About this tour

See Milwaukee from the water on a kayak rental that lets you explore the Milwaukee River at your own pace. Set out in a sit-on-top kayak, designed for easy entry and exit, and take in views of the city skyline as you paddle.

Your rental includes a kayak, paddle, life jacket, and instruction. Along the way, you can pause to get out of your kayak or stop near local breweries and restaurants. The Harbor District launch location is near Boone and Crockett, Taco Moto, Hawthorne Coffee Roasters, and the Cooperage Event Space. Bring water and dress for the weather; a change of clothes may come in handy if you get wet.

Choose Milwaukee Kayak Rental for a relaxed way to enjoy the river and discover the city from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 32 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Milwaukee
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.9.
