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.

Mooney's Bay - I came in from out of town and had to change my reservation time due to flight delays and they were so responsive, helpful, and friendly! The kayak was clean and brand new and they even brought two sizes of PFD to the launch site. I would highly recommend this place to anyone travelling through Ottawa and the next time I come through I will be renting again. I launched at Mooneys Bay and was able to catch fish and relax on the beach when I was done.

Petrie Island - We had an amazing experience booking with Riverview Mobile Kayak. Easy to make the booking, easy to find, fantastic customer service, great sturdy and stable kayaks. We enjoyed out day so much, we've booked again. Would highly recommend.

Brantwood Park - This is our second time renting kayaks and it was just as much fun as the first time! Thank you for all your help!

Britannia Beach - Britania was beautiful! We had an amazing time. Thank- you!

Petrie Island - Excellent experience and will definitely be renting again! We met up at 2:30 and the kayak’s were ready for us, all we had to do was slip on our life jackets (that are conveniently provided). The owner was extremely nice and very informative on the area, she even took pictures of us towards the end to send via email. Overall a great time and much needed during last weeks heat wave!

Petrie Island - This was our first time trying a kayak rental service and boy we were not disappointed! The host was very helpful and friendly and we plan to go again later this summer to try another location. We highly recommend this company for kayak rentals. Thank you!

Brantwood Park - Everything proceeded on schedule, super friendly owner, fabulous kayak down the Rideau River, such a restorative experience. And then I just drove home!

Eccolands - This is such a great idea! I wish there were more locations. I will definitely do this again. Highly reccomended!

Petrie Island - This kayak adventure was fantastic! Everything was well- organized, clean and top quality. The owner was polite, professional and a joy to work with. She took care of my guests and made everyone comfortable. Highly recommended.

Petrie Island - I rented 2 kayaks twice already to do some kayaking at Petrie island. The delivery was on time. Excellent friendly service. Kayaks and lifejackets were fairly new and very clean. I highly recommend Riverview Mobile.

Petrie Island -  Very nice kayaking experience.

Petrie Island - We had a terrific experience... everything went so smoothly with the service and the kayaks seemed brand new! We had a great time on the water at Petrie Island and will definitely do this again.

Petrie Island - Very organized. Clean kayaks.

Roslyn Park - I have rented kayaks all over Ottawa and Gatineau (Dow's Lake, Ozile's Marina, Lac Leamy, Lac Philippe, Parc de Plaisance, Expeditions Wakefield, Escape Rentals) but Riverview Kayak is BY FAR THE BEST RENTAL COMPANY. 

Most companies give you a kayak or paddle that's the wrong size, or missing 1 or 2 footrests. Riverview asks your weight and height in advance to make sure you get the right fit. The kayaks are in perfect shape. They even come with a little dry bag.

Most companies give you a smelly canoe lifejacket that isn't suited for kayaking. Riverview gives you a clean kayaking lifejacket.

Most companies send you on your way in all weather conditions without asking whether you even know how to kayak. Riverview makes sure you know what you're doing and you'll be safe.

Petrie Island - My son wanted to try kayaking for the first time, so we rented a couple of kayaks from Riverview. Despite a mix-up in our order between sit-on and sit-in kayak, The host fixed us up right away with two sit-ons (what we were hoping for), and she even loaned me a dry bag for my new phone (which was only a few days old, so I was hesitant to bring it on the water). Well, the dry bag did its job and we enjoyed many scenic views, including turtles, herons, bullfrogs, geese, ducks, and even a turkey vulture. Thanks!

Mooney's Bay - We tried kayaking for the first time at Mooney's Bay. The location is great! Wide enough to seem like a lake, then getting narrower up the river. Waters are calm, almost no currents, occasionally disturbed by a passing motorboat, to kids' great delight! Speaking of whom (they are 10 and 15), from the moment they sat in their kayaks, they were like ducks in water - totally independent and maintenance free! We hit the water at 8:30 am and spent three hours of unforgettable fun! Thank you and looking forward to our next adventure (probably at Britannia Beach)!!!

Petrie Island - Our experience with Riverview Kayak Rental was a very pleasant one indeed. The reservation was easy to make and the owner was very accommodating and helpful in assisting us determine which kayak would be the best fit for us. We rented the kayaks in an effort to kind of “try before you buy” and the staff we dealt with went so far as to contact us post-reservation to give us a lead on where we could purchase the kayak we had in mind and to share their experience and expertise AND  gave us a discount card to use towards our next rental. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to give kayaking a try and will definitely be renting from them again in the future!! Service was A++!!!

Eccolands - We had the best day! Perfect service, great equipment, and an amazing location! Highly recommended Eccolands with Riverview Kayak.

Mooney's Bay - 10/10 recommend giving this a shot if you love to be out on the water! Everything you need is provided & folks who run the show were unbelievably accommodating and absolutely wonderful people. Locals know where it’s at so let’s keep supporting them!!
