Belcarra Paddling Center, Takaya

Been here a few times for kayak rentals. I like that overnight parking passes are included and that there's plenty of parking around. Everything I've rented has been clean and in good condition and the staff is friendly and helpful. I'd say it's just a bit on the pricey side.

Friendly service, good pricing and easy to book compared to other parks on the summer! We an awesome time kayaking around the Indian Arm! We saw marine life like sea otter, sea stars, beautiful scenery and stopped at Deep Cove to go for a walk and grab some doughnuts!

The staff were friendly and helpful, and were flexible with us changing our time day of as we were arriving late. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that despite speaking with several staff on the phone before arriving, no one let us know that there was overnight parking passes available so we ended up having to take a taxi to Belcarra Park. The website also does not mention parking passes. Given that our rental was for 48 hours it would have been nice for them to mention it when I spoke with staff.

Kayaking was so fun! we had to park in the overflow and ended up being late by 20 minutes, but thankfully they still gave us a full 3 hours on the water! Perhaps they wouldn’t be able to do that on a busier day, but we were very grateful. Being on the water was so relaxing. There was a decent amount of boat traffic, which created some waves, but nothing too turbulent. Would definitely go again and for $70 for a double kayak for 3 hours, I’d say it’s worth it!
