About

Join Riverfront Canal Cruises for an informative, 40-minute, historically narrated tour of the James River and Kanawha Canal along Richmond’s historic Canal Walk. Hear about centuries of Richmond’s history, from Chief Powhatan’s rein to the first commercially successful electric streetcar in the world, while traveling in authentic, flat-bottomed boats. See the unique Triple Crossing railroad, tobacco warehouses that have been converted into trendy lofts, the Virginia Capital Trail, the Low Line gardens and James River wildlife.
The boat tours operate seven days a week from May through September, with varying hours in April, October and November. Tours depart from the canal’s Turning Basin at 139 Virginia Street, in downtown Richmond. The covered boats depart on the hour. Tickets are sold on-site at the canal boat kiosk and 24 hours in advance online at VentureRichmond.com. All boats are handicap accessible. Historic Tours: Adults: $10.00 Children (5 - 12 years old): $6.00 Children 4 and under: Free Seniors (65 years and up): $6.00
