[Rentals] [Sales] [Shuttles]

Test, rent or purchase kayaks and accessories at our Goulais Bay location on Lake Superior. We carry top-of-the line new and used British and Canadian kayaks (VCP, Necky), as well as paddling clothing from Kokatat and paddles from Werner. Taking a tour is a great way to test kayaks, and if you decide to buy, we deduct the daily kayak rental fee (included in tour price) from the purchase price!
