Hungry? Order to Dine in the River!

We’ve partnered up with Taco Rio on the riverwalk to bring you food while on the river. When you check in with us, you’d have the option to place an order after scanning the QR code. Take your river ride and pick up your food in the river. When you arrive at Taco Rio, they’ll lower the food down to your boat.

Nothing says summer more than enjoying tacos on the Chicago River!

We want to make sure you are completely safe during your ride. Please watch the safety video below to save time at the dock and make sure you get the most out of your time on the boat!

There are no refunds. If CBR cancels the rental due to weather, we’ll issue a credit or gift card for the amount paid to use at a different time. For more about cancellations, please visit our FAQ.
