Chicago River Bilingual Kayaking
We provide a 2 hour kayak tour along the Chicago river with a short kayak and safety lesson beforehand. Our guides will bring you on a relaxing paddle down the Chicago river where you get to take in the scenic views of the Chicago skyline and learn about the history of the city as well as its iconic architecture. From Native Americans using the waterways for trade all the way to our modern skyscrapers, it's a great summer experience. This tour will be for Latino Conservation week and will be led by two bilingual guides.
