Thrilling Water Adventures

New River Tubing: The crown jewel of relaxing river adventures, featuring the only unlimited day pass tubing experience on the New River. You’ll float for an average of 2 hours through gentle rapids and peaceful stretches, with the freedom to BYOB (no glass) and even bring your furry friends along. The “float back to us” system means you can repeat the experience as many times as you want in a single day.
