About Campbell River Kayaks
Campbell River Kayaks is a small rental outfit on Perkins Road, right where the Campbell River meets the ocean. Its dock sits on the estuary, so paddlers step into a kayak or onto a board and push off straight from the rental office with no car-topping or launch fees.
The fleet covers single and double sea kayaks plus stand-up paddle boards. Rates are posted by the block: two, four or eight hours, with a double kayak priced for two paddlers sharing. The estuary is sheltered and full of birdlife, which makes it an easy first paddle for families and beginners, while stronger paddlers can work out toward the open water of Discovery Passage. The shop stays open into the evening in summer for sunset paddles, and it advises going out around mid to high tide when the water is deepest.
Along with rentals, the business can connect visitors with local fishing charters and places to stay, which helps if you are planning a few days in town. For a simple, low-cost way to get on the water in Campbell River without booking a full guided tour, this is one of the easiest options.
