What To Expect
We rent high quality river tubes for floating on the Roanoke River. Guests meet us at Wasena Park, a public take-out so you can float back to your vehicle. Once all participants for the shuttle time have arrived, we'll conduct a quick 5-minute safety briefing, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for the journey ahead. Then, we'll board our 14-passenger van and drive to the starting point upstream along the greenway.
The tubing experience entails a leisurely ~2-hour float back to Wasena Park and your vehicle, allowing our guests to soak in the natural beauty and tranquility of the river surroundings. It's a seamless and convenient way to tube!
