Spring or summer is a great time to explore the beautiful Potomac River in easy-to-paddle boats. From a first river trip, a first date, or showing guests around DC – River Tours are fun for everyone!
Embark on a 4-hour family friendly Paddle Boat River Tour and experience the adventurous side of DC as you explore the Potomac River below beautiful Great Falls. And best of all, you don't even have to drive very far because tours leave from Potomac, MD, Darnestown, MD and Arlington, VA!
Calleva Outdoors offers 4 river tours to choose from:
Paddle Pennyfield (Ages 12+)
- Explore a part of the Potomac River that you can only experience from the seat of your kayak. During this trip you will be weaving between islands searching out for Bald Eagles, Turtles, and other types of wildlife that live on these shores. (Alternate Sundays 1 - 5 pm. Meet at Pennyfield Lock in Potomac, MD. See schedule here.)
Full Moon Kayak (Ages 14+)
- Find your zen under the stars while kayaking on the Potomac River. After a cook-out style dinner, you will launch on the scenic Seneca Creek, get some basic instruction, and head out to the Potomac River to enjoy the night-scape. Then head back to land to enjoy an evening fire and drinks. (Select Fridays & Saturdays from 6 - 10 pm. Meet at Riley's Lock in Darnestown, MD. See schedule here.)
Kayak the Monuments (Ages 12+)
- Paddle under bridges and into the Potomac to see the skyline of DC, then take a stop at Roosevelt Island, and then on to the Georgetown waterfront. Then your guide will direct you to the banks of DC to see the beautiful monuments. Afterwards, paddle back across our nation's river to the south side of the Boundary Channel to where the tour began. (Select Saturdays & Sundays from 12 - 4 pm. Meet at Columbia Island Marina in Arlington, VA. See schedule here.)
Potomac Adventure Tour (Ages 12+)
- On this tour, get acquainted with your one-person kayak and gear on the flat water of Seneca Creek. Then paddle under the historic sandstone aqueduct into the wide Potomac River. You will cruise down the waves and fast current of a class II section of whitewater called the Seneca Breaks. End your trip with a float past islands and greenery before taking out at the boat ramp at Pennyfield Lock. (Select Saturdays from 1 - 5 pm. Meet at Riley's Lock in Darnestown, MD.
