4 reviews for Adventure Rents Canoes & Kayaks
We just walked up and rented a kayak and it cost $60 for 2 hours for a 2 person kayak. The water was relatively low in late July so there wasn't current at all so we paddled all the way and also got stuck in a few places because of the shallow water. It was very calm and serene. We even saw a family of ducks with the mother teaching the babies to dive under water.
They provide you with lifejackets and dry bags as well. If their employees leave before you return from your trip, you just leave them on the edge of the water and drive away. The road is rocks/dirt only so no low-riding cars or thin tread.

We spent a great two hours floating down the Gualala River in our kayaks. The price is pretty decent considering it's only a 3 mile course and the water is pretty mild. They warned us it would be quick if we moved and encouraged us to stop on some beaches to eat, walk around, and enjoy the scenery. We even met a friendly river otter along the way! When we reached the windy end of the river (where it meets the ocean) we just left our kayaks there and they assured us they trusted us and would come pick them up later. It was a nice little afternoon and I recommend this great outfitter!
Six of us walked in without reservations on a busy holiday weekend and they managed to accommodate us. I kayaked the Gualala River last year, so I knew the weather is warmer upriver. My friend, however, was unconvinced. As we walked up to the downstream pickup/dropoff, she yelled at me and said "You said it would be warmer!" I looked at the guy helping us into our kayaks and said "Would you please tell her it's warmer upriver?" and he didn't skip a beat, just turned to her and said "It's warmer upriver."
I was wondering how many other things I could get him to say.... "Would you please tell my friend he's being an asshole?" "You're being an asshole." "Would you please tell my friend he drinks too much?" "You drink too much." "Would you please tell my friend she's being a bitch?" "You're being a bitch." Love this guy!
If you find yourself anywhere in the area, go to this place and then kayak the river! On non-holiday weekends (I think) they drop you off upriver and then you just drift down. We started off downstream, paddled our way up to the rope swing, and then drifted back down. At this time of year there's very little current, but you also have to get out at some points and pull your kayak over the rocks because it's so shallow.

Fantastic place to rent kayaks. It was so easy to find; located close to the grocery store wich was a def plus. the river is very calm.
Only thing I wish they would have done is maybe teach first timers before they go in the kayaks. This guy who gave us our kayak pretty much jus handed us the paddles n pushed into the water. I had no idea what to do n neither did my fiance. It was fun to learn ourselves but it wouldve been a great help if someone had showed us or even told us how to kayak.
The rates are very reasonable and customer service was fabolous.
