TOUR ITINERARY

ORIENTATION

https://wateriders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/night04_900-1-600x258.jpg

At the beginning of each tour, we teach the basics of flat water kayaking and brief our guests on river safety in a 10 minute safety orientation.

PROMENADE

https://wateriders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wr13-600x258.jpg

Once we are all in kayaks, we begin our paddle from our dock to the locks. Just after the first bridge, we are greeted by one of the most breathtaking views on the river. We then paddle to another fantastic vista at Wolf Point, and soon after, we proceed to navigate down the beautifully lit East Branch towards Navy Pier.

FIREWORKS!

Grab on to the wall once we get down near the locks so you don't float away as we enjoy the fantastic fireworks display! Savor the moment as you look on along with a legion of other boaters of all shapes and sizes as the fireworks launch from just beyond Navy Pier.
