Grant and his team have built a loyal following among tubers and rafters looking for personalized service without the big-outfitter price tag. Repeat customers rave about the quality equipment, especially the comfortable tubes with solid bottoms, and the knowledgeable guides who stay attentive throughout trips. The staff genuinely seems to care about making each float memorable, greeting guests warmly and helping everyone find the right setup for their skill level. The peaceful stretches of river offer scenic, relaxing floats where you might spot wildlife and enjoy having the water mostly to yourselves. Most trips run smoothly with efficient logistics and timely pickups. However, there have been occasional hiccups with pickup timing, and it's worth noting the location has moved to Todd, NC, so confirm the current address when booking. One important heads-up: if you're considering the Watauga rafting trip, several guests found it much calmer than expected, more of a leisurely float than an adrenaline-pumping whitewater adventure, so set your expectations accordingly.
Great tubing company, the float was so nice! Asa was very kind and friendly!
