Discover the River Cruise on the Sandpiper

About this event

Start your Saturday with a relaxed and scenic two-hour cruise along the Maumee River aboard the Sandpiper. This guided experience offers a fresh perspective on Toledo, blending local history, riverfront architecture, and abundant wildlife into one memorable outing. As you cruise, you’ll pass stately historic homes and riverside landmarks while hearing the stories that shaped the region. Early morning on the river also brings opportunities to spot wildlife, from soaring eagles to herons along the shoreline, all in a calm and peaceful setting. Guests are welcome to bring along breakfast or brunch favorites to enjoy onboard—coffee, light bites, or even a celebratory mimosa—with small coolers encouraged. With cooler temperatures, soft morning light, and a quieter river, this family-friendly cruise is ideal for sightseeing, photography, and a laid-back start to the weekend.
