I had a fabulous day, learned new skills and met incredible people. Adam was very helpful helping me determine what experience to choose, and Sharon was a highly skilled teacher of canoe skills. i will be back, with friends!

Had a great time canoeing the Paris to Brant Park route. Pretty relaxing trek with a few small swifts to break it up. Shout out to Alex for the launch and return shuttle support.

This was a fantastic way to enjoy the sun! Took adult children and grand children and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves and agreed we will definitely return.
The 2 staff members that helped us were very polite and helpful.
Thank you very much. 😃

Our family went on the lazy river tubing experience. It was well organized and the guys working were super! Would definitely go again.

I bought a canoe from Jamie for the family for Christmas. It was as advertised and available for a very reasonable price. Communications with Jamie were prompt and informative. Meeting up at his shop to view the canoe and close the deal was smooth and seamless. He even recommended some places nearby to have lunch before hitting the road again.

We booked the guided Bruce Trail hike with Grand experiences. It was the waterfall route in the Ancaster Hamilton area. Sharon was our hike guide and she was wonderful. She was knowledgeable about this part of Bruce trail and gave us a number of tips and suggestions for future hikes. The packed lunches arranged by Jamie and his team were delicious and shuttle back to our car was seamless.
All in all a great experience that I would highly recommend.

A very unique and pleasant experience for me and my family canoeing the Grand River today! We rented a Canoe from Grand Experiences. It was spacious and new. When we arrived at the destination, there was a shuttle which brought us back to our cars. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The life jackets should be cleaned/replaced with new ones though!

If you've never enjoyed the sights, sounds and soul-soothing beauty of the Grand River from the vantage point of a kayak or canoe, I highly recommend you try it. And if - like those in our small group - it's your first time or it's been a while and you're feeling 'rusty,' a guided trip is the way to go. Under the expert direction of Jamie Kent, owner of Grand Experiences in Paris Ontario, we got the chance to practice our paddling skills through mostly calm waters (but a few shallow faster moving areas for some excitement!) while benefiting from Jamie's extensive knowledge of the Grand River watershed. Thank you for a great kayak trip and enjoyable time on the river!

Jamie and his team were superb! We rented kayaks and a canoe from them and they were super accommodating to us also bringing two of our own boats. There were no holes to jump, just sweet sailing with booking here. Amazing job setting us up, were ready when we started and there when we finished. As a guide for over 7 years, I highly recommend this company!
