Illuminated Escapes Brampton

An exciting experience is returning to Toronto this summer, and it will light up your world. Toronto Kayaks, rebranded as Illuminated Escapes, is bringing its glowing boats back to the city, and this year, there will be two new locations to enjoy them from. The experience first launched in 2021 at the Humber River, and it's returning to this location as well as opening at Woodbine Beach and Heart Lake Conservation Area in Brampton for the first time. This hidden gem offers calm and clear waters perfect for kayaking. Paddle across the entire lake, take in the breathtaking views, and admire the lily pads along the way. You can drift across the water in transparent, hybrid kayak-canoes outfitted with LED lights and bluetooth speakers. The speakers connect to your phone, so you can play all your favourite tunes as you paddle. There are both single and tandem (two-seat) kayaks available to rent starting at $60. The single kayaks are available for daytime rental and do not have the LED lights, although they are still completely transparent, making for a totally unique experience. ------------------- IMPORTANT TO KNOW ------------------- - 5 years of age (A waiver must be signed by parental guardian ) Children under the age of 12 yrs must be accompanied by an adult Weight capacity: 192kgs/425 lbs per kayak - Paddle lessons are available on request.
