I rented a canoe for my dad and I to take out for the day while he was visiting. It was a highlight of his trip to the Kootenays. We had a 5/5 star experience with smiling otter and with Dan. The gear was in excellent condition and paddling on Slocan lake was stunning. Pick up of the equipment was easy and Dan was helpful with instructions for launching our boat. Dan was so great to chat to and very knowledgeable about the paddling and overnighting in the area. I highly recommend renting from Smiling Otter Canoe and Kayak.

Despite this, Daniel took hours out of his day to go... read more
Daniel was awesome - very accommodating to our boat preferences and super knowledgeable about the area, clear and patient in his communication and overall a great experience.
My experience with Smiling Otter was great! From my initial phone call to when we hit the lake. Daniel was an absolute gem! He answered all my questions thoroughly and when I told him that we would be in the area for a couple days, he even provided some tips of places we could check out while there. The extra info he provided made our trip through BC even more memorable. I am really thankful we were able to hit the lake mid October. Spending a day out on the water, with such beautiful fall weather was something special for m... read more
