| |  | | Our Adventure Travel Trips in Canada & Alaska | |  |
Since 1972, we’ve been guiding our guests down river on adventure vacations on 20 of Canada and Alaska’s top rivers – from the Nahanni, Tatshenshini and Alsek to the Burnside, Wind and Soper Rivers. Whether you enjoy the thrill of a white water rafting or canoeing paddling adventure or the solitude and relaxation of a flatwater canoeing trip, you will return home from a Canadian River Expedition with stories which will delight your friends and family – and which will stay with you, for years to come. Our 30 Canada and Alaska adventure vacation trips are 5 to 21 day “premium-class” camping and paddling expeditions which use the river as our conduit to discover and explore some of the last wild places in North America. We give you the opportunity to not only embrace a unique destination, but discover an adventure vacation which is truly of the highest quality in every respect, honed from our years of experience in the adventure travel business. We work with you closely to plan your holiday so that you get maximum adventure during your precious vacation time off. Our talented wilderness guides deliver our trips with an authenticity which mirrors the unspoiled wilderness we travel through. Their deep experience living, learning and teaching about regional geology, wildlife and history is matched only by their passion for adventure, paddling skills and leadership acumen. From the comfortable tents we use at night to your own private river bag for your personal gear, from fresh fish, baked goods, fruit and produce to that delicious lasagna accompanied by a fine red wine at dinner, our CRE adventure vacations deliver quality every step of the way.
