Rent a raft or kayak to venture down the bow river! Perfect activity for a warm summer's day.
One of our favourite things to do with friends and/or family on a sunny summer day is rent a raft from The Paddle Station (not very far from the accommodation at all) and float down the Bow River. Once you float to St Patrick’s Island you just give them the raft back and don’t have to worry about transporting it back. We then walk over to the Simmon’s building for either a burger and bear on Charbar’s rooftop terrace or some delicious food/pastries from Sidewalk Citizen and a coffee from Phil & Sebastian’s

The Paddle Station provides all the equipment ready at the side of the river, including required safety gear (pfd/life jacket, paddles and safety kit); they even give you a safety talk - all for free with your booking AND take it all from you at the end of your float.
Turn key operation that will rent you rafts or paddle boards, PFDs, and everything you need. They will pick you up after you float downtown, and return you back to your starting point. Great for a hot day.
