where do I start? The only reason you got one star is because I could not give you a half!!!!!If…read moreyou are planning a float trip do not use James River outfitters!!!made reservations for 23 people and full payment 2 weeks in advance. scheduled shuttle time was 10 am, arrived 10 minutes early, waiting in long line for check in. finally got to counter and was informed that there was a shuttle fee of $30 for each floating cooler one way . This was an additional $180 cost! there was no mention anywhere when on website! when we inquired about transporting the coolers ourselves, we were told we could not do that; don't know if that meant that it was private property or there was no public access. We surrendered because we had no other options as far and paid their huge fee. Waited over an hour for transportation to put in spot, our group was split up in two buses, loaded kayaks were blocking the seats before we were allowed to get on, and passengers were scolded because some younger people did not climb over the bus seats and were expected to do so versus the older passengers!!! Shouldn't have had to climb over the seats at all. This is also a safety hazard, probably against the law. We finally arrived and only one person there to assist our large group and many other people to put in the river. They did have outfitted canoe kayaks staged for our group, but other groups were taking half of the one set aside for us which further delayed us another 45 minutes, we finally got in the river only to find out that three of the kayaks were broken. Overall, I would rate this outfitter as the worst I have ever seen personnel under demand equipment, and very poor condition. Operation for basic services was not very well organized. Needless to say we will never return to this outfitter or recommend anyone else use them. In fact we will recommend they use anybody else than James River Outfitters!!!!

Beautiful float all season pending river conditions you may or may not drag but that's mother nature. My only complaint is I wish they could get the 5 mile float back as it was perfect for beginners in the group. The 7 mile was a beautiful float just long. Hoping that there will be improvements for the 2025 season but over all a great spot!!

They made everything very apparent, and we even got to sign the interior of the bus.

They were able to send a friend that has a paddleboard company out to me to give me a hand blowing up my board! No one ever goes out of their way like that!!

We rented from Gypsy Canoe (see my review). Until we get more experience, we'll continue to rent from Gypsy. The Kayak Park has a few rapids for exposure. You can actually roll if you don't maneuver in the Dwight section if it. The good news is the water is fairly calm so there's no scary current to drag and keep you under.

This would have been a five star review, if I only considered the first half of my experience with…read morethis company. We arrived on Sunday morning and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Due to the fact my wife and I are older and I'm handicapped and don't walk well, they loaded our kayaks on their trailer and took us on their shuttle to the drop point and then unloaded them and took them to the waters edge. The staff in the morning were friendly, efficient and we would recommend them to anyone and the charge for the shuttle was extremely fair. However, then came the second part of our experience, when we arrived back at the camp via the river and were ready to get out. We were repeatedly told that they would be there to help us get our kayaks out of the water and back onto our trailer, but nobody was there when we arrived. My wife then walked up to the office to ask about getting some help, but an older staff member(probably owner) told her he was too busy doing other things to help and was very dismissive. When a younger employee volunteered to help us, the older man wouldn't let him come and told us he would *send him down soon.* We waited until it became apparent that he wasn't going to come and then proceeded to do the loading ourselves. This didn't go well, because we were not really physically capable of doing it without help, given the loose and steep terrain, but being determined and a bit angry helped us get it done. It's a shame, because this was our first experience with this company and we had really been looking forward to not only using them regularly for kayaking, but also bringing our trailer down to stay in their RV park. However, due to the way we were treated, it's doubtful we'll be returning. I hope the rest of you have a better overall experience than we did.
