We recently had an amazing experience tubing with River Dog Adventures on the Watauga River . The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Everything was well-organized, from the check-in to the point-to-point pickup and drop-off, so we could just relax and enjoy the river. The river itself was beautiful and serene, offering the perfect backdrop for a peaceful float. Keep in mind, the duration of your trip depends on the river's flow, so each adventure feels unique. Whether you’re looking to unwind or enjoy a fun outing with friends, I highly recommend River Dog Adventures for a fantastic tubing experience!

We had a great time on our rafting trip! Hannah was an amazing guide and did a great job keeping our multi generation family safe and entertained. This was the perfect first rafting trip for my 5 and 6 year old as well as the first trip for their grandma!

Had a super great time. The rafts are very family friendly and the guides are experienced. Our raft guide, Tyler, did a great job. All the staff were friendly especially Biscuit ( the golden retriever). I can’t wait for them to finish building their new pickup spot for after the raft rides.

Had the greatest time floating with friends & family! The cooler floats, the way we could all hook together, or separate and paddle along was all amazing. We loved meeting the River Dog Adventures mascot too!
