They have both open single and tandem rentals and you probably do t want longer than 2 hours. The paddle is mostly upstream and not my desire when kayaking. 1.5 paddle up and .5 back. Kind of difficult to stay near the edge when the wake from boats causes sideways waves. The boat didn't have much tracking, but it got us to a huge rookery of. Cormorants. Lots of birds active along the waterway and beautiful homes and marinas. Views of USA and Canada for miles. I think the price for a two hour tandem kayak was 100$ in US It was worth the exercise and beauty.

    This business used to be called Niagara Kayak Rentals but it is under new ownership and they are…read morenow known as Kayaking Niagara. We found their website during a recent stay in the area and booked a 2PM trip from Queenston Heights, which would take us down the river to Niagara-on-the-Lake. We were told that the trip would take 2-3 hours with moderate effort, and we clocked in at 2hrs 20 mins. Registering and paying couldn't have been easier. Just go onto the Kayaking Niagara site and fill out a few forms. We were met at 2PM by Matteo at the Queen's Royal Park gazebo, which would also be the ending point of the excursion. We loaded into the Kayaking Niagara van shortly afterwards and were driven to the put-in spot 5-6 miles away. During the van ride, Matteo pointed out areas of interest and told us about the area. He was great. When we arrived, he provided our kayak, oars, and life vests; and gave advice on how best to navigate the waterway (e.g. paddling is more difficult close to shore, stay on the Canadian side of the river, etc.). Then he pushed our boats into the water and away we went. The kayaks were sturdy, handled well, and had a waterproof compartment for storage. Since it was both Canada Day and 4th of July weekend, the river was very busy with speedboats and jet skis on both sides of the border, making the water very choppy and harder to paddle through. But it was very pretty and we enjoyed seeing the vegetation and large houses dotting the shoreline. At the end of the trip, we navigated our kayaks back into Queen's Royal Park (across from Fort Niagara) and walked through the Artistry at the Lake tents back to our car. A few thoughts. My wife and I are experienced kayakers but this was a bit more challenging than we anticipated. I chalk this up to the boat traffic on the busy holiday weekend. There were some cool things to see, including the sailboats at Smugglers Cove and the waterfront houses in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Kayaking Niagara also does not set a time limit for patrons to be on the water. This means that if you want to keep paddling after you reach the end point, you are more than welcome to stay on the water. There are other options as well so check their website for details. I'd definitely do this again.
