Petrie Island  **Review: Riverview Mobile Kayak**

We had an unforgettable experience with Riverview Mobile Kayak for a birthday celebration, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our group was quite large, and for most of us, it was our first time kayaking. Despite this, the two ladies from Riverview Mobile Kayak were incredibly professional and accommodating, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and confident on the water.

Their guidance and patience made the experience enjoyable for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest in our group. They provided clear instructions and were attentive to our needs, which greatly enhanced our adventure. The beautiful scenery along the river only added to the overall enjoyment.

If you're looking for a fun and memorable outdoor activity, especially for first-time kayakers, we highly recommend Riverview Mobile Kayak. Their excellent service and dedication to customer satisfaction truly made our day special. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Brantwood Park - Mobile Kayak Rental was the perfect choice for our family father's day adventure. Sylvie was available to answer questions over the phone and email on several occasions, and was flexible when we requested a time change after booking, that meant the world. Sylvie arrived early, to set up the Kayaks by the river before our arrival, and gave us a great talk about what wildlife to look for on river, and how to look for it. The kayaks were great, and life jackets were provided, Sylvie helped us launch and even took a family photo of us in the water. Sylvie was warm, kind, and attentive to detail, highly recommend Mobile Kayak Rental for your next adventure!

Brantwood Park - I called about an hour prior day of booking and Sylvia was very helpful regarding short notice booking and drop off. Would do again.

Petrie Island - I booked with Riverview Kayak a few times and was extremely satisfied with all the kayaking trips. Sylvie is always so accommodating and helpful! She is always there on time and stays until you’ve safely left the dock. Trying something new can be intimidating at first but her helpful knowledge and advice made this so much easier for me. Thank you very much!

Mooney's Bay - We had a great time with the Kayaks and Paddleboards! Sylvie was very responsive throughout the process of booking and leading up. We were worried about weather and she even offered for us to wait until the day of to make a decision which I thought was very nice! The process was really smooth, I'll definitely be booking again:) 

Kettle Island - We loved that activity ! First time for my son on a kayak. Beautiful spot. Sylvie is a professionnal and a nice person. Kayaks are excellent and stable. Go for it

Brantwood Park - This is our second year in a row renting kayaks from Riverview and we were just as pleased!! Brantwood Park location was absolutely serene. Got to see blue herons and egrets up close.

Brantwood Park -Thanks to Sylvie at Riverview Mobile Kayak Rental, we had an enjoyable afternoon at Brantford Park. This time we went north where it was a little more challenging for us novice kayakers. The river current was stronger due the recent heavy rains so it was a tough go, coming back to the landing. We saw a variety of birds this outing but didn't get an opportunity to take pictures of them.

We will be back to this spot and maybe other locations due to a generous offer from Sylvie.
Thanks to Riverview Mobile Kayak Rental for the 3 hours of exercise and fun!

Mooney's Bay Beach - This is such an easy way to get out on the water. They kayaks were ready to go when we arrived. I highly recommend it. I enjoyed exploring the Rideau and I did not have to do any of the work of transporting kayaks myself. I’ll definitely be using this service again.

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.

Brantwood Park - Great work people. Definitely coming back

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 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

Mooney's Bay - My husband and I had a perfect day kayaking, thanks for  making it so easy - provides everything and is so helpful and understanding, whether to experienced kayakers or relative newbies. We will definitely return!

Brantwood Park - The host was amazing!! She was there early to explain everything and again arrived early when we came back after a wonderful 2 hours of kayaking! We rented the kayaks for family members (we have our own) and they enjoyed their first experience kayaking the Rideau River!! We will rent again soon!! Thank you also for the souvenir pictures!!

Duck Island - This was so much fun! Thank-you for accomodating our group! The service & equipment was amazing! Super clean & well maintained.

Petrie Island - Decided to rent our kayaks with Riverview based on their excellent reviews. The owner is so friendly and accommodating and all the equipment was in pristine condition. It made for an extremely enjoyable experience. Petrie Island was perfect for us since we prefer calmer waters. We plan on trying the Brantwood park location as it promises even more calm waters😊

Petrie Island - Hi, I enjoyed the kayak rental experience at Petrie Island. The kayak was newer and equipment clean. They were very helpful and thank you. I would say that the only reason I would consider other companies would be to reduce the cost for the half day rental. Are there any ideas you have in regards to reducing the cost if I am renting only one kayak?

Petrie Island - Had to move date due to the weather and they were great and was able to accommodate us on another day! It was super easy and we felt safe knowing we had all the required equipment and everything was in great shape. We really enjoyed being able to explore and let us know what areas to stick to which was super helpful! Will definitely be looking in to the other locations as well.

Petrie Island - We used Riverview Mobile Kayak Rental for the first time yesterday and the process couldn’t have been easier. I sent a text message to the number listed on their website asking for a very early 6- 9am booking for Thursday, June 30th. the owner replied to me very quickly, despite it being Sunday night! The next day, I received a link by email to set my booking up and make my payment. On Thursday, they were waiting for us when we arrived at our launch site at 5:45am and she gave us advice on our route, helped us get our life jackets on and she even helped us embark. They were there again when we returned. It was a beautiful morning made even more beautiful because the kayaks were brought to us and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We will definitely use this service again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Petrie Island - Loved it. Excellent service!

Petrie Island - Very friendly and professional. She was punctual meeting us and the equipment was very clean and well maintained. We had a great paddle!

Petrie Island - Great service and had a great time with Kaykas.

Petrie Island - No hassle kayak pickup and drop off Kayak was spotless.. Got advice on location of turtles and recommended route for novice kayaker. All equipment provided. Easy paddle on Ontario side of island. Will parking only $2 for 5 hours on the island. Will definitely use Riverview Mobile again.

Petrie Island - Loved every moment!

Brantwood Park - We actually started at 4pm - thank you for accommodating the time change. 
The entire two hours on the Rideau River were wonderful: the water was calm; for 15 minutes we sat and watched a Great Blue Heron preen itself; later we saw another one fishing; we were surrounded by trees, ducks, geese, summer sounds, and it was delightful sharing the day and sun and water with others on stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and canoes.
A relaxing experience, which I've already recommended to others.

Petrie Island - The waterways around Petrie island are quite swampy so there is an abundance of life to see. Beautiful setting and very easy paddling. We had a great time. The kayaks were fitted out with the proper safety equipment and were clean when we started.
