N'Quatqua First Nations Cultural Riding Expedition
Learn About N’Quatqua First Nations.
Led by N’Quatqua First Nation wranglers, this 4-day unique journey offers a rare opportunity to learn about the N'Quatqua people's creation story, their deep connection to the land, and their perspectives on the region’s evolution, including mining, forestry, and the rise of tourism in their ancestral territories.
For four days and three nights, explore the breathtaking beauty of the land as you ride through serene streams, scenic mountain lakes, and the fascinating Li-lik-Hel mine. Along the way, enjoy the chance to exercise our horses in various gaits while taking in panoramic mountain vistas, spotting local wildlife, and savouring delicious meals.
One evening, gather around the campfire for drumming, singing, and storytelling, offering a rare glimpse into the N'Quatqua’s cultural practices. You may even enjoy a traditional meal, giving you a deeper connection to their heritage. We’ve got all your needs covered, from accommodations to meals—just bring your clothing, toiletries, and any beverages you’d like.

Our rider weight limit is 250 lbs or 113 kgs. However, this is a guideline and depends on factors such as rider fitness, height, and riding experience. An experienced, balanced rider puts far less strain on a horse than someone new to riding.
We are always concerned with the comfort and long-term health of our guests and our horses. Since horses also come in all shapes and sizes, not all horses can carry the same weight. Please keep these factors in mind when booking.
While we do our best to accommodate all guests, we reserve the right to arrange an alternate time or cancel a booking if we do not have a suitable horse available for you. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this policy.
Flexible Booking
We offer flexible booking options including cancellations as late as 24hrs before your ride, rescheduling or cancelling at no extra charge for all rides except the multi-day rides which require 7 days’ notice for cancellation. Last-minute booking can be made up to 2 hours before the hourly ride, 24 hours before for 1/2 day and full day rides and 7 days prior for multiday rides.*
