I wanted to plan a last minute kayaking trip with my partner so we found this place in Keswick and…read moredecided to just do a walk-in. Upon arrival, it may seem like it's difficult to find parking, but once you drive past the shop, there is a lot of parking behind. We walked into the shop, and within seconds, staff greeted us. It was great and easy to know everything as there was a giant menu of all the services and water activities they provided. We asked for 2 single kayaks, and they told us there were plenty! 1 single kayak is $25/4 hours, which is an amazing price. This also includes a lifejacket and paddle. You honestly can't find this deal in Toronto. You get charged a mandatory damage deposit of $200 per kayak first, and once you return from your trip, you get your deposit back and pay the $25. The staff were very nice and the lake was great! The kayaks and paddles were super sturdy and well maintained. We went around 2pm and there were a decent amount of people, but not too packed. Later in the afternoon is when we saw it started getting pretty busy. There was a hiccup in payments at first, where the first card machine didn't work, so I used a second one. After my trip, I checked my bank and they charged me twice. They were super nice and accommodating and refunded me back the amount. I will definitely be back and rent with them again!!!

Unfortunately this pontoon rental facility is a miss. To start the facility is a mess the…read morebathrooms are some-what of service and a science experiment. There would be less mess in an animal pen. The prices charged are no reflection of the state of the facility and pontoons. The first pontoon we rented had a grease spill all over the side ledge of the vessel right beside the ladder to board and get off of the vessel for swimming. Thank goodness we did not add the feature as we would not have been able to use the bbq in the condition. Pontoon 17. On our second attempt the pontoon was still definitely not in spic and span power washed state as shown in the advertisement. FYI - upon arrival 10.00 to park a big vehicle. 10.00 for each fishing rod with 5 feet of line on them if that as they did not bother to re-line the rods between customers.and 10.00 per pot of worms. The pontoon engine was not in the greatest condition as it sounded like the water pump was not clearing the water well which made it very very loud sluggish and squirrelly to drive. We cut our visit short and upon arrival the owner came out to ask if we were done with the worms we could not use. Strange. No other questions. Also we found that the anchor line was short on the pontoon so check if you go. The marina is a little crazy to walk as well. Small slips and very very unkept grounds. This place has a lot of potential but unfortunately it seems that cutting corners will be its demise. Number 13 pontoon front door also kept opening as we drove the lake since the latch to keep the door closed was missing entirely. The booking staff are somewhat stern if you call to re- arrange your trip. Don't even try to cancel. please note ...The younger staff carrying out the physical departure and arrival are excellent in spite of the overall management of this place. I believe that at the price point for the rentals there could be a great deal of improvement made to this facility. Customers are taking their loved ones on the lake for a easy safe adventure and I feel that they are a little indifferent and lacking in maintenance. It's been a week since our trip and could not let this experience go unmentioned.

The weather was warm, the lake was nice and calm and we set out for what ended up being an absolutely incredible day and evening. Our journey began with a warm and friendly greeting by Captain Rhonda. Once we got on the boat, we were given safety instructions and got ready to set sail. Our first stop was on Hanlan's Point where we enjoyed a nice picnic. The beach was packed with women, men and children of all ages. The vibe was great as everyone was soaking up the sun and spending quality time with family and friends. After a few hours of lounging on the beach, we got back on to the boat and toured the west side and south side of the Toronto Islands. Our next stop was Ward's Island. We docked the boat, went for a nice walk on the boardwalk and then stopped in to sit down and have a cold beverage and a wonderful snack at the Rectory Cafe. We then continued our walk, stopped for ice cream and walked around the neighbourhood of Ward's Island. We got back on the boat and continued to explore the east and north side of the Toronto Islands. While on the north side, we explored the lagoons and stopped in to the Toronto Island Marina where a live band was playing just before the sun set. We wanted to be on the water while the sun was setting so we could take in Toronto's breathtaking waterfront. What a sight that was! Pictures don't do a justice! Captain Rhonda is a very friendly and knowledgeable person and knows quite a bit of the history of this fantastic city we call home. She really cares about her customers and will do anything to be accommodating. I would definitely recommend Humber Bay Boating Adventures to anyone who would like an intimate tour of the Toronto Islands and Lake Ontario whether you're in a group or would just like to go out with that special someone. I can't wait to book my next tour with family and friends!

