Deep Cove Kayak, located in the picturesque Deep Cove community of North Vancouver, is Vancouver’s premier paddling destination, operating for over 40 years just 30 minutes from downtown. Nestled along the serene Indian Arm fjord, they offer an extensive range of services, including rentals of one of Canada’s largest fleets of high-quality single and double kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), surf skis, and canoes, suitable for all experience levels. Their acclaimed kayak school provides lessons from introductory to advanced levels, alongside guided tours like the popular three-hour Deep Cove Explorer, which highlights local history, wildlife, and stunning mountain scenery. They also host weekly Tuesday Night Races—the largest paddlesport event series in North America—and cater to groups with team-building and corporate event options.

With a focus on safety, skill development, and fostering outdoor connections, Deep Cove Kayak has built a reputation for exceptional experiences since its founding in 1981. The rental season runs full-time from April to October, with limited operations and daily winter kayak tours available year-round. Beyond paddling, they operate Coast Outdoors, a retail store with paddling gear, and Deep Cove Collective, a gift shop featuring local artisan goods and real fruit ice cream. The surrounding Deep Cove area complements the experience with charming shops, eateries, parks, and hiking trails, making it an ideal wilderness escape.
