Multi-Day Canoe & Sea Kayak Rentals

We specialize in overnight and multi-day canoe and sea kayak rentals for wilderness expeditions. Please note in Yellowknife we are not located waterside, so we don’t offer hourly or single-day recreational rentals. For those options, we recommend Sundog Adventures!

Community & Group Rentals

We do provide 1-day rentals with transportation for community governments, organizations, and group paddling programs. Contact us for availability and pricing.
