What will a visitor see and do on a Spokane River kayak or canoe trip?
They’ll have the chance to see various wildlife – osprey, great blue herons and beavers. We even have moose encounters once in a while. We’re working to do more tours of downtown, tours through the center of the city. We have a kayaking tour that finishes with a Thai dinner and we’re planning to add a tour that ends at one of Spokane’s favorite pizza places. How many of your customers are tourists and how do they book your tours? Probably about 40 percent. They hear about us through local outfitters and outdoor retail stores such as Mt. Gear, Mountain Goat and REI. Hotels and the Spokane Convention & Visitors Bureau also help promote and introduce visitors to our program. They usually sign up through a group contract. We’ve hosted more conventioneers in the past two years but we also get individuals. We’ve met them at the Davenport and other hotels and shuttle them, depending on the type of tour they book. But, we can meet them at the starting point of the tour if they like. Which tour
