Kayak Ontario: what do users think?

Niv Froehlich: Aaron Gascoyne, the owner of Kayak Ontario, and his team of kayak guides and instructors are all amazing!!! I have no hesitation in giving Kayak Ontario my highest recommendation!

Tina De Luca: . I went into Level 1 with ZERO knowledge about kayaking and the rules of the water, I'm now confident with the skills I've learned. Thank you to Aaron and Kelly for spending time with me to build my confidence and reassuring me during the course. Lion's Head is a wonderful place to take the course. I highly recommend Kayak Ontario for any level courses and I can't wait to join 1 of the trips. Thank you! Aaron, Kelly, Julie

Matthew Sawyers: It was good

Carrie Stella: I loved my indoor lessons so much I booked 2 more courses!Really great instruction and products from beginner to expert level. 5/5 stars for creating a fun, inclusive and educational space.

Richard Culver: Just finished a pool course.Time & money well spent.Simply awesome.Aaron and Brandon inspired confidence in this novice kayaker. Fantastic to be taken from "being apprehensive about capsizing" to "practicing proper rescue & getting back on board safely". PLUS attempting rolls. I am over 60 but believe with Aaron's instructions I might be able to complete a roll even if my hips don't move like Shakira. This definitely left me wanting another lesson.Added bonus, you get to do this learning in a Nigel Dennis Kayak. Those are definitely top quality.

Mike Galivan: Looking forward to level 2!

DEBBIE ROGERS: Just completed Level 1 Kayak course and have to say what an amazing experience. Aaron and Iza were fantastic, ensuring no matter what level of experience you had they made you feel comfortable to learn at your pace. Their enthusiasm and celebration of your progression made you want to keep going! Thanks Aaron and Iza , I learned so much and know that the new skills will keep me safer and a better kayaker!

Susan McLachlan: My introduction to sea kayaking was with Kayak Ontario this June for the Level 1 course. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be on the water. You learn skills that force you to be more comfortable on and in the water including wet exits and assisted and non assisted reentry. The paddle strokes taught are beneficial even with our recreational kayaks. We enjoyed the course so much my partner ordered a kayak for delivery this fall and I just picked up my very own Delta Blue. I recommend Kayak Ontario courses, services, and awesomeness to anyone interested in anything kayak related. Special thanks to Aaron and Lydia for the great instruction during th course and for all of our classmates for being so great as well. Can't wait to hit the water more confidently and of course keep on practicing.

Jeremy Shibley: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Value

Beth Gray: informative go to for everything kayaking

Helen Smith: It's amazing all the locations this sight has to offer!We are loving it..Thank you so much

Annette MacKay: Informative and helpful. They go above and beyond!

Jules Eileen: Did social paddles and the level 1 course in 2020 with Kayak Ontario. Couldn't have been happier. Knowledgable, fun, safe. Always operated with Covid safety and water safety as priorities. Patient instructors, welcoming to newbies and more experienced paddlers alike. Highly recommend to my friends.

Jane McGrory: I took the level one paddle course this summer and was happy I did. Aaron is a great instructor, very knowledgeable.Thanks to him I have confidently purchase my first sea kayak.

Beach Marine: what do users think?

Matthew Lawrence: Such fantastic service! We brought our canoe there today for service and were helped by the owner who treated us with such kindness and consideration. Top quality products and wonderfully helpful.

Jeffery McKenna: They take care of their customers. Patched 3 punctures and replaced a cracked seat on a heavily used canoe I bought 8 years ago for a very low price. Their product is great and service is top notch as well. Will be a life long customer

Keaton Ambridge: Amazing service and very likely the best value you can get when purchasing a newly minted canoe anywhere in Ontario. We ordered ahead and simply rolled in to pick the canoe up, quick and efficient. They even helped us efficiently strap the canoe onto our car. Overall an amazing experience.

Ralph Findling: Just bought a canoe. Although they are busy, they made the time to accommodate my pickup. I appreciated the service and look forward to some canoeing!

