About Lazy Day Raft Rentals

Lazy Day Raft Rentals in Calgary, Alberta provides accessible river and paddle adventures for visitors and locals. The company rents rafts for leisurely floats, Memba Pro kayaks for mid-distance touring, and a range of accessory rentals including personal flotation devices, paddles, and coolers. Rentals are available for all-day use, with typical river floats lasting two to four hours depending on water flow. A pre-float shuttle offers a convenient 30-minute ride to the launch point; the shuttle welcomes all ages and dogs and includes a free parking pass for customers. E-bike tours add a land-based option, from an Instagram-focused city tour to the combined Ride ’n’ Raft experience that pairs a scenic bike along the Bow River with a relaxed rafting float and picnic lunch.

Lazy Day Raft Rentals operates from a pickup location near the Calgary Curling Club, making equipment drop-off and pick-up straightforward. Safety and convenience guide the service offering: raft rentals include necessary gear for safe use, and individual PFD and paddle rentals are available for private kayakers or rafters who need extras. Cooler rentals help visitors keep drinks and snacks cold on the river.

The company’s straightforward rental options, clear trip durations, and shuttle logistics make planning simple for families, groups, and solo adventurers. By focusing on reliable equipment, convenient pickup, and inclusive shuttle policies, Lazy Day Raft Rentals delivers accessible outdoor experiences on Calgary’s rivers. Reservation and seasonal availability vary with weather and river conditions; checking current hours and booking early is advised for peak times.
