Mobile ticket

Join us on a group kayak paddle to explore the Bow River. Check out the local wildlife, capture that perfect picture in front of Mount Rundle and maybe even catch a glimpse of our resident beaver, Barry.

The early bird gets the worm, and in this case, the kayakers gets to hit the river first (before rentals are open)! Experience paddling the Bow River or Creek with no other boats (apart from your group). It's magic. Connect with nature and other kayakers as you enjoy the serene surroundings and picturesque views. Our friendly hosts will help answer your questions and point you in the right direction. Please note that participants must have previous kayak experience and should be fairly physically fit as the experience can be adventurous and you may be required to portage. Kayak Experience includes a potential portage so participants should be prepared in case they get muddy or wet.

Price is for a double kayak. Price is per boat. Please contact us for single kayak rates.

    What a great experience! Our guide was so polite and educated about the area. He even snapped a few action pics for the group and helped us cross the beaver dam! The weather turned out to be absolutely perfect and the views were incredible.

    Great experience. Safe, punctual, beautiful. 8am in July is great since it’s not too hot yet. Abby did a great job. Knowledgeable and made us feel safe even crossing a beaver dam. She let us know that she took many pics of us and sent it to us at the end for free. Bring bug spray since there were many mosquitos!
