GGC Featured Kayak Tours
Take one of our kayak tours to unwind, explore and possibly gain some knowledge of lakes such as Arrow Lake and Whatshan Lake. Whether this is your first time kayaking, a novice or a veteran our knowledgeable staff will guide you and take the stress away from planning so you can soak in the beauty of the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges.
We appreciate that not all of our clients are experienced kayakers and a fear of tipping over and being trapped holds many back. One major advantage to inflatable kayaks is you will not get trapped. They simplify the boarding process, on shore and in the water. Compared to hard shell, inflatables are more stable, forgiving and easier to control. The versatility, comfort and strength of these kayaks will surprise you. In addition, inflatable kayaks require less space, equipment and energy minimizing our environmental footprint.
All GGC scheduled tours below are available to all, with the standard of 1 guide per 6 participants. Explore our beautiful region with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts or contact us to book a private tour (price varies based on # of participants)
