Paddle Niagara Ltd. operates from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, offering guided paddle experiences and rentals on the Niagara River and nearby waters. Paddle Niagara Ltd. provides a range of activities including Public Kayak Tours, SUP Private Lessons, SUP Public Lessons, Paddle Board Rentals, Sunset Paddle, Full Moon Paddle, and Socials for Locals. Public Kayak Tours combine paddling instruction with a historical overview of Niagara-on-the-Lake and include 1.5 hours on the water with opportunities to stretch legs. SUP Private Lessons and SUP Public Lessons are one-hour sessions that cover water safety, paddle techniques, balance, and board control to help participants develop core skills. Paddle Board Rentals allow guests to explore independently, whether trying stand up paddleboarding for the first time or enjoying a familiar pastime. Sunset Paddle experiences guide paddlers into twilight for scenic views of the river as the sun sets. Full Moon Paddle sessions offer nighttime paddling under moonlight for a distinctive evening outing. Socials for Locals create relaxed SUP sessions for community connection and casual group paddling. All activities include gear appropriate to the session type and focus on safe operation and basic instruction as described in each offering.
Bookings can accommodate individuals, pairs, and small groups, and the company supplies necessary boards, life jackets, and safety briefings to support on-water confidence for each scheduled session.
