About Wateriders
Kayak rentals and guided tours let visitors explore the Chicago River from the water. Rentals are available by the hour for self-guided trips, with one-way journeys offered at several locations. Guided options include sunset and moonlight paddles, a Navy Pier fireworks paddle, and private tours. Narrated tours cover Chicago history and architecture, as well as local ghosts, gangsters, and colorful characters. An on-land lesson is provided before paddling, with additional on-water training available for those who need coaching. Launch points include East Bank Club, Rockwell, and Bridgeport. Founded in 1997, the locally owned company runs recreational kayak experiences in Chicago, including downtown routes near the Loop and River North.
