12 canoe and kayak tours you can’t miss this summer

P hiladelphia boasts a rich history of recreational boating, perfect for exploring during the warm summer months. From the Lenni Lenape navigating Lenape Sipu (now the Delaware River) and Ganshowahanna (now the Schuylkill), to modern-day Philadelphians paddling on Burlington Island’s former amusement park site , enjoying the city’s waterways is a cherished local pastime.

This guide will take you through 12 small boating companies offering canoe and kayak tours across Philadelphia, West Chester, Bucks County, and New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. These boating excursions are on flat water, offering easy kayaking and canoeing trips for all skill levels.

Enter the trail anywhere along the Schuylkill Banks in Center City, including an access point on Walnut Street via the staircase at the entrance to the Walnut Street Bridge ( parking available nearby ).

Kayak tours start at $40 per person, accompanying tour guides for a paddle up the river to the Fairmount Water Works. Sunset and sunrise tours are available at $45 per person and Hidden Rivers hosts special kayaking and movie screening nights for $40.

Excellent guide service - so much fun.

Feb 27, 2024

My dad and I embarked on this tour together. Mike was punctual (even early) and displayed professionalism with his equipment and during our brief orientation. He exuded enthusiasm while enlightening us about the wildlife and the area's history. At no point did we feel hurried. Witnessing nearly a dozen dolphins in the gulf, and even observing a few mating, was unforgettable. The scenery was stunning, the equipment was top-of-the-line, and the guide was not only kind, patient, and fun but also incredibly friendly. Mike took fantastic photos and videos of both the wildlife and our family, providing them to us afterward at no additional cost. We're eagerly looking forward to another tour with him!

I have recently done the Canyoning and Zipline in Polilimnio waterfalls, it was my first time doing the canyoning and i loved it.The guides Fotis and Trifanos were very friendly,explained everything and had great knowledge of the place, i felt very safe as the equipment was top notch. When finished a nice healthy picnic was the best way to recover. The photos i received are now are the profile pic in my instagram account 😎 I would definitely recommend Explore Messinia as they are very professional and in my next visit i will join the Canyoning in Neda waterfalls.
