Group Tour ADVENTURE VOYAGES include:
It's Alive!
Sail into adventure looking for signs of life in the watery world that runs through our city. Search for microscopic plankton in a river water sample. Get up close and personal with our local waterfowl, be puzzled by strange native fish, and hunt for unbelievable creatures from our rivers!
Bridges of Pittsburgh
Cruise the three rivers learning what makes Pittsburgh the bridge capital of the world! Voyage into Pittsburgh's past when horse-drawn carriages clattered across wooden bridges and hear fascinating tales of fire and floods as you sail through our colorful bridge history. Try your hand at engineering, marvel at the ancient arch construction and build and test several types of bridges.
Traveling the Nautical Road
Enter the world of a riverboat pilot as we sail along the rivers learning about life on the water. Tour the pilot house, learn to use a river roadmap, and discover what makes Pittsburgh the largest inland port in the United States. Help the crew prepare the vessel to get underway, decipher secret messages in code, and make your name in signal flags.
Birdspotting Cruise
The rivers and islands of Pittsburgh are home to an astonishing variety of birds. From their perch at the top of the river valley food chain, birds can be excellent  indicators of other forms of life in the rivers-especially fish. Use binoculars and learn to identify local birds by their behavior, coloration, and body shape. Ducks, geese, and rock doves are guaranteed. With a little bit of luck we'll spot swallows, hawks, kingfishers, coromorants, great blue heron, and more.
From the Muddy Banks Sprang a City
The Monongahela brought explorers from Virginia representing the British crown and the Allegheny brought the French seeking furs. Their first meetings escalated to war, right here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Join us for a voyage exploring sites surrounding the long forgotten tale of a once peaceful river valley that came under siege and blossomed into a vibrant city. <<Back to the top
