History

Established in 1997.

Jennifer and Pete Koerner opened Up The Creek Xpeditions in 1997 because they wanted to share the fun and joy of kayaking with as many people as possible. Up The Creek Xpeditions has been a family-​owned and operated kayak tour company for nearly 20-​years; which means nobody knows more about showing your family or group a great time on the water — and nobody knows more about the local waterways than our staff of professional guides and instructors. At Up The Creek, nothing is more important than your experience. During that time we’ve provided our guests with unparalleled customer service and attention to detail in order to create the best possible paddling experience. We love exploring wild and scenic places; and we love sharing our passion for kayaking. Our experience allows us to take your group to the out-​of-​the-​way places very few people ever see and create positive and lasting memories of exciting adventures.
