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.

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.

Brantwood Park - We rented four kayaks for two adults and our 16 and 11 year old children. We wanted a leisurely experience since we had our puppy with us. We saw a heron, river frogs and baby ducks and experienced a relaxed kayak with nice views and conversation as a family. Our host was so kind and attentive and provided all the info we needed. An extra special bonus was the unexpected photos of our experience with our pup and children! You certainly cannot beat the delivery service of having your kayaks dropped off and picked up for you! We will do this again and try a different river as there are a few choices for pick ups and drop offs,

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 - 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😊

Mary-Frances 2022-07-07
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?

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!

Best Rental Experience in Ottawa/Gatineau - 5 stars
Laura - 2022-06-30
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.

Pierre 2022-06-25
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!

Kayak + wilderness in the city = magic - 5 stars
Sachiko 2021-08-20
Eccolands Park - We have rented kayaks in Ottawa before but the distinct advantage of Riverview Mobile is its variety of launch sites. We left from Eccolands Park and travelled about 3 km south on the Rideau River before branching off east on a winding and secluded creek. A wonderful discovery! It was hard to believe we were still in the city. The 3-hour rental enabled an unhurried and thoroughly enjoyable excursion. Excellent value for the money, and the owner-operator was very personable. A 5-star experience.

Eccolands Park - Owner is so flexible and accessible ! Brings the kayak right to the launch site. You can meet at regular stops or you can arrange your own time and location. This is a great concept if you want to try kayaking or if you don't want to deal with the hassles of owning your own kayak, like storing and transporting it.

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++!!!

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.
