Brantwood - My friends and I rented kayaks for an afternoon paddle and it was a great experience! Kayaks and safety gear were out and ready for us at check in, had help putting them in and out of the water. Overall very organized and helpful from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone looking to try something new or spend a day on the water with friends.

Belmont Ave - Sylvie was super responsive in answering my many questions. She was very accommodating and flexible. The kayak was in excellent condition and she made sure all was well before leaving the launch site. Two thumbs up! I recommend!

Brantwood - This was my first kayak rental. Sylvie already had the kayak down at the dock by the time I had arrived. Everything was seamless and enjoyable all around. I will definately be renting a kayak from this organization again. Thank you! George

Mooney's Bay - I felt at peace and plan on doing it again.

Petrie Island - This worked great and we were happy to have found it as a last minute option. We will do it again, but Some friendly feedback - as a family with kids that like kayaking, we would love if there was an option to go out for less time!

Brantwood - It was so calm & so relaxing! It was much needed, it was also my first time kayaking. I really enjoyed it!

Mooney's Bay - After making the difficult decision to sell our beloved kayaks due to downsizing, what a complete delight to discover Riverview Mobile Kayak Rental. Sylvie made booking a breeze. We arrived at Mooney's Bay and found everything exactly as described, with Sylvie waiting for us with a warm greeting and a big smile. She helped us launch and was there on our return to help us bring in the kayaks. Like my review title says, this was all no fuss, no muss. The prices are competitive and the service fantastic. We'll be renting from Riverview again soon. Thank you, Sylvie!

Brantwood - It was a good experience as the kayak was ready and waiting when I reached. Three hours spent on the river were very peaceful

Petrie Island - Never been before, and it was such a great time! Sylvie was super friendly and helpful. Definitely booking again! :)

Eccolands - Sylvie was so nice and provided us with everything we needed! We had such an amazing time.

Eccolands - We had a great time. And what a great idea. I wish we'd discovered this earlier in the season. We'll definitely be booking some kayaking in this or other put-in locations in the upcoming season.

Brantwood Park - Hi, We had lots of fun kayaking. The owners was very helpful and guide us well before we started our adventure. Thank you Nameeta

Roslyn Park to Petrie Island - Just had my fourth perfect experience with Riverview Kayak. I love that they can deliver at one place, and pick up at our destination point. Last month we paddled 13 kms in a double kayak from the Blair Road dock to Petrie island, all downstream. This time we chose individual kayaks and paddled 8 kms from Roslyn Park (at the Residence Saint-Louis) to again Petrie Island, again downstream, but going all around the island first. As always, excellent service and equipment.
