Rocky Point Kayak Review

Great scenery, kayak rental, water park for the kids, with Pajo's fish and chips and Rocky Point creamy makes for a great place for the whole family or a date night

Our family has rented kayaks several times from here in order to get a bit closer to the seals bathing on the floating piles of logs in the summer. The staff has always been helpful and professional and their instruction was clear and simple. The equipment is in great condition and the pricing is reasonable! I especially recommend this activity for families!

The staff are friendly and helpful and the equipment is in top shape.

Great friendly staff. They even push you out for you while you're in the kayak and I am not a small dude. Rates were the same as others so that was nice.

Nice equipment but we should have been shown a decent paddle stroke.

Had a great experience renting a kayak here. The office staff were super friendly. The dock-side staff were friendly, helpful and hard working. In addition to all of this, the prices are very reasonable. Would definitely rent from here again.

Excellent place to make kayaking, with a lot of place to practice, good staff, and sea lions!

Staff are just awesome. Super helpful. Kayaks are well built with foot controlled rudders that make it easy to steer. Had a blast kayaking with friends.

My son has gone to paddle camp here 2 years in a row. It is the best set camp in the tri-cities.

Nice staff and the material was great. We did kayak and had a pretty good time

The staff and equipment were top notch. Great, speedy service with knowledgeable people, reliable kayaks, and a cool place to paddle about. 10/10 would recommend!

Good price
Friendly and helpful staff

Staff there are amazing. Lessons are incredibly helpful and well taught. I was new to kayaking and felt very comfortable with the instructors. I got my stuff stuck in a locker and the staff worked with me to help resolve the situation. Really an awesome team they've got.

Calm ocean water - great for beginners! There don't seem any jet skiers around that can stir up waves. I have tried many spots in the lower mainland and BC interior but this is the spot I get the most paddling with the best price too. The water is not so clean - it motivates you to not fall into it.

Friendly, affordable and wonderful! Went for an evening paddle with friends - great service ... and you get a coupon for free ice-cream to top off the night!

Fantastic SUP lessons, from basics to more advanced tricks, and a lot of fun

Great people and super friendly. We had a few first timers and the staff make it comfortable and easy to learn how to kayak. We got into the water easy and we all made it back without anyone falling into the water! We even got to see some sea lions.

Nice view good prices and great amenities in the area

Recently went here for a work function. The instructors were extremely informative and helpful, making the whole process very straightforward and enjoyable.

While I didnt have to pay for my kayak trip, the rates are very reasonable, and are well worth the very peaceful and scenic kayak ride that awaits you in and around the rocky point area. Definitely recommend this.

Stupid system set up for online rentals?
Simply add a link to your email confirmation rather then having to copy to clip board
Some aren't computer savvy

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Equipment is clean and good quality. Easy to book and no delays.

Busy little park. Lots of people and families.

The staff here are really helpful and fair. I was here twice. The first time I book a kayak not knowing that you needed some course in order to kayak solo and they were able to find me a paddleboat instead so I could go into the water with my friends. The second time it was raining and they allowed me to cancel my reservation with no penalty due to the weather. The staff here also explain how to paddle if you're a first-timer and where to go.

Prices are fair and had nice kayaks for rental (they also offer other rentals ie: paddle boards and canoes). Staff was friendly. Only complaint is their online rental agreement you sign on the iPad lags a lot and can barely take a signature. Took me 30 seconds to sign my name. Told the staff and she told me I just had to go slow... -1 star for that.

TOP NOTCH! Enjoyed both lessons with Rocky Point and their outstanding staff! Thank you for an excellent kayaking experience!!

Best service and nicest people inside and outside the office. Definitely recommend to everyone.

I love kayaking and Rocky Point Kayak is one of the greatest places to rent a kayak. Staff are friendly and kayaks are good.
Prices are like other rental places not cheap and not expensive either.

Great staff! I love how hospitable they are. Only suggestion I'd have is check your equipment before you rent, as they don't always have all the pieces.

These guys were awesome! We turned up without a booking on a busy day and they got us out within an hour! The forms were a little lengthy to fill out but all in all quick process. If you've not kayaked before be aware that there is no induction, it's pretty much off you go, so great for us but something to be aware of! So so so much fun

Found this place after a very disappointing experience at Deep Cove Canoe and Kayak....never looked back. Super friendly and helpful. Have taken all my visitors out to paddle. Staff are always pleasant, courteous and helpful. The moonlight paddle in September was so wonderful, informative and safe. I don't bother going anywhere but here for the past six years. What a find.

Maybe overcrowded during the weekends. There is a lack of parking lots on the parking close to the park but you may find some room for your car if you go down the road towards Murray and Columbia street

Always a great time at Rocky Point! We've been here many times for canoeing and paddle boarding. Its a beautiful inlet and you can usually see seals and jellyfish. Great little ice cream shop and the fish n chips place is amazing!! I moved away from BC but I always make sure to come here when I visit.

Great place with informative, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Located perfectly to get out on the water and make the most of the day, with lots to see from the seal colony to paddling around the mud flats at high tide.

Spend some time enjoying some of the great spots Port Moody has to offer! Brewers Row and a two-hour SUP or kayak paddle in Burrard Inlet! Join us each Thursday evening and selected Friday evenings from July to August. Get on the water with ..

Great place to have fun with friends and family... love this kind of activities like kayaking or paddle board and this place is sooo perfect for it...!

Nothing better than experiencing the outdoors than on the water. Jamie and his team will ensure you are set up to have an amazing time whether that be on a SUP or kayak. They also do amazing charity work and are very active in our community.

