The team at Far Out, was great to work with! Very flexible and accommodating and had what I would consider a small town business feel. We were lucky enough to get some tubes day of for a day of relaxing by Lake Lillian, but I would recommend renting your equipment in advance. Our original hope was to rent their Stand-up Paddle boards. Their prices and rental length of time are a better than what you get in Invermere and for a small additional fee they will even deliver and pick up the stuff to certain locations. Very helpful!

We accidentally found this place, without any recommendation. We popped in on Wednesday to see if they would have any availability on Thursday morning self guided canoe trip from Invermere to Radium. He accommodated us, however we did not received any map or much info about the river, just logistics basically paying, signing for waiver and time when we all would leave from the shop next day. Our driver James was very welcoming and friendly, when we arrived to Columbia river we received a must to have briefing about safety and quick explanations about our 16km river trip..AND THAT WAS OUR LIFESAVER! We were not so worried as we own canoe and have some experience, also we are middle aged couple in good shape..and all what we heard how easy the river trip is.. However after many hot days that particular day stormy clouds collected, we were told we we will get the wind but we don't have to worry as will be in our back.. Our trip first half was as advertised very calm and beautiful with bald eagle sights and beauty of nature. However stom came above us, we received heavy rain, our Canoe was very hard to steer straight as wind direction was against us. We had whitecaps river was not so calm anymore and I felt extremely lucky my husband knew how to canoe otherwise we would bail from this trip!!! I have to recommend cancel your trip if sky somewhat shows rain would arrive. We had to paddle last 2 hours straight so our canoue would not capsize..I understand this is not usual occurrence when it's sunny and calm but it was definitely not for fainted heart! We definitely never going to forget this trip1 star off as I felt we should it get map or more info regarding of the river..4 stars to James whom verbally explained tons of stuff( lucky us) and he was very accommodating.
We had a fantastic time paddling down the river with James from Invermere to Radium. It is a relatively easy paddle, great for any level, but unless you know the river, I suggest you don't go without a guide. We would go with James again ... easy laid back conversation and clear knowledge. Great day!
Rented some cross country skiis for our week in the woods. Arrived and they were all set up, waxed and ready to go. Quality equipment with professional and friendly service.
Far Out Gear Rentals set our group up for a last minute kayak trip down the Columbia River. Their drop-off and pick-up service was absolutely hassle-free leaving us to enjoy the day and not worry about logistics. Friendly service all the way from start to finish, very knowledgeable about the area which gave us 100% confidence on our unguided adventure. Thanks Far Out!
