What about Weather & Winds?
On windy days we work with the renter and their abilities. Canoe Renters are shuttled via our pontoon boat to start and end at our Island dock. Paddling within the islands is ideal for most days where the winds are broken. There is no extra fee for this but may require a bit more patience on your part as we shuttle guests back and forth. We thank you for your understanding as we try to keep everyone safe.
As for thunderstorms, heavy rain or extreme winds, we do our best to give you as much notice as possible if we need to cancel rentals. We offer a full refund at the time of cancelation. Before heading down to our site, please check our website homepage for the latest updates.
Cancelation Policy
To cancel your reservation and receive a full refund, you must EMAIL ask@paddletoronto.com by 5:00pm the DAY PRIOR to your rental. Please do not leave a voice message.
