There is a big fountain in the center of the lake that you'll probably feel splashes of water from. My husband and I had a wonderful experience on our swan boat. Each swan boat fits 2-5 people, but only the 2 in the front can pedal the boat. You can ride the boat for an hour, which is more than enough time. Everyone is required to wear a life vest during the ride for safety reasons. The life vests are provided at no extra cost. The boats light up at night, so this spot seems even more busy in the evenings than earlier in the day. Advanced reservations are required and can easily be booked online. I would highly recommend reserving a night ride so you can see the swans glow over the water. Pricing is hourly, per person and very affordable. Children's prices are cheaper than adults. For what you get, this activity is very worth it. I will definitely be revisiting with my husband for another night ride. Before or after the boat ride, you can also enjoy a nice walk around the park trail. The only con is that parking is pretty limited.

A perfect way to spend the day!…read more I'm a Los Angeles native, and even though I've been to Echo Park a gazillion times, I'd never tried the swan paddle boats--until now. A friend and I decided to give them a go, and it honestly made an already great day even better. I highly recommend it. It's $13 per adult (kids are less), parking is usually easy to find, and you can enjoy a relaxing lap or two around the beautiful lake. Simple, fun, and such a classic LA experience

Coming here definitely changed my perspective on kayaking and when I tell you that I had one of the funnest times with LA River Expeditions, I mean it! From the moment I arrived, the friendly and knowledgeabl staff made me feel right at home. They provided such detailed instructions and safey guidelines. ( that were also super beginner friendly! ) The LA River itself was honestly such a surprising journey. i was immediately captivated by the stunning urban landscapes surrounding the river. The juxtaposition of nature and the cityscape created a unique and surreal atmosphere. It felt like we were exploring a hidden gem right in the heart of Los Angeles. The equipment provided by LA River Expeditions was topnotch. The sturdy rafts and safety gear gave me confidence throughout the journey. It was evident that they prioritize customer safety and comfort, ensuring a memorable and worryfree experience.The equipment was very well kept, sturdy, and overall super clean! Cleanliness is super important nowadays and seeing the quality and cleanliness of the rafts honestly made me feel super safe! Throughout the journey, the guides displayed a remarkable ability to balance professionalism with a friendly and personable approach. They were attentive, ensuring everyone stayed safe and engaged throughout the trip. One aspect that truly stood out was their ability to cater to different experience levels. Whether someone was a seasoned kayaker or a complete beginner like myself, the guides were patient and understanding, providing individualized attention and guidance when needed. I cannot recommend LA River Expeditions enough. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, adventure junkie, or simply looking for a unique way to experience Los Angeles, this expedition is a mustdo! I highly recommend La River Expedition to anyone seeking a memorable adventure guided by a team of remarkable individuals who go above and beyond to ensure an outstanding experience for their guests.

There was a lot of people in line. I was in the middle and thought I wouldn't get good seats, but I ended up sitting outside in the front. The boat is really nice and big. The front is the best place to sit with a good view of the whales and dolphins. The inside was packed and you don't really see a lot and sitting outside in the back you could smell the fumes from the engine. I did see dolphins and whales - the mom and the calf. They had a couple of experts talk about the whales and dolphins. We were past Newport Beach when we finally saw the whales. We spent a good amount of time seeing them. Then we went back. It's gets windy. It was a fun experience.

They show pride in what they do, they stand behind their work, and they treat people the right way. Do not let any negative reviews distract you.

They showed the kids how the life jackets fit and then got 'em in the water to confirm to the kids that they were safe and comfortable. Then they let them loose on the boats. They had canoes and kayaks and stand up paddle boards and even has a dragon boat. They have a have a specific section of the lake designated for paddling but on the day we were there the guides let the kids loose on the entire lower lake. They loved it. The kids got some exercise and had a ton of fun and walked away happy and sore and a bit more confident in their watercraft skills. I've heard that the same options are available for adults but we had the misfortune of catching their very last session of the 2017 season so it looks like I'll have to sit on my hands and wait another 9 months to take a spin on that dragon boat. Too bad.
