river expedition
Downstream exploration trip
A river expedition is an organized journey along a river, typically for exploration, research, or adventure.
The term suggests something more substantial than a casual canoe trip—often involving planning, equipment, and specific objectives: The 1869 Powell river expedition was the first documented passage through the Grand Canyon.
Scientific river expeditions may study wildlife, water quality, or geology along the route.
