Eerie Canal Tours

Eerie Canal Halloween Cruises

​Riverfront Canal Cruises hosts three special nights of hauntingly narrated canal boat tours!

Friday-Sunday, October 30-November 1, 2026

From Friday, October 30 – Sunday, November 1, special 20-minute tours leave every half hour (on the hour and half hour) from 5:00-9:00 p.m., with the last boat departing at 8:30 p.m.

Something mysterious is happening along Richmond’s riverfront, and we need your help to solve the case! Climb aboard for a colorful, spooky adventure as you investigate reports of strange and monstrous sightings along the historic James River and Kanawha Canal. The canal walls are filled with centuries of history and stories, but the latest mystery is unlike anything you've seen before: Mural Monsters!

Follow colorful clues, uncover hidden surprises and keep your eyes peeled for mysterious creatures lurking along the way. With spooky decorations and a few chilling surprises around every corner, it’s up to you to identify the Mural Monsters and crack the case before your journey ends. Are you up for the challenge? Join us and help solve the mystery!

Little ghouls and ghosts in attendance will receive a special candy treat. This family-friendly Halloween event in Richmond is best suited for kids aged 4 and over.

  • Boats depart from the Canal Walk’s Turning Basin at 139 Virginia Street.

  • Admission is $6. Kids aged 4 and under are free.
