Chicago Guided Kayak Tours - Enjoy Chicago's History and Architecture from the Water

Classic Chicago Kayak Tour

Experience Chicago's magnificent architecture and history from the peaceful platform of a sea kayak. The city was discovered by explorers who paddled through the region when Chicago was a portage on a great inland water route.

This tour will let you experience the same waters Marquette and Joliet navigated in 1673.

 

Classic Chicago Kayak Tour Highlights:

Learn exactly how the Sears Tower stands up, why it is four buildings in one, and why the Sears Tower is a legacy of the Chicago Fire.

Learn what David Letterman said about the busts in front of the Merchandise Mart. Discover which landmark Chicago building's floors were initially not level, causing pencils and chairs to roll across conference rooms until the problem was corrected.

Your Guide will explain how Chicago's river and railroads contributed to the grain, lumber and livestock markets that made Chicago and remade the West and why Chicago writer Nelson Algren described Chicago as the " Broker's Portage."
