Please note that it does require some experience to paddle in the 1000 Islands and venturing off on your own comes with a handful of risks. There are busy boating channels, cruise ships, freighters, strong currents, fast changing weather and 1,864 islands to get lost in. Even if you have been paddling for several years, it is common for paddlers to run into unexpected trouble. We recommend you have a certification course before renting equipment for your own kayaking adventures in the 1000 Islands.

If you do not have a certification course, our guided tours will prove very worthwhile with the added safety and detailed knowledge of the river’s vibrant ecology, fascinating history and unique geology. Our ‘local flavours’ island lunch is incredible and our guides can take you right into the hidden beaches and marshlands that you may otherwise miss on your own.

Self Guided Weekend Rentals

For self guided camping trips we can help outfit you with high end boats and related paddling gear. Detailed maps are included however paddling in the 1000 Islands comes with its own set of rules. We recommend you have a certification course and are proficient in navigation, kayak rescue and wilderness camping before embarking on your own trip through the 1000 Islands. Many paddlers begin their trip by registering in our full day tour. This gives you the opportunity to see many of the highlight points of interest, have an area safety briefing and get detailed advice from our guides about potential routes. After a full day on the water with our staff, you will be in good shape to rent our boats for however many days you wish to explore the 1000 Islands.
