Our Story
Adrenaline - it runs in your veins. It runs in ours too. The true spirit of wild adventure lives within British Columbia's legendary river canyons, where the only path is the one the water carves. Discover why West Coast Whitewater has been guiding rivers for over 20 years - and why our guests keep coming back for more.

From the River - and the People Who Ran It
What Guests Say
"I've done a lot of adventure travel, but nothing came close to the Northern BC expedition. The guides were extraordinary - calm in the big water, hilarious around camp. I'd go back tomorrow."
6-Day NASS TRIP
Sarah T.
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."

West Coast Whitewater acknowledges that our operations on the Nass River take place on the traditional, unceded territory of the Nisga'a Nation and adjacent to the Lake Babine, Gitanyow, 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.
