WHY WATERIDERS?

  • LOCATION

    Begin your journey at the river’s hub. Our launch at the East Bank Club starts you minutes from downtown via scenic Wolf Point, where the three branches of the river meet and the city’s magnificent views blossom. We are easy to reach by bike, train, bus, car, or foot.

  • PREMIUM PARKING

    Just a minute's walk from the river, our $4 validated parking garage is convenient and offers the best deal in the area.

  • QUALITY

    For 20 years, we have taken great pride in our tours. Carefully curated scripts are informative and entertaining, while our personable guides have both the knowledge and dedication to make sure you have a memorable, safe journey with us.
