On the east coast of southern Vancouver Island, in Duncan, British Columbia, Canada, Juntos Feel Free offers sit-on-top kayak rentals designed for open-water exploring across the Cowichan Valley and nearby Salish Sea channels. These single kayaks from the Juntos/Move Touring Tri Hull line prioritize stability and tracking, and include a forward "jump seat" for a small child or a dog, foam roof pads and straps for transport, and an optional $20 delivery service for paddlers who want a turnkey start. From the town's marina and shoreline access you can push off into sheltered estuaries, paddle along rocky headlands, and skim past Garry oak meadows and cedar and Douglas-fir forest edges that slope down to tidal flats. Key features of the gear—the molded wheel in the keel, deluxe seat, rubber hatch and bottle holder—make it straightforward to set up a day trip with a little dry storage for snacks and a light shell. With eight sit-on models available in Field & Stream and Ice Cool colors, this is a rental fleet built for easy, confident outings rather than technical expedition craft. That accessibility is the point: these rentals let first-time kayakers gain confidence while also giving experienced paddlers a low-stress platform for exploring the Cowichan River mouth, inner Gulf Islands channels, or calm coves near Shawnigan Lake. Because the kayaks track well, you can maintain a steady line on wind-affected crossings and focus on observing intertidal life—starfish, eelgrass beds, seals—and the layered volcanic and sedimentary rock outcrops that form many of the island’s small headlands. Practicalities are straightforward. The Adventure package includes a roof-top loading kit and straps for self-transport; clients sign an additional waiver for moving equipment. Delivery is an inexpensive way to get straight to a launch site if you’re not driving a roof-rack-equipped vehicle. The front "jump seat" is rated for small children ages 2–4, and the hatch offers enough dry space for essentials; bring a splash top and life jacket. There is no guided instruction included, so beginners should pair this rental with a quick shore-based briefing or a local skills clinic before heading into tidal waters. Juntos Feel Free becomes a smart local option because it reduces friction between intention and action: affordable, stable boats that get you on the water quickly, with simple logistics for families and solo explorers. It’s an ideal way to turn a Duncan visit into a saltwater morning paddle, a wildlife-spotting outing, or a quiet afternoon reconnecting with the shoreline environments of southern Vancouver Island. Rentals are flexible for half-day or full-day plans, and packing a waterproof phone case, sunscreen, and a simple float plan increases safety and enjoyment for any skill level and local conditions.
The forward "jump seat" is designed for small children ages 2–4 or a small dog; operators require appropriate supervision and a signed waiver.
Optional delivery is available for an extra fee of $20 to get equipment to a launch site.
Yes—standard rentals include a paddle and a PFD; extra gear like rooftop kits are included with the Adventure package.
Small dogs are permitted in the forward seat on these sit-on models, but owners should ensure the animal is comfortable and secure during launch and paddling.

Pursuit and Paddle, based in Duncan, British Columbia, offers a curated selection of rental equipment for self-guided outdoor adventures on local waterways and scenic routes. The business lists hard paddle boards (10'6 XR4 Pacific and 11'6" NOMAD), sit-on-top kayaks including Feel Free’s smallest sit-on-top and Juntos Feel Free models, plus electric bicycles (Drift Model S-1 and Maui Bronte). Each rental listing provides concise product summaries that describe transport readiness, rider capacity, and the intended style of use. Several paddleboard and kayak rentals include rooftop foam pads and straps to simplify self-transport, allowing guests to load gear and travel independently to nearby launch points. Most rentals require guests to sign a waiver before use, and the Juntos Feel Free kayak listing specifically notes optional delivery and the availability of additional gear to assist with self-transport. The Juntos kayak listing also indicates space for a child up to four years old. For evening paddles, the Premium Glow Paddle is a 90-minute LED-lit paddleboard experience offered on Friday and Saturday nights and includes glow accessories. E-bike listings are promoted as easy-to-ride models for scenic exploration at a guest’s own pace. Booking details, waiver requirements, delivery options for select items, and exact product specifications are provided on The Adventure Collective listing and the business’s rental pages to help guests choose the right board, kayak, or e-bike for a self-guided outing from the Duncan location. Visitors are encouraged to review product descriptions, confirm transport requirements, and complete any required waivers prior to departure.
