We have been coming to rent rafts from this place for years and we have always gotten a great experience. We recently went again and rented one of their rafts to take advantage of some really warm spring weather. We originally rented out one of their DIY rafts as they were reasonably priced. When we arrived to check in and sign their waivers, the owner was gracious enough to upgrade us to the fully inflated rafts located in the baker park area. This really worked out for us as we were going to launch our float at Bowness Park anyways, which was basically right beside baker park boat launch. Their rental boats are nice and clean. The boats themselves are sturdy and strong enough for minor scrapes and bumps along the river. Rentals all include the safety jackets, paddles and emergency kits. The DIY rafts also came with an inflator pump but since we got an inflated one from the boat launch we didn’t need it. We took our time and stopped by a couple of islands to chill out and catch some sun so it took us about 5-6 hours to float all the way back to downtown where the shop is. It normally takes 3-4 hours if you just went straight floating back. They even have guys waiting for you at the end point to help you dock and unload. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend floating at the Bow River with Lazy days.

Put this adventure on your must - do list. We parked at their facility and were driven to Bowness Park as the starting point. We were offered life jackets ($5) but had our own.Supplied with a pump and rope and a paddle each. The 4 person raft was clean and new. Bob carried it to the river for us and away we went. An absolute blast! Be sure to pack water and snacks and good water pistols. No pressure as to return time. We stopped on a sandy shore , played in the water and enjoyed seeing a long line of geese swim right past. The neice and nephew ( 14 and11) caught and released minnows with a fish net and practiced their rowing skills. We often spun in a circle in the middle of the river. On the way back we simply had to call Lazy Days and 2 staff were patiently waiting. They removed raft from water and carried it back to the shop.They wished us a good day.It was a GREAT day! Everybody nice, friendly laid back.No time limit imposed on us, no worries about damaging their equipment and refused a tip! Amazingly affordable. We were gone 6 hours and kids are still raving about how much fun the day was. Highly recommend. Call ahead to book . especially if you have only 1 vehicle and are needing a lift to a start off point. Thank you for making amazing memories for us. 5 star.

Best Canada Day float ever! I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Lazy Day Raft Rentals, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations in every way. As our company is planning an event in July with a sizable group of 122 people, I decided to organize a "dry run" to get a sense of how the day would potentially unfold. From start to finish, Lazy Day proved to be a well-oiled machine, leaving me thoroughly impressed. One of the standout features of Lazy Day is their streamlined and efficient process. Everything from the initial reservation to the drop-off and pick-up was seamless. The staff had their operations nailed down, ensuring that the entire experience was hassle-free. One person who deserves special recognition is the Shuttle Bus Driver who transported us to the boat ramp. Despite the challenge of numerous vehicles parked in improper places, he skillfully maneuvered his way to ensure a smooth drop-off for our group. Kudos to the Shuttle Bus Driver! The entire Lazy Day team exhibited a friendly and accommodating attitude and if my dry run experience is any indication, I have no doubt that our event in July will be an absolute success. I wholeheartedly recommend Lazy Day Raft Rentals to anyone in search of an outstanding rafting adventure.

We have only lived in Calgary for 12 years and finally did a Bow float this summer! But having used the services and rafts from Lazy Day I wouldn't do it any other way! Booking the raft was easy online and affordable. The rafts are durable, safe, and spacious. They provided us with everything we needed (boat, paddles, bailer, rope, whistle). But here is the best part: You call them when you get to the Peace Bridge and they meet you across from Princes Island Park to take your raft out of the water and bring it back for you. THEY TAKE YOUR RAFT OUT OF THE WATER AND BRING IT BACK! That was awesome! And because we parked at their business we just walked across the bridge to our truck and off we went. They took care of everything else! We also rented life jackets from them so we just took our water bottles and picnic baskets and off we went. Next year we will be doing this again and renting from these guys again. I felt safe in that boat and saw some of those cheaper rafts deflated and washed up on the banks of the river. There are a few shallow spots along the river but these rafts can take it. I highly recommend Lazy Day!

Thank you Lazy Day Raft Rentals for a great experience from start to finish. Organizing a float for myself and a few friends turned out to be a bit challenging with all of us being shift workers and our schedules not lining up! I had to email 3 times and each time was met with such a quick and professional reply. Heather was the one who responded each time, up to and including the night before our float and helped accommodate us on the shuttle last minute. Everything turned out great! Not just Heather, but the staff at check in, shuttle, the boat launch and at the end of the float were SO nice! Really wanted to leave a positive review because during the peak of summer in Calgary I was so impressed with your customer service and seamless operation. Well done! It ended up being just my sister and I on the raft but I will try and round up the gang next summer and will definitely use Lazy Day Raft Rentals.

Booked Aug 2024 : We booked an 8 person raft and from using the website to getting off the river and the end of the float, everything was a breeze! Easy to use platform to book wayt you need, great info and direction regarding start and end location along with what you need for the day! Not to mention, the team consisting of Tanisha, Ben, Enzo, Nick, Tala, and Damon were all super friendly and efficient! Shout out to Tanisha who check us in and was lovely and Ben who got us settle in our boat and out into the river! 10/10 would recommend Booked July 2022 : We rented a 12 person boat and had an absolute blast, it was a work outing to celebrate a very successful stampede season with our team! The booking process was simple and the service we received was friendly and efficient, couldn't ask for more! :) Would definitely use the service again!!
