Dam Good Trips, Vancouver, BC

Welcome fellow adventurers. I am Christina Chowaniec, founder and operator of Dam Good Trips. My experienced colleagues and I believe that the self-guided, highly personalized trips we create offer you a unique kind of independence and flexibility.
What we do best is this: match your needs with the many paddling and hiking opportunities available in BC and equip you to do it. Alone. Unguided. But well informed and advised about what challenges you will face. That’s how we put our knowledge to work for you.
We are experienced kayakers and hikers who know the tides and currents, coves and estuaries, beaches and peaks, valleys and meadows because we explore here all the time. For sure, these are powerful ocean waters, awesome tides, demanding mountains and changeable weather patterns. So our confidence is always tempered with caution.
We know what gear is best, kayaks, paddles, rescue systems, navigation tools, communication devices and safety gear. We also know menus and good food, GPS coordinates for great campsites and hidden beaches, and advice on everything that helps get you where you want to go. We love lists. We love details. We have a lot of information and expertise we can share with you. Most of all, we love the outdoors, so let’s get you out there.
