What To Expect

Squamish Estuary

Estuaries occur where coastal rivers enter the sea, creating a mix of fresh and saltwater habitats. These habitats change with each tide. During flood tide, ocean water pulses into the estuary and up the lower reaches of the river. At ebb, fresh water pours into the estuary basin, pushing a wedge of lighter fresh water and riverborne sediments into the estuary. Why is an estuary important? Protected inner waters of estuaries, laden with sediment, form the richest of coastal environments. Their productivity far exceeds that of either the finest agricultural land or the open ocean. 80% of the Fraser Estuary has been lost, altered/developed. 50% of the Squamish estuary has been lost, altered/developed. Estuaries are a scarce resource, less than 3% of BC's coastline.

Christian was brilliant. He was passionate, knowledgeable and great with our 12yr old son - giving him great encouragement and making it a memorable holiday experience for him. Could not recommend Christian and his tour highly enough.
Adventurous way to tour!

Excellent bike ride and tour through Squamish. The trails went from paved to gravel to mountain biking style keeping it fun and interesting. The guide was a long time local and pointed out so many unique things. We loved the bikes too. Comfortable and powerful when you needed it.

Best memory is Brent looking over his right shoulder to describe to us the river, estuary, trees or history of Squamish. We saw tree roots where a bear could hibernate. So amazing, so fun and so educational. Not too long, not too short. Just right!
