Philadelphia won’t leave you up the creek without a paddle this summer with the return of “Paddle Penn’s Landing,” a relaxing and hands-on way to experience the Delaware River.

Starting this Saturday, May 19, boating enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels can explore Penn’s Landing by renting a swan boat or a kayak.

Boats launch just south of the Independence Seaport Museum at the Penn’s Landing Marina, where swan boats are just $5 a person and kayaks are only $8 a person.

Swan boats are a whimsical way for families, couples and friends to bond over beautiful views and summer weather.
