Our Story
We started West Coast Whitewater because we love running rivers, and we think you will too. British Columbia's canyons have some of the best whitewater anywhere, and we've spent years getting to know every rapid so we can take you through them safely. Come see for yourself why so many of our guests book a second trip.

From the River - and the People Who Ran It
What Guests Say
"Just had an amazing multiday river expedition with these charismatic Guides. The trip was well planned and fantastically executed. The guided experience, landscape, and meals were very enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a trip."
6-Day NASS TRIP
Graham L.
Vancouver, BC
"We brought a group of 8 for a custom trip and they tailored every detail. The river was wilder than anything I expected - and that's exactly what we asked for. Small group, massive experience."
Custom Adventure
Marcus R.
Calgary, AB
"As a complete beginner I was nervous. By the second rapid I was hooked. The guides made the whole thing feel completely safe while still being genuinely exciting. Life-changing isn't too strong a word."

First Nations Land Acknowledgement
West Coast Whitewater acknowledges that our operations on the Nass River take place on the traditional, unceded territory of the Nisga'a and Gitanyow Nations, and adjacent to the Lake Babine and Gitanmaax Nations. We recognize the deep cultural, spiritual, and historical connection the local indigenous people have to these lands and waters, and we are committed to operating in a way that respects their sovereignty, values, and stewardship. We are grateful for the opportunity to travel through these territories and strive to uphold practices that honour their ongoing guardianship of the Nass and Skeena Valleys.
