  2. City skyline kayak tour on the Milwaukee River, Milwaukee5

    5. City skyline kayak tour on the Milwaukee River

    4.3· 6 reviews· 1.5 hours

    One-and-a-half to two hours on the water — a guided kayak journey with views of Milwaukee’s downtown skyline and historical insights along the way.

    Having never kayaked before, I was uncertain about the experience, but my husband agreed to go tandem for my comfort. The tour turned out to be incredible. Viewing the skyline from the water offers a unique perspective, and our guide provided deep insights into Milwaukee's industrial history, architecture, and the significance of the Milwaukee River. We moved at a comfortable pace, observed many interesting sights, and enjoyed great discussions. I highly recommend this tour.donnadechant
