About this experience partner:

Traverse City is a one-of-a-kind town, with a scenic riverway weaving right through downtown that was waiting to be explored. In 2014, our founder, Troy Daily, saw an exciting opportunity to create something unique—combining the beauty of Traverse City’s waterways with the growing craft brewery scene. With breweries popping up and scenic routes along Boardman Lake, the Boardman River, and West Grand Traverse Bay, Troy envisioned an experience that would bring people outdoors, keep them active, and immerse them in the vibrant local culture.

Kayak, Bike & Brew was born from a passion for adventure, community, and showcasing the best of Traverse City. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, our commitment is simple: to deliver a fun, active, and unforgettable way to experience the heart of our town—on the water, on two wheels, and with a cold brew in hand.

Join us for a safe, fun-filled adventure, guided by knowledgeable experts, and explore Traverse City like never before!

May 2025 • Bachelorette Party

We love TC Brew Bus! Our group was visiting the area for a combined bachelor/bachelorette party, and they were incredibly accommodating for our large party, even with itinerary changes right before our trip. Our driver, Terry, was wonderful! He was beyond kind, kept us on schedule, and took pictures for us at each stop, which was so sweet. It was everyone’s highlight of the weekend! Thank you, Melissa and Terry, for making this an unforgettable memory for our group!
