Description
Neon Paddle: Glowing Motorized Paddleboard Tours On The Chicago River.
This is a one of a kind experience and can only be found in Chicago.
No paddling experience is needed. Each board is fully electric, controlled by a wrist-strapped remote with three simple buttons: Forward, Reverse, and Stop. The boards cruise at a comfortable 3.8 to 5 mph — the perfect pace to soak up the scenery. Sit, kneel, or stand — the choice is yours. (Our boards are equipped with Kayak seats) Every tour includes our Dinghy DJ which is a guide in an inflatable boat at the back of the tour playing a curated playlist for the group.
Tours launch from Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chinatown, just ten minutes from the Loop and a short walk from the Red Line's Cermak-Chinatown stop. Expert, CPR-certified guides lead every tour and provide a full safety demonstration before launch. All guests receive a life jacket, ankle leash, and safety whistle. A secure, locked storage bin is available on site for personal belongings.
This is an 18+ experience. Guests must be able to swim and weigh under 250 lbs. Please arrive 30 minutes before your tour time dressed and ready for the water.
What's Included: Motorized neon-lit paddleboard, paddleboard seat, life jacket, ankle leash, safety whistle, expert guided experience.
