Welcome to Deep Cove Kayak Centre! Our waterfront facility has been operating in Deep Cove for over 40 years, located in the heart of Deep Cove and only a half hour from downtown Vancouver.

Deep Cove Kayak Centre specializes in providing people with a positive paddling experience and have always placed an emphasis on safety and skill development. We offer hourly, daily, or weekly rentals, pre-scheduled lesson programs and tours, and weekly fun races. We also love hosting large corporate groups, school groups, community centre and ESL groups.

Indian Arm is a paddler’s paradise! This 18 km fjord/inlet has calm waters and stunning scenery combining to provide a spectacular wilderness escape just minutes from the city. Deep Cove is a charming waterfront community with a great selection of shops, restaurants, pubs, beautiful waterfront parks, and hiking trails.

Our rental house operates full time from April – October, with limited operations during the rest of the year. We have one of the largest rental fleets in Canada with a diverse range of boats for novice, intermediate and advanced paddlers. Our fleet consists of single and double kayaks, stand up paddle boards, surfskis, and dragon boats.
