Our staff are committed to providing a day you'll want to revisit for seasons to come. Our licensed guides have wilderness first aid and river rescure certification. As owner /operators, Linda Irvine and Daryl Bespflug have enjoyed a hands-on approach since starting Kootenay River Runners in 1976.

"Paddling the Kootenay River was like being on a wilderness expedition trip! What an introduction to the beautiful Rocky Mountains!"
