Social Night Automated Registration Form

If you have stamps on your Frequent Paddlers Card, then enter your access code here and simply choose an available boat and reserve it.  If you don’t have a  Frequent Paddlers Card, please call our office at (416) 203-2277 to reserve or purchase a  Frequent Paddlers Card over the phone.

Want to paddle with a guide and other paddlers? Our Group Social Paddle & BBQ nights are  made for you. Each Wed, Thur and Fri nights, enjoy paddling into a setting sun with a barbecue (burgers and veggie burgers) awaiting your arrival back on the mainland. The money raised from the BBQ donations goes toward the cost of food and charities. It's a great time to get to know others and future paddling buddies. Kayaks depart our docks at 6:30pm, so please try to arrive 30 minutes early to sign in, change, prepare your boat, and get onto the water. Having taken an evening beginner kayak course with us or having equivalent skills will have you ready to paddle these evenings. Tandem kayaks are available if you have a friend and are less experienced. Please note our Sept Group Paddles will leave at 6:00pm. 

1.5 Hr Stand Up Paddleboard Group Paddles/BBQ will run every Wed. all summer departing at 6:45pm (Sept 6:15pm).

Buy a Frequent Paddler Card (FPC) and save! The most economical way to enjoy the Social Paddles is to choose your personal Frequent Paddler Card that best suits your timetable and budget. The FPC helps you get out on the water more often to enjoy paddling with others like yourself! FPCs never expire and make great gifts.  We keep track of them on your personalized database, so they cannot be shared.

Prerequisite: Previous paddling experience is required for this program.

Description: Due to the unique nature and requirements of a night paddling program, tighter ratios of guide-to-participants and additional required equipment ensures the safety and quality of this specialized excursion.  Whether it’s the scare of a beaver tail slapping the water in the dark, viewing the Toronto skyline at night or counting the stars over the Toronto Islands, come and discover the peacefulness and beauty of paddling Toronto at night.

Morning Social Paddle

Good Morning! In response to the many inquiries about a morning paddling program, we are pleased to continue our Morning Social Paddles. In the same spirit as our very popular evening BBQ paddles, Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre is now offering guided morning paddles to enjoy the morning sun and the opportunity to be first on the water. Join one of our “early to rise” instructors on a leisurely paddle to the Toronto Islands, Ontario Place and any other location of interest BEFORE the regular water traffic starts! 6:30-8am.
