So much fun! This is a well-organized event with plenty of instruction prior to hitting the river. It was a beautiful night, full of gorgeous sights along the Chicago River, and a good workout, too! Highly recommended! -

We had a great time on the night kayak tour! I purchased it for my boyfriend’s birthday and he had a great time! We were on the water for about 2 hours and it was the perfect amount of time.

What To Wear
What should I wear?
Come prepared to get a little wet from the drip of your paddle and be out in the sun. Dress for the weather. Lightweight, synthetic clothing is best. You can bring cameras, but they do have the possibility of getting wet, so bring a waterproof bag.
What should I bring?
Bring fluids and snacks if you plan on being out for an extended period of time. A camera is great to bring when you are out on the water, we recommend having it in a waterproof bag. We highly recommend staying hydrated, bring ample water, to reduce heat exhaustion.
What if I don't want to bring my keys or other valuables with me while kayaking?
There are storage cubbies at the starting location in case you want to leave something behind, or don't want it to get wet. Anything you bring on the water has the potential to get wet. There are zip lock baggies available to you, keep in mind, they are water resistant, not waterproof. There are waterproof dry bags available for rent.
What if it rains?
