Go Beyond the Shore
Our multi-day tours take you into BC's incredible riding destinations. Whether you want to lap lift-served bike parks in the Okanagan, explore Vancouver Island's trail mecca, or ride the full Sea to Sky corridor from Squamish to Pemberton, we've built trips that deliver maximum trail time with zero hassle.
Every trip includes professional guiding, transport, accommodation, and some meals. We keep groups small so you get a personalized experience, not a bus tour. Bike rentals available if you're flying in or want to try something different.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level do I need for multi-day trips?
Most trips are suited for intermediate riders — you should be comfortable on blue/intermediate trails and have reasonable fitness for full days of riding. We'll chat about your experience when you book to make sure the trip is a good fit.
How big are the groups?
We cap groups at 8 riders to keep things personal and make sure everyone gets attention. Private trips for larger groups are available — just ask.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We ride in most conditions — this is BC, after all. Our guides adjust routes and timing based on weather and trail conditions. If conditions are truly unsafe, we'll work with you on alternatives or rescheduling.
Can I extend or customize a trip?
Absolutely. Want to add an extra day at Silver Star or combine two trips? We're happy to build custom itineraries. Get in touch and tell us what you're thinking.
When do I need to book by?
We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for summer trips. Some dates fill up fast. A deposit secures your spot.
