Schedule Your Group Outing With Us!
Wateriders frequently hosts private tours outside of our posted schedule. We work with you to set up the right tour for your needs and to set a launch time. Prices are based on the size of the group and timing.
With a private tour, you get to customize how your experience plays out. Choose to have a private version of one of our public tours, to mix and match the tour narratives, or to just go for a guided group paddle — all on your schedule.
Our guides will take your group on an urban excursion through the canyon-like channel of the Chicago River. Magnificent views surround you, and you will get a nice workout while learning about the great city of Chicago.
We can take a 20% down deposit for private tours scheduled more than a week in advance, which is fully refundable up to 72 hours before the tour.
Contact us today to discuss options, rates, and availability.
