Kayak Rentals
Come and rent a kayak on beautiful Bowen Island! We are proud to offer clean, well maintained single and double kayaks for rent. Whether you are planning a leisurely paddle or looking to kayak and camp for a few days, we have exactly what you need.
If this is your first time kayaking, we recommend you book a guided Shoreline Tour or learn the basic skills with an Intro to Kayaking lesson.
Our beginner kayaks are very stable and we provide everyone with safety gear and instruction before you depart. For experienced kayakers, our Seaward Tyee and G3 kayaks are perfect for a multi-day exploration of Howe Sound.
Please email or call 604 947 9266 to discuss, if you wish to book an overnight rental.
