included and we luckily got a sunny day after a week of cold weather. Went as part of Moose Travel network. Highly recommend. “Well Run, Great Service” The guides were very helpful and really knew their stuff. They have some beautiful wooden kayaks different to other kayaks I have previously used. The lake was absolutely beautiful and they even include photos free for download on their website. would definitely recommend!
