This was our first time tubing with NC river riders. Can't say enough good things about our trip. Everyone who works there was super polite and very personable. We were quickly shuttle to take off point and in the water quickly. The river is wide enough with some fun little currents to ride through. We did the 2.5 mile trip but will be back with friends to do the longer 4.5 float next. We had a great relaxing time and we were met with the crew at the pull out point. Thank you Tony, Ryan and the rest of the staff for a truly lovely day! See you later!😁
