Itinerary
Our guides will narrate points along the way in the 100+ year old Bricktown Historic Entertainment District, describing the areas history, plus point out and describe changes brought about through the MAPS projects.
Our guides will point out the Chickasaw Plaza sculptural and interpretive marker installation alongside the Bricktown Canal. These markers tell the story of more than 10,000 years of indigenous history, including acknowledgement of the people who lived in Oklahoma for hundreds of generations, plus the tribal nations (often forcibly) relocated to Indian Territory and the Oklahoma Territory in the 1800s. This plaza and its markers also acknowledge Oklahoma's modern First American nations and their critical roles in our state's leadership, culture and economy.
Passengers aboard the Bricktown Water Taxi will experience the Centennial Land Run Monument from a unique perspective; the water. Oklahoma City's Bricktown Canal meanders THROUGH the giant (1-1/2 times life size) 45 piece sculpture and learn about the years, days and moments leading up to this wild, dangerous, undeniably unusual event that in a single day created what we today know as Oklahoma City.
Travel the full length of the Bricktown Canal through the historic district of OKC and ride the Water Taxi!
World-class white water rafting facility with adventures to have for the whole family. The Water Taxi turns around at the entrance to Riversport.

Out tour guide was amazing. He was extremely knowledgable and very personable. I would recommend this excursion to anyone in the OKC vicinity. It only takes an hour and is very reasonable priced!
Too many people booked. Hot and no fans, no drinks water or soft drinks. Terrible parking and expensive.
In about 45-50 minutes, you learn some local history that you probably would have missed by foot. Our tour guide John, was funny, informative and a great story teller. If you have a few minutes to burn, head on over to Bricktown and take the Oklahoma City Canal Boat Tour.
It’s just the right length of time with history and local attractions. Our guide Ash was funny and energetic. We learned a lot about OKC and saw some really cool stuff.
This was a nice tour that gave a good historical account of Oklahoma City and a nice break from the sun and heat
The tour was informative. The tour guide was kinda funny. Although the tour guide accidently spilled his bottle of water on us... it was okay since it was so hot outside. We learned alot about Oklahoma.
Cassidy was amazing! We didn’t expect to learn so much on this adventure! 10/10! We would definitely recommend!
I took 2 teens. One enjoyed it and the other slept through part of it but I enjoyed sitting back and learning about Oklahoma City and just relaxing
OMG! I had the BEST experience that I didn't at all expect. Shoutout to JJ for being so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He made the entire experience so much better than I ever expected, and I learned more about the history and present-day of Oklahoma City than I ever knew. I recommend anyone who visits this location to participate in this experience. Plus it’s extremely affordable.
Very informative and beautiful experience. Unique perspective to see the area. Our ”captain” was great!
