The crew at this family-run operation brings infectious energy to every trip, from the banjo-playing bus driver who shuttles you upriver to staff members like Jeff, Sydney, and Sabrina who get mentioned repeatedly for going the extra mile. The vibe hits you the moment you arrive: friendly, laid-back, and genuinely fun. People rave about the smooth check-in process, clean facilities with essential supplies available, and those entertaining safety briefings that actually keep you engaged. What really stands out is how accommodating the team is when plans go sideways. Multiple reviewers mention last-minute changes, late arrivals, and flight cancellations, and the staff consistently found solutions without hassle. They offer impressive variety too, from quick 1.5-hour floats to overnight camping trips with yurt accommodations. Jeff gets particular praise for his local knowledge about fishing spots and water conditions. The location itself is super convenient right in town with easy parking and takeout, and you'll have your pick of tubes, kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards for exploring the Shenandoah.
This was an amazing experience. They have everything setup when you get there and the bus ride was through town. The bus driver was hilarious I was laughing the whole time "Hey that's Bob— Bob wants you to donate..." 😂 The float was beautiful and explained very well the check points and the final buoy. Thank you guys for an amazing business you are running. Made our vacation very stress free and enjoyable. FYI- They have a free key lock box at the check in to secure before you float.
