They even found 8 electric scooters. Our guide was very sweet. Still learning on the job so her driving was interesting. You go to the end of the canal and come back. I think they said its 3 or 4 miles. I definitely recommend. read less

Captain Connor was a very informative, relaxed and entertaining guide. In a 40 minute ride, we learned a surprising amount of OKC history and saw many landmarks. Fun for the kids.

I was a little skeptical since this is such a touristy area and every business in the area is a chain BUT it was actually pretty neat. Pricing is high, ... read more but on par with other cities with similar experiences so I would say it’s reasonable. Our guide focused a lot on the history of the area as well as the statues and artwork you wouldn’t see unless you were in the water taxi. I definitely would take time to do this as it helps a really touristy area feel more local. read less

Didn't go on the cruise but watched the boat multiple times while staying in OKC but looked like they do a really good job. Very neat to watch. Here are some pics of the boat in action.

Oklahoma River Cruises did not disappoint! It was our first experience cruising the river and definitely not our last! The Captain and First Mate were very friendly and knowledgeable. The weather was a bit gnarly but that only added to the experience. There was only one other couple besides our party of seven so social distancing wasn't a problem at all. Everyone wore masks and the boat was incredibly clean and sanitized between each cruise. It was AWESOME to watch the boat dock when they came to pick us up. The Captain and First Mate obviously work beautifully together as a team. We felt safe, we had a great time, learned some fun and interesting Oklahoma River facts and we're pleased with the value of the experience. We'll be back!!

There is nothing to see, especially in the dark, along the River. Crew was very nice. It was just so boring. Save your money.

We had a fantastic time. The crew was very friendly! I would suggest buying alcohol in bulk and loading up the boat more because I heard other cruises ran out of alcohol. But ours didn't!

Nice evening cocktail cruise along the Oklahoma River, catching the sunset as we drink and relax.

I love everything abouy the oklahoma river cruise. #okrivercruises. This is something nice for oklahomans and for out of town guest. Its super affordable and something cool to do. Most times the boats aren't really crowded. I love that there is a bar. Hard Liquior is sold at night. But during the dat you can still get beers, wine and or margaritas. Ive been about 15 times. I have yet to do the full one from Bricktown to meridian. Manley because its hard to get a full return. Mothers day had free rides for mothers. My mom really enjoyed herself. This weekend had a lot of kids running and playing though. Typically its adults on the rides. They do feature children's rides with activities. Just be mindful of the return times online. You can purchase tickets once on board. Staff & captin always friendly & knowledgeable during the cruise.

Wow. Color me impressed. I checked this out on Wednesday just to figure out what it was all about. They do several different things here. I just hopped on with a friend to ride down from Regatta Park (boathouse district) to Exchange District (Meridian/ I-40 area) for a fun little afternoon diversion. Clocking in at 1.5 hours, it was a great way to do something different in the middle of the afternoon, but the daily rides are really more like ferry service. Think very nice bus that travels through water. Mine was really a fact-finding mission, but I needed to see it to understand it. Oklahoma River Boat Cruises is really a handful of things. Four to be exact: ferry service, private charter, sunset cruise, themed cruise. In addition to the aforementioned ferry service, you can also charter the boats for private parties. I looked over the prices for everything, and it's cool because it really is the same as renting a private room somewhere for a party. The boat is the venue. You still get to select your catering options, decide if you want alcohol and if so, do you want to pay for all (host bar) of it or do you want individuals to pay (cash bar). Like most venues, they can do both. Under this option, you can also add A/V, live music, decorations, flowers and more. I'm seeing this a really fun engagement party, big birthday party, or a more private alternative to your standard high school or college reunion. Prices vary, but again, comparable to renting a room/ballroom/venue for a special event, but this room floats down the river. Geeks Rule the World HS reunion. Done. If you're not in the market for planning a private party right now, you can always do a specialty or themed cruise. July = Disco, August = Luau, September = Karaoke. Um, hello, a karaoke cruise? Can someone please tell me what is not to love? Okay, if you aren't presently trying to figure out which freaking weekend in September you can do a karaoke cruise, while I struggle to understand you, the nice folks at Oklahoma River Cruises have another option for you. You can do the basic, relaxing, sunset cruise. This is $29/person and includes a 1.5 hour sunset cruise, cash bar, snacks, comp sodas. I imagine it is pretty relaxing, pretty chill, and pretty beautiful. I think if I ever had any mild-mannered guests in town, we might try and do this. I don't know any, but someday I may. It does seem like a relaxing thing to do, especially if you're charged with planning a fun itinerary. They are very professional, the boats are new, clean, and feel very safe. The crew is all Coast Guard certified and they run everyone through a security briefing. I saw a heron eat a bird, and enjoyed the commentary from the captain of all the cool new things to see and do along the river.

This is the way to enjoy the Oklahoma River! It's great to be able to experience the city from a different perspective and enjoy a relaxing night out on the ship. We went with the Yelp crowd as well and had fantastic time. The crew was friendly, the ship had enough room for us to move around, and it had the right amount of air conditioned (thank goodness) space if you wanted to dodge the heat. I love the fact that you can use the river cruises for a water taxi, a chartered party boat, and everything in between. Definitely worth a look.

We were lucky to have perfect weather so we could spend time on the bow of the boat. It can get a little crowded in the cabin when 35 people are in there all at once but, when people move about the boat seating is pretty good. The boat's climate was comfortable. There was ample food, light snack trays. Remember, this isn't a dinner cruise. The crew and captain were very nice. The boat was decorated creatively and a lot of effort was invested in the landing decorations. It was fun that people came in costume and participated in the costume contest.

We just had our wedding there on one of the boats from Exchange landing. Che' and the boat staff were so accommodating. They were always available to answer questions and adjust details of us. The service is excellent, and I highly recommend them
