Some kayaks are built for specific paddlers. The Kaholo 125 is be built for everyone.

It's the sweet spot of the Kaholo lineup — long enough to glide efficiently and carry a day's worth of gear, nimble enough to handle easily solo, and light enough that getting to the water never feels like a production. Whether you're exploring the inlets of Frontenac Provincial Park, cruising the Rideau, or hunting down a quiet bay at the cottage, the 125 handles it beautifully.

The whole Kaholo lineup won the 2026 Paddling Magazine Industry Award for Best Sea/Touring Kayak — and the 125 is the model most of our customers end up choosing.

At just 26.7 lbs, it's easy to carry to the water solo without breaking a sweat. When the paddle's done, the Leafield D7M valves make deflation fast and straightforward — open the valves, roll it up, cinch the compression strap, and it packs down to a tidy 20" x 24" x 10" bundle that fits in your trunk, cottage closet, or gear room without a second thought. No roof rack required. No trailer logistics. Just an incredibly capable kayak that's ready when you are and out of the way when you're not.
