My 3 daughters, my son and I, rented 5 kayaks for just 1 hour. Even if you'd better do a rental for the day (far more advantageous), we had lots of fun. The place is fantastic at the merging of the North and the South Thompson rivers. … More You may fight a little against the stream, but if you're lucky enough, you might meet a couple of bald eagles as we did 😍🤩 Anyway, if you're passing by Riverside Park Beach, go for a tour on a kayak or a paddle, it's worth the stop!

One of the few things to do in Kamloops, would recommend if you’re looking to add some adventure to your summer ! Great views of Kamloops from the river, very calm, relaxing and enjoyable water.

I went to the main shop today but there was no one in there and the office phone number didn't work.
However, my son eagerly wanted to do kayaking today, so I tried to visit another shop, which was located in Riverside Beach, and I … More could meet a beautiful lady, hailey.
She was very helpful and very kind. She was willing to help me, even though I am not good at communicating in English.
I will definitely visit this shop again because of her.
Thank you very much!

I came to Kamloops Water Sport Rentals looking to spend my day on the river. They set me up with a kayak, some local knowledge and tips on where to go, and briefed me well so I felt safe taking the kayak solo with limited experience. All … More in I had an amazing day on the river, and it was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them, and plan to visit again next time I'm in Kamloops. Their location makes it super easy too, launching and recovering right on the waterfront, so you don't need to worry about hauling a rental around somewhere, but are given the option to if you so choose!

Glad we found this hidden gem!
Everything was fully explained to us before kayaking.
The prices were also pocket friendly.
Had a good experience. -
Had a great afternoon. Me and husband have never kayaked before. Kevin was very open and welcoming and prices were so reasonable. He gave us a short tutorial and tips on paddling. He told us tandem would be difficult for first timers and … More he was so right. Me and my husband just could not get it in sync and kept hitting the shore. I was also scared of going in the middle of river coz of strong current. We had so much fun though. I would totally recommend them to anyone who comes to kamloops.
The only other thing was finding the place. We drove around 4 5 times before we parked at a distance and asked some pedestrians. There was no signage outside the house. Felt like trespassing on someones property.
Other than that, great place ! -
Amazing service. We went two days in a row. First to rent tandem kayaks, then paddle boards. Kevin told us a few great places to explore. We went and they didn’t disappoint! We will be back. Thank you so much for making a great trip even … More better!

We travelled from Saskatchewan. Wanted to try out a few water sports.

Beautiful location as well. Thank you so much. Would definitely come back again on another trip.

Traveled from Prince George last summer and we were welcomed with the kindest service Ive ever had. Kevin gave us a great destination to go and paddle. Johnson Lake. It was remote and an hour and a half drive but if you want a great pattle … More board trip.. that is the lake to see! One of the most beautiful lakes and trips I've been on. You dont need to look for another rental place. Trust me, the reviews say it all. You wont regret meeting him. Kevin is the man! 🤟 Happy holidays buddy!

We had an awesome experience in Kamloops and thanks to Kevin and his team for that.

Kayak is one of the memorable moments in our trip. He walked us through how to Master it and encouraged us to cross the bridge which is far from the starting point for an amateur.
The price is 20$ per hour and 60$ per day. Thanks Kevin … More for the wonderful experience
Great customer service
Kelly the manager was very helpful at riverside location. She removed our fears of Kayaking for the first time.
Amazing. Experience
Got a chance to go kayaking … just a random visit to riverside park and decided to go for it …it was my first time and I was so scared. But Hailey was so amazing and supportive. She guided us and shared some tips and tricks. Super friendly ppl.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…
A Great Find
A good selection of boats, including all the equipment, including life jackets. The member of staff was friendly and informative, and the pricing competitive. We loved spending an hour on the river in one of the tandem kayaks.
Made our trip!
We rented 3 kayaks from Kevin and his family and the service was second to none! We had them for 3 days while we were staying on right in the river. We only had a car so it was conveniently I jump in from there beach and paddle to our place. When we were done we were having some issues with getting them back up river and for a very small fee Kevin and his son came with the sea-doo and picked them up! It made our trip to have them at our place for the 3 days and the price was very reasonable. Thank you guys so much!!
Very accessible and friendly service!
Very accessible and friendly service! My friends and I wanted to try paddleboards for a day and this company was the perfect fit. Thanks a lot and we will see you again!
Great time
We rented the tandem kayak for two hours and had a blast. The rental booth has an easy, accessible vibe that made me want to come back. Best wishes to this great little business
Terrific opportunity to access river without hassle of ownership!
I have lived in Kamloops for over 40 years and have never taken advantage of all the Thompson River has to offer with respect to canoeing and kayaking. In large part because I did not want the hassle of owning, storing or transporting canoes and kayaks.
With Kamloops Water sports I can now enjoy the river with a walk over to Riverside Park or the River Street site and be on the river in 15 minutes.
It is a great service at a great price.
Check it out!
Great friendly experience!
Very personable and lovely people. The paddle boards are amazing and worked out great. They even threw in an extra pump in case the electric one did not work. I would rent again for sure! Really impressed that the kids help out and run the show! They even helped us take our pregnancy announcement pictures:)!

We had so much fun on the beautiful lake with our boards we will definitely be recommending to all who crave adventure and spectacular service!
