Event Description

Conclude your weekend with a most memorable kayaking session by the Georgetown waterfront. No prior experience is necessary as we'll show you the basics before getting started and the kayaking session is guided. Watch the sunset over the Potomac as we kayak around the Roosevelt Island with spectcular views of Georgetown and the Washington monuments. Gently floating just inches from the water is a wonderful way to experience the monuments! Please reserve your tickets early as our kayaking events are very popular and sell out in advance.

Watch a memorable sunset and the DC skyline and monuments come to life at a distance after you return to our dock in Georgetown. Experiencing nature from a canoe or kayak on the Potomac River in DC, while you gently glide just inches from the water is truly an unforgettable experience. During the kayaking session you will observe birds, turtles and other wildlife along the banks of the river.

Please note that you will be either assigned to a single kayak or a double kayak with another attendee. We look forward to enjoying an evening on the river with you! Sunset times vary during the year.
