About Green Tongue Adventures
Green Tongue Adventures is a locally owned expedition company based on Railway Avenue in Canmore, specialising in river adventures and canoe rentals across southern Alberta and British Columbia. They offer expertly guided paddling trips on the Bow River and surrounding waterways, along with canoe and kayak equipment rentals for those who prefer to explore on their own. Their guides bring deep knowledge of the region's river systems, wildlife, and backcountry access points.
Their guided tour menu includes family-friendly Bow River floats, multi-day canoe camping expeditions, and whitewater experiences on more challenging sections of river. Shuttle services are available for self-guided paddlers who want to run point-to-point routes without the logistics hassle. Rental packages cover canoes, kayaks, paddles, PFDs, and dry bags, with flexible pickup and drop-off arrangements from their Railway Avenue base.
What makes Green Tongue distinctive is their focus on immersive, backcountry-style river experiences rather than quick tourist floats. Their multi-day trips take paddlers deep into the Kananaskis and Bow Valley wilderness, with camping along the riverbank and wildlife viewing opportunities that day trips simply cannot match. The team's first-aid certifications and swift-water rescue training give guests confidence on more technical stretches of water.
