Backroads Whistler offering Whistler's best value on canoe, kayak, and bike rentals and tours

Mountain Biking Tours

Whistler has trails for everyone! For the inexperienced rider, families and those just wishing for a scenic ride, Whistler has over 45 kilometers of paved bicycle trails which tour around the valley. Let the Valley Trail take you on a journey past golf courses, log homes, lakes and the River of Golden Dreams. For those looking to try single track (off road riding) your options are endless and our staff members can point you in the right direction.

Paddle Pedal
"A trip that will wet yer whistle and turn yer crank"

Enjoy the best of both worlds. Take a gentle paddle down the River of Golden Dreams. At the end of your paddle we will have your bikes waiting for you; trade in your boats and explore Whistler by bike. Our staff will point you in the right direction as you cycle back to Lakeside Park on paved bike path or through the forested trails. The trip includes a shuttle bus to the lake, boat rentals (boat, paddle, lifejacket), and the bike and helmet for the rest of the day.

Our Paddle Pedal trips are available as unguided, semi guided and fully guided. Semi guided means you'll have a guide during the boating portion and be able to cycle on your own during the biking portion.

Logistics:You can begin your adventure at Lakeside Park or be met at the pickup location in the village (located on Main St at the back of Comor Sports). Once at the lake, you are fitted with lifejackets and paddles, then taken through an orientation with their boats prior to your departure. We then paddle the lake and river then meet approximately 2 1/2 hours later at the take out where you trade your boat for the previously fitted bike.

On a fully guided trip, your guide is with you for the whole trip, leading you back to the village on various trails depending on your level of ability and whether you want a scenic trip or off road instruction and technique tips. If semi-guided, the guide is with you during the boating portion and then you are free to roam on your bikes. If unguided, the driver gives you a map and directions on how to make it back to Lakeside Park in the most enjoyable way.
