Paddle the Canadian Rockies

Get the Right Gear Before You Hit the Water

A great paddling day starts before you reach the river. The right boat, safety gear, clothing, dry storage, and camping setup can make the difference between a stressful outing and a smooth adventure.

Green Tongue Adventures offers equipment rentals in Canmore for paddlers, families, groups, river travellers, and outdoor adventurers who want reliable gear without buying everything upfront. You can rent equipment for a single day, a weekend, a weekly trip, or a larger expedition.

Our team understands local waterways, mountain weather, river travel, and the practical details that matter when planning a paddling trip. Tell us where you’re going, how long you’ll be out, and what your group needs. We’ll help you get properly outfitted.

What’s Included

Rental Support That Helps You Feel Prepared

When you rent from Green Tongue Adventures, you’re not just picking up equipment and guessing your way through the rest. Our team can help you understand what you’re renting, what gear pairs well with your route, and what details to consider before heading out.

Depending on your rental package, equipment may include boats, paddles, oars, PFDs, helmets, throw bags, bailers, drysuits, camping gear, kitchen systems, group shelters, dry storage, or other trip essentials.

Every trip is different, so the final gear setup depends on your route, water type, group size, experience level, and trip length.

Trip Planning

Not Sure What Gear You Need? We’ll Help.

Choosing paddle gear can be confusing, especially when you’re dealing with mountain weather, cold water, moving current, shuttle timing, and group logistics. That’s where local support makes a real difference.

A calm lake paddle may only need a simple setup. A river trip may require helmets, throw bags, drysuits, proper PFDs, dry storage, and a stronger safety plan. A multi-day expedition may also need camp systems, shelters, kitchen gear, and shuttle support.

Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll help you think through the practical details before you leave.
