TESTIMONIALS

We do this a couple times a year. It’s so well organized and ran. Everyone is so nice and helpful! There is nothing for you to do or worry about other than having fun. I actually lost my ID and they contacted me to get it back to me! WOW, this is a great business to support while enjoying summertime fun!

My husband and I had a great time tubing a few weeks ago. The experience from start to finish was enjoyable. The online booking process is easy, the check-in and parking was convenient and quick. The shuttle (yay for A/C on a 90°day!) takes you to the end point, where you get your tubes. The tubes are SO COMFORTABLE. Loved having a headrest and a mesh bottom. The staff helps you into the water, ties everything up end sends you on your way. We had a cooler tube which held our cooler full of drinks and snacks perfectly. The river was low so it took us a good 3.5 hours which we didn’t mind. We thankfully rented their paddles which helped a ton. We floated back (to our parking spot), and the staff there helped us out and grabbed all of our garbage. If you’re looking for a stress-free, fun day, I highly recommend them. We will be back for sure!!

We had an incredible time yesterday on the River! We had a huge group of 11 and had a blast together. The River was so clean and clear, and the flow was just right for us. Your team was super helpful, friendly, and easy to work with! We met so many amazing people on the river and can’t wait for our next trip! Thanks a bunch!