Jeremy S: use an L-shaped gunwale which resists flexion better. Interior finish is not as refined as other manufacturers. The sides of the hull are vertical

Adam Cheaney: I've rented canoes many times from Beach Marine. I have never had a problem. Each time I've been able to pick up the night before without any additional charge. Rentals are all in excellent shape. I rent their kevlar canoes for back country camping. They also sell many types of canoes, kayaks, and even custom jobs. They will even show you how to properly secure it to your vehicle and provide straps, rope and the foam blocks to protect your vehicle's roof. Go here and you will be very happy. Owner is great. They know what they are doing. They have also been a Hamilton business for as long as I can remember.

Jason Stager: Good people, excellent canoes!

Hoi Leung: Wonderful product, great price, help with strapping it down. COVID safe! Worth the wait!

Edward Mizzi: Treated like Royalty: Was at Beach Marine today, Aug. 11, 2020, to purchase cam straps. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Prices are great. I highly recommend Beach Marine as your one-stop shop for canoes, kayaks, etc.

Vanessa Savanh: Picked up our very first canoe and after a lot of research you couldnt find any where wth comparable prices for a 16 foot kevlar canoe! So happy we were able to book an appointment everyone there was super helpful!

Luke Bennink: Terrific place for canoe sales and service. Bought my canoe 5 years ago and they're the only ones I send it too for touch ups.Just got skid plates installed and they look great.Highly recommend.

Zoe Mia: I have just purchased a 16' ft kevlar canoe in red. Very light weight only 47 lbs. Paulette helped me out a great amount. Their prices and quality cannot be beat. Thank you very much!

Carlisle Canoe Co.: what do users think?

Patrick S: .

Louis Stroud: What an awesome course. In one day Roger helped my girlfriend and I make incredible black cherry canoe paddles. It was such an amazing class and he was extremely knowledgeable and patient. Such a great birthday gift.

Johnathan Briggs: I contacted Roger out of desperation to get my kevlar canoe repaired two weeks before a camping trip. He was very accommodating and had it repaired quickly and charged very little. He also showed me a better way to rig the canoe on my truck which was very helpful. Thanks Roger!

Ry Smith: So helpful and informative! I was looking for a quick repair to a cedar strip canoe but the comments and advice were worth the trip.

Shawnee Atkins: Not sure the name of the gentleman I spoke with on the phone, but after exhausting my resources looking for d-ring patches for my paddle board, I gave this place a call.Although they don’t carry deck rigging kits or d-ring patches, he chatted with me on the phone for about 10 minutes asking every little detail about what I was trying to complete, suggesting alternatives to what I was looking for, and ways I could easily complete this at home.Seriously some of the best customer service I have ever received. I will definitely make a point to stop in to the store if I’m ever in the area, thanks to this gentleman’s outstanding customer service.Thanks again! 😊

wayne lee: Roger is so warm and welcoming, and looking forward to seeing how our new gunwales look after we stained them ourselves.Can't wait to paddle in our newly restored canoe with Roger's TLC!

Boyce Collins: I would recommend Roger's paddle carving workshop to anyone with an interest in woodworking. Roger was gracious and patient with the attendees and gave instruction in a way that made the process fun and accessible to to all skill levels.It's clear that Roger is a real master craftsman, having the opportunity to tap into some of that skill was a true pleasure.

Adam Freeman: Very knowledgeable and skilled in repair and creation of canoes. He was able to breath new life in to the canoe that my girlfriend and I have.

Sean O'Connell: We had an excellent experience carving out our paddles! Under Roger's direction, we were able to take a slab of raw cheery plank wood and create quality canoe paddles that we will enjoy for years to come. Rogers experience and guidance had everyone in the class understanding his step by step process of crafting their very own canoe paddle.I would recommend this one day class to all of my outdoor enthusiast friends.Roger also offers classes on canoe building/maintenance and repair. I look forward to returning to Carlisle Canoe for a canoe build in the near future.

