A perfect smooth and relaxing trip!
A little scary for first timers - as there is no help if you wade away or get stuck!
We scheduled this while we were visiting Va. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We tubed down the river, and they picked us up and brought us back. Highly recommend them
My thanks to Frank at SRA. He is very knowledgable regarding the river, it's history and quirks. The river was up slightly and the 3 hr trip was done in 2.5 hours. A little whitewater to make it interesting but nothing a novice with Frank's guidance won't be able to handle. This was a relaxing and peaceful trip of around 7 miles. The Olde Towne canoe was in excellent condition and life vests and paddles were furnished. I can't remember the guy's name who drove the shuttle bus to the drop off but he knew all about the area and pointed out some nice bike rides when I told him I was on a Harley. These are great people and provide a meaningful and rewarding experience. I will be back.
My group of 7 had the BEST time tubing down the Shenandoah River! call ahead, reserve your group, show up, pay fee (not very expensive at all) decide how you'd like to go down the river... tubing, kayaking or canoeing. Once down the river, the "fun bus", will take you back up the river, so you can go down one more time. WE had a great day!! HELPFUL HINT... WHERE OLD SNEAKERS, THOSE ROCKS HURT AND POP THOSE KNEES UP WHEN GOING THROUGH THE RAPIDS :)
Our small group went canoeing and kayaking in early Oct 2016 and it wasn't busy. The guys running our trip (the one at the base who helped us sign up, and esp our driver who drove the bus to the drop off and who also picked us up) were really nice and friendly. The base is not fancy at all - a shed with tables and an outhouse. But the staff was really nice. Would recommend! Wish they had double kayaks though.
Went tubing for the day, and it was pure professionalism. The place doesn't look like much at first glance, but the people running it were super helpful and friendly and flexible about us designing the right trip for us. Gave all the instruction and feedback we wanted, and we enjoyed a lovely float. Pickup was waiting for us exactly as stated. I'd highly recommend.
