Highlights
Looking for something new and different to do with the family this summer? Grab a paddle and hop aboard an inflatable, 17-foot (5.1 meters) paddleboard for your 4-mile tour on the French Broad River. Your private group will work together to navigate the craft down the river with a guide on the back of your board who will help with directions and steering. You will also hear stories of Asheville's history and get the chance to spot local wildlife on the banks of the French Broad River. This tour accommodates up to 6 passengers.
Your paddleboard tour begins and ends at a central location in Asheville.
What You'll Get
Choose from 3 depart times to meet your guide in Asheville's River Arts District for a 10-minute shuttle up the river. You will enjoy a narrated tour of West Asheville on the drive to Hominy Creek, where you will be fitted with a life jacket, grab your paddle, and choose who is going to stand where on the board before setting out for your adventure.
Over the course of your 4-mile tour you will paddle beneath bridges, squeeze between rocks, and learn how to keep the board pointed straight while your guide helps steer from the back. You will definitely be the talk of the river as you pass by kayakers and tubers. Be sure to keep an eye out for native wildlife such as turtles, herons, beavers, otters, ducks, deer and black bears.
Your paddleboard raft is wide and stable, easy for first time paddlers, and can accommodate anywhere from 3-6 paddlers depending on the size of your group.
Your paddleboard tour concludes at the original departure point.
