    Super fun and good work out! Did a tandem and single on two occasions. Firework paddle was nice but short. Try the sunset paddle to enjoy the beautiful view of the city and avoid the hot summer sun.

    Kayaking is great if water is not too choppy. People who work there are great and we had a wonderful time on the river. Liking forward to going again but takin one of the tours.

    Great time!! It is a must when visiting Chicago or even if you live here. Historical tour was filled with fun facts about the city. Great work out! Wear something you want to get wet it!

    Best place to kayak in the city! Only downside is having to watch out for/ be cautious of boats because they have the right of way.

    The Navy Pier fireworks tour is beyond amazing. Even if its your first time in a kayak, don't be nervous you'll do fine! Great guides!

    Did the guided city tour as had a blast. For a first time kayaker, the staff helped with maneuvering around! Amazing views!

    Awesome location about 100 yds E of Columbus St bridge. Easy & clever launch and return set-up. We rented for 2 hours & went east to the lock then west to the "Y" then south to Harrison St bridge.
