British Columbia is one of the best places on Earth to explore by boat and mountain bike. This private, full-day adventure brings both together, taking you from Squamish to Gibsons by boat to ride exceptional forest singletrack and some of the best loam in the world.
It is the journey, the riding, the food and the return across Howe Sound that make this a all time day you will not forget.
Why ride on the Sunshine Coast?
Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast are close to Squamish and Vancouver, but there is no direct road connection.
Most visitors arrive by ferry, private boat or air, which makes getting there part of the adventure so this also why trails have less traffic.
The area around Gibsons and Roberts Creek have a perfect gradient for MTB not too steep, not too flat making it fun for every level.
Finally Gibson has a lush forest some of the best loam.
