Please note: This is an unguided outing. The minimum age we will shuttle is 6 and youth 6-12 years old are required to wear a personal flotation device. We generally recommend one adult for every two children and may require at least that ratio when younger children participate. All participants must know how to swim and manage themselves on a body of moving water. Footwear is required, flip flops not recommended. We do not offer tandem tubes, cooler tubes, rafts, or inflatable kayaks. We strongly discourage participants from tying or binding together tubes. (While that practice may be safe on some rivers, there is a high likelihood of running aground and potential entanglement hazard on the low, rocky Roanoke River.)
