The most important questions to ask a tour company

    • How long have the company’s guides been guiding in the specific area that you are interested in?
    • Does the company specialize in one or two specific activities and one or two locations or do they try to cover the whole spectrum (spread themselves too thin)?
    • Do the guides have their wilderness first aid certification and do they have training and certification in the activities that they are guiding?
    • Does the company provide the clients with all the necessary safety equipment for the activities they are participating in and do they insist that clients use or wear it in accordance with regulations?
    • Does the company have former clients who will provide testimonials and references?

More About Pathways

Pathways is a small, family-owned company that prides itself on it’s guiding experience and personal service. We only offer canoe expeditions and we guide them in only two areas: the Bowron Lakes and Yukon rivers. We were the first company to guide commercial canoe trips in the Bowron Lakes Provincial Park and have been guiding canoe trips there since 1973.

We have been guiding on the Yukon rivers since 1978. We take great care to make sure our guides reflect our love of the wilderness. Also, all our guides have a minimum Red Cross Wilderness First Aid, relevant Paddle Canada Certificates in both lake and moving water. We supply all the safety equipment, including PFDs (life jackets) and insist that clients wear them, properly secured, whenever they are in the canoes.

We also have many former clients who have offered to supply references and testimonials. We are the most experienced guides on the Bowron Lakes and believe our company runs the best trips. If you’d like to ask us more questions, give us a call at 236-335-2824 or e-mail pathwayscanoe@gmail.com for an information package.
