Natural Escapes Kayaking offers outdoor kayaking experiences centered on glacier-fed inlets and Lake Revelstoke. The operator's two headline trips are the Glacier View Tour and the Waterfall Tour. The Glacier View Tour invites paddlers to travel through a fjord-like inlet surrounded by glaciers, with direct scenic sightlines to Hat Glacier and Frenchman Cap peak. Described as suitable for all kayaking levels, the Glacier View Tour emphasizes expansive glacier views and a serene paddling environment. The Waterfall Tour at Lake Revelstoke combines kayaking with skill instruction; in just two hours participants learn essential kayaking skills while exploring mountain and glacier-influenced waters. Trips highlight natural scenery, including waterfalls, mountain peaks, glacier-fed waters, and sheltered inlets.
