Float the Columbia

Start your morning off right by floating on the Columbia River. This peaceful and scenic trip begins by launching the rafts from Moses Creek and paddling downstream from there. Enjoy an independent experience as you follow your guide down the river in your own boat.

Along the way, rafters can take in the beautiful views of the surrounding forests and mountains, and may even spot wildlife such as bald eagles. The trip ends at a designated take-out point, where the rafts are pulled from the water and the rafters are driven back to Revelstoke.

We loved it! Never once did I feel unsafe and our guide Nick, was full of funny stories. Highly recommended! p.s. Although I felt waaaay too hot after dawning all the gear in the parking lot, I soon realized that it was absolutely necessary. Don't skimp on any of the warm offerings.
