About
BikeHike Adventures is a Vancouver-based adventure travel company that runs multi-sport guided trips combining cycling, hiking, and kayaking. They operate tours across BC, the Canadian Rockies, and international destinations, positioning themselves as a premium active travel brand.
For families with older kids and teens, their BC-focused day trips and multi-day packages offer some of the most comprehensive active adventure experiences available in the Vancouver area. A typical multi-sport day might include a morning bike ride along the Sea-to-Sky Highway followed by an afternoon hike to a viewpoint or waterfall.
The company's Vancouver-area offerings include cycling tours through Stanley Park and the Seawall, hiking trips on the North Shore mountains, and kayaking excursions on Indian Arm. Multi-day trips head to Whistler, the Gulf Islands, or the Sunshine Coast, combining several activities with lodge accommodations.
Kids need to be at least 10-12 years old and physically fit for most trips. Cycling portions require comfort on a bike for 2-4 hours. Hiking sections involve moderate trail distances. The guides adjust pace for the group but maintain a baseline fitness expectation.
BikeHike provides all activity equipment — bikes, helmets, kayaks, paddles, life jackets. For multi-day trips, accommodations and most meals are included. The company handles all logistics, so families can focus on enjoying the experience rather than planning routes and booking hotels.
With a 5.0 Google rating and headquarters on West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano, BikeHike has built a strong reputation in the adventure travel market. They're a premium product and priced accordingly — this isn't budget touring. But for families who want a polished, well-organized active vacation with professional guides, it delivers.

Why Kids Love It
