Me and my family loved every minute of our experience if I could do it all over again I would do it 1 million times. The staff was outstanding, great energy, I felt safe even though I can’t swim, I forgot all about that because of the wonderful staff.

First time kayaking at night! Overall, it was a positive experience; the views of the Chicago River and the fireworks were spectacular. Couple of housekeeping tips that would've made the experience from 4 to 5 stars -- I'm not sure a 4 hour kayak tour is everyone's cup of tea and I know there were many in our group that didn't know (including me) that the entire tour would supposed to last that long. Not sure everyone has that much stamina either. By the time we got back to the starting point, it was almost 1am. The other thing was that we couldn't really paddle very much because of the tight spacing and number of kayaks in our trip; guides kept telling us to keep to the right but there was hardly any space. Many other inexperienced people also kept on rowing when there's no space to go and liberally bumping into us with their kayak and on several occasions whacked me with their oars. It felt more like kayak bumpers instead of actual kayaking. If they could offer smaller trips with less kayaks and tell folks what the timing specifics, I think it would help tremendously!
