I unreservedly recommend and will be using this as my local store. I came for a prescription mask and snorkel prior to my Caribbean trip but the friendly and passionate staff ended up re-igniting my long lost diving addiction. We left the store after signing up for a PADI refresher course. A couple of weeks later we turned up as arranged, fitted out with equipment and headed off for a thoroughly enjoyable refresher at the Etobicoke Olympium pool. Friendly, encouraging and professional staff throughout. 45 minutes later, all safety drills and techniques refreshed and 2 fully prepared divers ready for the Caribbean trip. Not only is the owner Mark professional and friendly, but all the staff are an example of the community of diving. Passionate and professional, knowledgeable and friendly. A special super loud shout out to Peter...the reason that 2 lapsed divers got back beneath the water. I'll attach a picture from our trip...without Aquarius we would never have gone more than a meter down!

Online booking was easy, and upon arriving, there was a person at the booth who checked us in and let the captain know that we had arrived. Captain Howie gave us a great introduction to sailing. The boat was very clean and the weather was perfect that day, with just the right amount of wind. The experience was perfect!

After reaching out to them through e-mail, I was told my request for info about lessons was forwarded to a representative from WSUP, a partner company supposedly based somewhere on Toronto Island. Well, I did not hear back after one week so went looking elsewhere. See my 5 star review for Toronto Island SUP. I think the people at Paddleboard Addict need to update their website so that people are not wasting their time.

Thanks to the wonders of the interwebs, I stumbled upon Paddleboard Addict when I was looking for a…read morespot to take an intro class with a group of friends. I had searched initially on Yelp but options came up short (following this review that will no longer be an issue). I connected with business owner Paul and chatted about prices, location, times and dates (the usual). Paul was very laid back and yet totally professional letting me know that he was flexible and totally willing to accommodate us on our day of choice. Making himself readily available by phone or email we confirmed a date and time and only needed to pay for one person in advance to secure the time slot, which I did via e-mail money transfer (oh the joys and conveniences of internet). When the day came, admittedly we were a touch (45 minutes) tardy, however we made sure to let Paul know we'd be running behind. When we finally arrived Paul was waiting for us happy to have us there. We signed some waivers and paid the rest of our balance owing and walked towards the close by community of floating houses (apparently something no longer allowed to be built in Ontario). Paul was a gracious host and professional guide, teaching us the basics of SUP (Stand-up Paddleboard) in minutes and getting us on our way quick. He took us around the marina and into the open water area teaching us about the ecosystem around us, the clarity of the water, and various wildlife present (didn't get to see the Karp or Muskeye he bragged about - probably a good thing). The entire experience was informative, fun, great exercise and a real joy all the way around! We were also fortunate enough that there weren't other bookings that day so Paul ended up taking us out for another 20-30 minutes over the hour we paid for! We all agreed that this was a great experience and would DEFINITELY come back to try! I HIGHLY recommend you give this place a try or at the very least try your hand at SUP! PS - Lake Ontario is ICE COLD - I didn't fall in BUT daaayyummmmm that ISH is C-O-L-D!

I've been twice this summer - early June in the evening and mid July for 9 AM kayaking. I enjoyed the early morning peace and tranquillity. We were guided by a long line of geese and also saw two egrets along the way. Very peaceful and they make it so easy as they drag the kayaks down to the launch beach. Getting in and especially out of the kayak is challenging. It would be great to have a pole or chair to grab onto to pull yourself up and out. But otherwise, a fabulous not expensive trip away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

They walked us through how to paddle, helped us with life jackets, and assisted us into and out of the water. All staff were reassuring and very friendly, thanks for making it a great experience. We went on a tandem kayak and enjoyed going up and down the beach. The views were fantastic and relaxing. Perfect way to experience the beach in Toronto with the skyline in the background. We felt safe the entire time and would definitely recommend. Perfect summer activity.

Everything was very efficiently ran with great customer service - from booking online and finding the location (they have a tent labelled "Parasail Ontario" right by the dock near the lighthouse at Port Credit), to getting outfitted with the PFD lifejackets, getting on the boat, and the whole experience. The person manning the tent and helping with check-ins was super friendly and helpful. You can choose to leave your shoes or sandals on the dock or boat when you do the parasailing (depending on whether you opt for the "dip toes in the water" experience). Don't carry a large backpack or anything big on the boat, as there isn't a lot of space. Everything was on time and on the dot - so be sure to get there at least 15 minutes early to check in, sign waivers, put on PFDs, and get briefing. There were 9 passengers on the boat, and we took turns doing the parasailing (about 10 minutes for each group of 2 or 3). 2 staff were on board - 1 person to steer the boat as captain, and 1 person to help the passengers get outfitted with harness, work the rope, etc. I loved the upbeat hip-hop music on the boat. We felt very secure and stable while up there... very relaxing and you can have conversations (didn't feel or sound too windy). Great view of the surrounding water and city from up above. If you purchase the video package, you get to hold a GoPro in a waterproof case and mounted on a selfie stick for the duration of your parasail adventure. Then they give you the Micro SD card and an adapter to take home. I totally recommend this adventure experience 100%!

Staff was really nice, we had a beautiful day and they played good tunes! Views were awesome. The only thing I personally didn't like was that there was a long go pro video from our first friend group and then us in the second group. On another parasailing adventure, the staff took photos for us and they were excellent and required 0 effort on our part. Really would have preferred this over making us all do the go pro. But it didn't ruin my experience or anything just wasn't my preference. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!