Kyle Hamilton: The owner is exceptionally friendly and it's amazing to see how Canoes are built

Garth “3DSparky” Howe: Roger has been hand building canoes for decades now. He brings a passion for fine canoe building, together with endless patience for the novice builder, and a sense of humour to everything he does. He will build you your dream canoe, or will assist you in building your own dream canoe.Some people find building a canoe just plain enjoyable, while others find it a peaceful recharging of their soul. As Canadians, some things just seem to be part of who we are. Maple syrup, white winters, politeness to others, and canoes.If you aren't sure you want to take on a whole canoe, he also does paddle carving courses! Give him a call, he is a nice guy and will help you out.

Grand River Rafting Company: what do users think?

Rob Bellissimo: Good time. Nice people, great Lazy river

La Dementor: Amazing experience everytime we've been there. If you're doing the longer route from Paris, must try the fresh water springs on the way, they are so cool and refreshing.River water is clean mostly, mud looks muddy at several spots. Also, there can be bugs closer to the shore in some areas, so make sure that the area is clean before you decide to take a dip.

Murray: So much fun! Great employees that are very helpful. They made the experience very enjoyable!!!

Ardy Biniaz: Great adventure for all family. A relaxing ride.Staff were helpful and very friendly

rick gordon: Wow what a great way to spend a lazy Saturday.... well worth the money ..... a very family friendly event

Lori Ivanco: Great company, they take care of everything. Just enjoy your river float!

john p: Overall positive experience. Things to watch out for...The grand river rafting is inside grand river conservation park. Forget the Jennings road.Your entrance fee to the provincial park is included with your rafting fee and if you wish to swim in the beautiful provincial outdoor pool you pay a mere $2.50 per person.... a great surprise bonus!We were surprised with some basic safety measures missing such as flimsy wobbling hand rail steps down to the water with a big drop that could be a problem for most older adults.The students working seemed to be serious and somewhat disconnected and disinterested in their duties. One of the owners spoke and was knowledgeable yet not very practical with giving specifics on how to guage just where you were in the journey.We expected staff to be coming along the journey in case of anyone needing assistance, but no.... you are totally on your own whether you know what you are doing or not....they said the water was only 3 feet deep... that is incorrect.... I checked several times an found at times it was 5 to 6 feet deep also ...There needs to be more markers on the way to indicate where you are on your journey so you can at least tell someone where you are in case of needing help.... I only noticed one sign I happened to accidentally view since the floating tube I was using does spin around once In a while.Overall it was a peaceful and fun activity that we were pleased we went on. Fortunately everything went well.Well priced for what you get I felt. It was fun.

Erika Theis: This was our fourth visit, first time on the 2 person yak rather than the turbo tubes. It was a cloudy day and chilly but ended up have a great time anyway! Looking forward to visiting next summer again.

Cindy Doroslovac: Best and most peaceful water experience! Loved it so much, I just came back from my 2nd visit in one month! I booked the individual Turbo Tube. Staff are wonderful. Equipment is great quality and very safe. You have to try!

Germaine Brooks: Absolutely amazing experience, definitely worth going. Perfect for beginners as well!

Trish Vanleeuwen: Great experience tubing down the grand river. Will definitely be back. Awesome experience!!!!

Shantanu Kashyap: One of the good places to enjoy the holiday.For kayaking it's $35 for 2 hours

Keerthana S: It was a good experience, relaxing water. Rapids were small ones.. moreover we made the mistake of taking the big raft for a group of 5. It would have been more fun if individual turbo tubing was chosen. Since water current flow is medium, it was tough to raft.Staffs and guides are awesome, they explained the routes very well.Overall, it's a thrilling activity that's definitely worth trying if you're seeking an outdoor adventure

Jenna Kaplan: Got to rent a kayak for $20 for the hour and take a short trip down the river! So much fun, gorgeous views, and the staff working were so lovely!

Lola Love: They were extremely accommodating when it came to weather changes. The tubes are like luxury loungers! Had such a great day!