Great place to rent kayaks! Everyone is friendly. Before going I would recommend making a reservation and completing the wavier online before going, or do it on your phone while you wait. Much faster to do it on your own device then waiting for the IPad they provide.

We had a great time over here. It's very convenient to get to by skytrain. The staff were extremely friendly and laid back.

Will hopefully be back there before end of the summer

Very helpful, friendly stuff. Gave us the instructions we needed before we took out the kayaks.

Today we had the worst experience with Rocky Point Kayak. This was our first time to go kayaking and we were so happy because it was recommended by a friend. Everything went well until my wife was struggling to pedal because the wind was blowing so hard. Of course no warning from the staff even though we told them This was our first time. My wife and my daughter(4 years old) stranded on the beach area and I was trying to help but I had my son with me, so I went back asking for help. One of the staff was actually getting ready to help my wife, but he said the owner did not agree with this. I was told there would be a "CHARGE" to "HELP SOMEONE". Yes!! a CHARGE to HELP SOMEONE in TROUBLE!!!. This one guy though he said he was off work and volunteered to help my wife. However, the reception desk still wanted to charge me because someone was sent there and I might be charged for damage on the kayak because of my wife STRANDED on the beach. I couldn't believe it. I asked the reception what happened in the past when someone got stranded and all he said it never happened before. Hard to believe!!! Based on my experience, if you struggle from the beginning, might as well stop. Aside from a business, I understand, but from human being point of view. They did not even ask and asking if my wife and daughter were ok. I want to thank you the guy who helped me.

Updated: good thing the owner called me the next day and apologized. I didn't get charged so it's good thing. It seems there is some disconnection between the owner and the employees. Too bad. If you are a beginner try it out first.

Great place to rent a water vessel and explore the inlet.

super friendly staff and I really appreciated the guy who took his time to review safety and proper usage of the kayaks. just a note - do not kayak or paddleboard on a very windy day, which we did. it turned to be very dangerous. heading back towards the shore was a struggle as we were kayaking against the current. it was also very gloomy. im surprised the kayak rental place didnt call it a day earlier as the weather condition wasn't optimal. FYI, double kayak was 57 dollars total including tax and booking fee

Great place to rent kayak and paddle around. Staff are awesome

Friendly staff, they also clean the used vests. Great experiences:)

We went for the paddle boarding lesson for the first time on the BC Day long weekend. The instructor, Curtis, was a very friendly but thorough teacher. He made sure everyone was comfortable and confident on the board according to the challenge you want to have. I chose the safest board of course!

The water was calmer towards the end of our lesson but even with the wind it was still manageable. I didn't fall in the water at all so that's a bonus!

Highly recommended for people of all fitness levels! Great way to enjoy the inlet, the scenery and the wildlife. We saw so many seals!

Did the Friday and Saturday Date Night kayak rental for my first time on a kayak. Had a lot of fun despite not being very comfortable in the actual kayak, probably due to me being tall. The water was nice to float around in and wasn't overly crowded or anything. It's a great area to spend your evening in! And had some ice cream from Rocky Point right after as well to top it all off.

The staff was helpful and everything went smoothly. Had an issue with my kayak that I was able to get fixed quickly. Very recommended especially if it's your first time trying out a kayak!

Just an FYI the kids that work there don't tell you the difference between a long skinny kayak and the short squat ones. So make sure you Google it before you go out or you'll have a very wet day

Pretty good rates, easy staff to deal with and they have little lockers for your stuff.

Great staff and equipment to rent for a day on the water. Be sure to book online ahead of time to make sure you get out there with no worries. Even have kids size jackets if you have little ones.

Best place to go paddle boarding, kayaking, or canoeing! A 5 minute paddle away from some friendly seals, and other neat wildlife like eagles and hawks chilling out on the log booms! If you do a day trip you can paddle up the Indian Arm towards deep cove or twin islands. Sweet views!

Cordial and professional staff, combined with reasonable prices and a great area for kayaking, make this place a winner.

So much fun...paddle board or kayak...great location and great staff. Super fun on a sunny afternoon.

Excellent experience with all the Rocky Point Kayak staff. When we arrived, the office made changes to accommodate us and at the shore, the other team carried the kayaks down for us, gave safety tips, ideas as to where to go and launched us. They were also there to help us back on shore. I would recommend this to anyone as a lovely way to spend a few hours on the water.

Great location to go kayaking and the friendly well educated staff will help you regardless of skill level, also dont forget to check out Rocky Point Ice Cream while your in the area.

Fantastic staff, super nice and friendly. The water are really calm, tons of seals and jellyfish around. There are also fun stuff to do around once you're off the kayak (cute park, breweries). Highly recommended!

A very fun experience, we never get tired of kayaking and paddle boarding especially with the great staff. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. The equipment is always in great condition, and they treat their customers very kindly.

It's a little expensive but super fun. Good deal if you're planning an afternoon with friends and want to hang out at rocky Point, picnic and eat yummy concession and do something active

Friendly staff and nice kayaks! Definitely will recommend!

Great staff and top notch customer service! Not to mention amazing location!

Nice informative staff, kayaking the Bay is super fun.

Friendly staff and a fun location for kayaking and SUP.

We've been looking around at multiple kayak rental places but no one was able to accommodate due to the new online reservation systems and many weeks in advance already booked.

I called RPK and spoke to Colby who not only was able to find me a spot today for two people, but was able to reserve it without issue despite the fact they were fully booked for the day.

We showed up and the staff were super friendly and professional. The rental was very average priced at $20/hr, with a minimum 2 hr rental. The guide at the boat launch was great as he explained how things worked in the kayak for my sister.

The weather was amazing, the water wasn't that cold, and the current was calm if not seldom.

Overall, great job by everyone. Would recommend to anyone.
