About Escape Tours & Rentals
Explore Ottawa and Gatineau by kayak, SUP (stand-up paddleboard), or bike with Escape Tours & Rentals at our convenient River House location. We moved our original business—Location Escape Paddleboard, Kayak Rentals and Tours from Gatineau to a more convenient location on the shores of the Ottawa River.
We’ve been offering rentals and running tours in Ottawa since 2014 at our sister company Escape Bike Tours and Rentals. We’re passionate about enjoying revitalizing outdoor activities, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
We’re simply in awe of the nature and green spaces we have in our backyard. We love providing opportunities for locals and visitors alike to uncover the magic of this region.
Journey down the Ottawa River past Ottawa-Gatineau’s most beautiful landmarks on a kayak or SUP (stand-up paddleboard).
Prefer to adventure on land? Get on a bike and pedal through the city’s coolest neighbourhoods and landmarks, enjoying some of the region’s 800 km of bike paths!
