Paddle through one of Chicago’s most iconic areas with Wateriders. Discover the city’s rich history, striking architecture, and urban biodiversity on a 2-hour guided kayak tour.
Wateriders delivers a truly immersive kayaking experience on the iconic Chicago River. Led by knowledgeable, safety-focused guides, each tour offers a fresh perspective on the city—blending urban adventure with natural discovery.
🚣♂️ 2-Hour Kayak Rental for One
Ideal for solo explorers, this self-guided rental lets you paddle at your own pace. Discover the rich biodiversity of the river while taking in breathtaking views of Chicago’s skyline and unique blend of nature and architecture.
🚣♀️ 2-Hour Kayak Rental for Two
Perfect for couples or friends, this rental offers a shared experience on the water. Glide together through the city’s striking “canyons” of steel and glass while soaking in the peaceful side of Chicago.
🌿 Why Wateriders Stands Out:
Thorough orientation to get you water-ready and confident
Tranquil launch point away from the downtown rush, offering a calm, scenic starting place
Unique setting surrounded by trees, wildlife, and a revitalized waterway teeming with birds, turtles, and urban nature
Whether you’re drawn to Chicago’s rich history or looking to reconnect with nature in the heart of the city, Wateriders offers a kayaking experience like no other.
