There is nothing more unique and educational than a kayak tour down the Chicago River.
The tour will begin with an orientation for paddle stroke technique and the rules of the river.
You will then paddle your own kayak down the architectural canyons of the Chicago river while learning river history, viewing interesting architecture and stopping over historical spots along the way.
This is a water tour, so you will get a little wet from the drip of your paddle.
