As a dad, planning this kind of trip comes with a lot of moving parts... and a little bit of overthinking. Thankfully, Twin River Outfitters made it all easy. Robert gave us a great orientation and walked us through the whole course like seasoned river guides (which we definitely are not). We booked the glamping tents and took full advantage of their kitchen box, firewood, and luggage service--which meant we could have an awesome adventure without needing a crash course in ultralight backpacking. It was a perfect balance of the outdoors and just enough comfort to keep everyone smiling.

We went canoeing today and had a wonderful experience! We got there a bit early (9:20) but they…read moreopened right on time at 9:30 for us to pick up our canoes. The drive over to the start of our day trip was pleasant in an air conditioned van and the guide driving us pointed out baby deer and an eagle's nest which was awesome. The canoeing day itself was beautiful and the trip was just the right length for us. There were four adults in our group-- I think with kids you would want to ask for a closer drop off point because it was a LOT of paddling. The canoes were nice and they helped us carry them down to the launch point and gave us a run down of the rapids we would pass which was helpful to avoid overly shallow or rocky areas. We were the only ones canoeing that day which was so nice! I would love to do this again in the fall when the leaves are changing!

There is ample shade so during the hot summer months, you're sheltered from the sun. We camped right on the water at Campsite 6 hearing the river as we slept. We could have camped up a bit as the site is large. We could swim from the site. Floating down the James River rafting was super beautiful and relaxing. Any age can do this really. Water was low but still fun.

The guy driving the bus acted like he got paid by his arrival times there and from traveled a winding Road at crazy speeds . Honestly don't have one positive thing to say about The adventure I will never book thru this company again !

The tour was guileless, but you're told which way you need to go through different splits and are provided a water proof map. It was such a great time. There are small rapids you'll go through, it's so much fun. If you don't know how to kayak they'll give you a run down, don't worry! You're provided with life jacket, a dry bag and box for you're belongings, and of course, your kayak and paddle. Make sure you bring water and a hat. Oh, and your sense of adventure! We loved viewing the 300 sheer cliff walls and watching all the ducks and geese. It was genuinely such a wonderful time. If we're ever back in the area, we're definitely coming back and kayaking again.

Stephen was great! Not only did he load and unload all our boats, he also emphasized safety, was…read morehilarious, and was basically a tour guide on the ride to and from the river. The scenery was beautiful, the gear was well-maintained, and the 7-mile kayaking route was both relaxing and a decent challenge. Keep in mind that you must have shoes with a closed or strapped heel (no slides or flip flops). It comes in handy. And make sure you have sunscreen, a hat, maybe some sleeves, and snacks/water. In the fall, the water can be low. There will be obstacles, but follow their tips and you should be able to navigate around them (or over them... the "scoot" technique was key). It may not be easy but it will be gratifying! The rapids aren't too rough on a nice fall day, but you may need to work to get out of shallow parts. The faster flows are a really good time but it's not like whitewater rafting or anything. Most of the trip was like a lazy river, but with some quick, low rapids to make it a little spicy (in a good way). The water was clear with lots of fish, birds, and beautiful leaves about. Would absolutely go again!
