Is there an age limit. We will have a 4 1/2 yr old. Are there small rafting tours? what info can you refer me to tubing?

22 May 2017|

Answer

I wouldn't bring any child that wasn't a strong swimmer. There are chances of getting bumped off on the the rapids.

MrsV1205

Is there a weight limit?

17 May 2017|

AnswerShow all 4 answers

There may be a weight limit. It depends upon which river you are interested in going down. We are located in two states and run three different rivers. Do you know which one you were interested in?

IceCreamLuvr

About how long are the tubing trips? (I know it's somewhat dependent on the river). I saw they offer a 1.5 mi. and a 3mi. trip.

9 July 2015|

Answer

How long each trip would take depends upon how the river is running on any particular day. Could be from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Hope this helps.
