This Isn’t Just a Paddle

People can rent paddleboards almost anywhere.

What they can’t rent is a guide who knows where the wildlife gathers, understands the history of the shoreline, can share stories about the places you explore, and creates an experience that’s relaxed, welcoming, and memorable.

At Ontario Staycation Adventures, every paddle is designed to help you slow down, discover something new, and enjoy the water at your own pace. Whether it’s your first time on a paddleboard or you’re an experienced paddler, you’ll leave with more than photos—you’ll leave with a story.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Maria.

For over 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of introducing thousands of people to the joy of paddleboarding—here in Ontario and around the world. Whether someone is stepping onto a board for the very first time or looking to build confidence and refine their skills, I love helping people discover just how rewarding time on the water can be.

Ontario’s waterways have incredible stories to tell. From peaceful creeks and thriving wildlife to hidden corners that many people never experience, every outing offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and see familiar places from a completely different perspective.

My goal isn’t simply to take you paddling. It’s to create an experience you’ll remember long after you’ve left the water. Every adventure is thoughtfully planned, personally guided, and tailored to your group’s interests, pace, and comfort level—whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, exploring with family, enjoying a unique date, or simply looking for a memorable day outdoors.

I look forward to welcoming you on the water.

What to Expect

The best way to safely introduce yourself to new to you waterways, be social & learn something about the places you are visiting.

Welcome to our guided paddles in some of our favourite spots in Ontario!! These 2.5 – 4 hour paddles enable paddlers to discover new waterways in a safe way with experienced instructors. We look after all the equipment, planning and weather forecasting.

Our small groups will meet at the destination (map coordinates to be provided). We will then do a short meet and greet followed by a safety review/ experience overview so you know what to expect. Your guide will make sure you are ready to hit the water in style and comfort. These paddles are meant to explore nature and socialise while being on the water . We will be paddling at a slow speed for most itineraries with rest stops in the shade :) You may sit or stand. Book our set dates for group paddles or make your request! Kayakers may also join our paddles under Bring Your Own Boat.

No transportation, parking or park entries etc included.

This is NOT a class or a lesson. Most of us will be seated to enjoy being able to look around, spot wildlife. Our SUP lessons or Women on the Water series are excellent for learning all the skills you need to conquer the Paddle boarding world <3

** The final call for safety is the instructors. In the event of inclement conditions, we will either reschedule or you may choose from one of our upcoming experiences or paddles
