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. Each experience is positioned as an opportunity to encounter the region’s distinctive landscapes—glaciers near Hat Glacier, peaks such as Frenchman Cap, and the waters of Lake Revelstoke. Natural Escapes Kayaking frames the Waterfall Tour as a shorter instruction-forward option, while the Glacier View Tour is presented as a broader scenic paddle suitable for a range of paddlers.
Information provided for each trip focuses on route type, visual landmarks, and suitability: the Glacier View Tour for all levels and the Waterfall Tour as a two-hour instructional outing. Prospective guests can use those details to select the trip that best fits desired scenery and time commitment.
The Glacier View Tour highlights glacier-fed waters and awe-inspiring views of Hat Glacier and Frenchman Cap peak, offering paddlers moments of quiet reflection and clear views along the fjord-like inlet and seasonal calmness.
