We love Starved Rock River Adventures! We went out for Father’s Day for the third year in a row today and the boat and the service were both fantastic!

On 6/15/2025 Vanessa Alvarado had this to say:
My family and I had a really nice trip up the Illinois river. The views from the boat are stunning. We saw eagles and turkey vultures. Also, cranes and hawks. The rental process was easy and hassle free. I would definitely recommend Starved rock Adventures for pontoon rentals. I hope to be back soon!

My family and I had a wonderful day exploring the Illinois river during Memorial Day. We got stuck for a bit and Tony came to the rescue and save the day for us, since we were able to continue navigating the river.
