We just did not have the same experiences everybody else and I feel so bad. I wanted to paddle Lake Eklutna and I contacted AK Paddlesports along with a few others. The price was right and the lady I talked to on the phone was really nice. We set up a time for our excursion. I was running a little bit late and let them know. They dropped off the kayaks at the drop off area. Which is about a quarter of a mile to the shoreline. These two 5'4" ladies had to attempt to drag the kayaks all the way down to the shoreline. The best part is the return., A family from Texas helped us get the kayaks to the pick up place. And the guy who met us to pick up the kayaks didn't offer to help, watched us the entire time and told our friends to load up the kayaks in the back of his truck. Customer service poor although everything else was awesome read more

I want to thank Chris and I really recommend his business to everyone. Chris was very responsive and very accommodating to our rental with quick delivery and pick up. We ended up drove to Mirror Lake one hour earlier than 1 PM our appointment time but Chris was accommodating and delivered I will 2 double kayaks around noon and pick them up one hour later. We had a great time there. We saw another customer who were waiting for their equipment to be pick up the same time. We highly recommend Chris for any of your equipment rentals With very reasonable prices and excellent customer service. read more

I was in town visiting family and decided to visit Mirror Lake. It was a beautiful afternoon and so I was glad to see this vendor renting kayaks. There were 5 of us; a 3 year old and 4 adults. We rented one double and 2 single kayaks. The vendor was very pleasant, the boats and safety gear were in good condition. We had a good time on the water. Will definitely rent again . read more

I've lived in Alaska all my life and have never gone kayaking. Found Ak Paddlesports online and decided to rent a couple kayaks from them.
