Looking for a little more adventure—and some friendly company on the water? Our Guided Social Kayaking trips take you to sections of the Milwaukee River we don’t normally paddle, making each outing a unique experience. You’ll be part of a small group, joined by one of our guides who’s there to offer tips, encouragement, and local insight, so you can relax, connect, and enjoy the journey together.
Like all our river trips, we make it easy with our kayak shuttle service. We provide the kayak, gear, and a ride upstream—so all you have to do is paddle back down to your parked car at your own pace. No loops, no backtracking, no hassle—just a fun, social adventure with the extra reassurance of having a guide nearby.
