Description
Discover the 12,000 years of human history that flow through the Charles River on a guided kayaking tour. Launching from Broad Canal, paddle leisurely down the river to the Storrow Lagoon and back as guides share the full arc of the river's story: from its Indigenous roots to the conservation movement that transformed it from one of the most polluted rivers in the country to a thriving urban waterway.
The Boston skyline at sunset makes for an unforgettable backdrop as you connect to past and present from the water. All equipment is provided; no prior paddling experience is required.