We went to Angler's on a Sunday to rent a boat to fish. With a party of eight, we rented a pontoon at a rate of $120 for four hours ($158 at the end, after taxes and fuel charges). The day rate was $175-180 (before tax and fuel charges), which ends at 7:00pm, but we didn't want the boat that long. The pontoon - with a capacity of eight - fit the eight of us comfortably. Only one person is supposed to be the designated captain and apparently a boating license is not required, but who's steering the boat when you're out in the water is another question (and that's all I'll say). We did have fishing licenses though. The man, who I assume was the owner, taught our captain how to dock/undock and drive the boat. It's pretty straightforward. We also bought a box of worms, 24 for $6. As I never fish, I don't know if that's a good deal. The pontoon was decent. It certainly wasn't new and it definitely wasn't fancy, but it got the job done and we didn't run into any problems. My only issue with the boat was that it had no overhead cover unlike some other pontoon's we've rented in the past, so on a sunny day, you would likely shrivel into the wrinkliest of raisins. Fortunately, we brought a big golf umbrella, so it made lounging on the boat much more comfortable. I genuinely don't think you could survive in the heat and sun without shade for that long on a boat with no overhead over. That's really my only complaint with the experience (and I'm no boat expert, but there did appear to be notches where a cover should/would have been attached.)

Upon first arriving at the Anglers Retreat, you are welcomed by a beautiful, scenic view of Rice Lake. And then you are shown to your cabin by Lloyd - a very drunk person who won't show you to the boats because he can't see two feet in front on him! He was disgusting! The cabins were not much better. We were given a choice of cabins because there was a plumbing problem with the original one we booked but, not so much a problem that he insisted we change cabins. So, we stayed in the original cabin. Everything (in both cabins) was grimy and dirty - the ceilings, the walls, the floors, the furniture, the beds - everything! The cabins have obviously never been cleaned. We decided to make the best of it. I took out my can of Lysol and used about half of it to clean the germs and get rid of the fowl smell! Looking around the cabin, you could easily see the structure was falling apart and needed some serious work. There were holes in the ceilings and walls and the floors were uneven. We also noticed there wasn't a smoke detector; there was a spot (a base) for one but, no detector. We had booked the cabin for the week. That evening, while down at the dock, I heard and watched out of the corner of my eye, at what I thought was a squirrel scramble in to the second cabin we had been offered. I "hoped" it was a squirrel but, it sounded like something bigger. "Thank goodness we didn't take that cabin!" In the morning, as these things naturally happen, we had to go to the bathroom. After a couple of trips, the toilet would not flush. There wasn't a plunger anywhere so, we went to get Lloyd. He was quite hungover and, after listening to the problem, went back to eating his breakfast before heading out to look at the problem. Others in my group shared that the sinks had also back up during the night. When Lloyd finally arrived, he got annoyed and said the toilet was running. We just waited and thought he was going to fix it. Instead, he started yelling at us! We were two couples in my group. Lloyd said a lot of stupid and ridiculous things! The women got mad! Standing up from the chair I had been sitting in, I took a dep breath and said, "I think we should leave." So we did. We quickly packed all of our belongings and drove into Peterborough - to use the bathroom and get some breakfast. We lost a $250.00 deposit. We managed to find another place to stay for the rest of the week. Anglers Retreat should be shut down and the buildings should be fixed/torn down, the plumbed up-graded, the Fire Marshall should be brought in, a building inspector should be called in, etc., etc., etc.
