Kyuquot Kayak Rentals
Kayaking without a guide in Kyuquot is recommended only for experienced west coast paddlers. Not joking. As an independent paddler, you need strong on-water skills, great incident prevention judgment and management abilities, and competence with navigation, weather interpretation, and radio communications. If that's you, then we're happy to rent you one of our kayaks for your own trip in the area.Advantages of Renting a Kayak from us in Kyuquot
Before renting your kayak in the city or bringing your own kayak, consider that:- you can save at least 2 days of rental costs (travel days)
- you don't have the hassle and cost of transporting a kayak to and from this remote area, and can instead conveniently arrive by float plane or car pool without worrying about a pyramid of kayaks on your roof!
- you won't damage your own boat while driving over the gravel roads to Fair Harbour, or loading and unloading it from a boat
- when you're done using it, we rinse, clean, and dry the gear - no salty sandy kayak and associated gear (PFD, skirt, paddle, pump, paddle float, throw bag) goes back in or on your car
- if you're continuing to other vacation activities on northern Vancouver Island, you don't have to worry about the safety and security of having a kayak on your car roof (and the stinky wet gear inside).
We suggest you try booking your kayak early as availability may be limited.When making your reservation, we will need confirmation that you are an experienced kayaker with basic training in wet exits, capsize recovery methods (self and assisted rescues), strokes, navigation, and safety communications. If you are new to kayaking, we will otherwise need assurance that you will always be paddling with someone more experienced who is clearly taking responsibility for your on-water safety as the "leader".
The Kyuquot area is spectacular, but also remote with rugged shorelines and often challenging weather and sea conditions that can change rapidly.
To rent from us, you must read and sign a release of liability form for kayak rentals and provide your credit card number in case of any significant damage or loss of the kayak and associated gear while in your care.
