First of all this place offers tubing, kayaking and Canoe (probably would not suggest it, unless it…read moreis big wide open lake like Marsh Creek). Normally we would go to Marsh Creek Watersports, since they have great staff and wide areas for most water sports. We came here on a Saturday for Kayaking, which was probably a mistake. Should have came here on a weekday, when it is less crowded. The staffs here are friendly, there's just not enough of them (Will explain later). When you first walk towards the check in desk, you will have to wait in line to sign in even if you already purchased the ticket online (The wait for us was approximately 20 minutes outside). After you checked in you go get your life jacket, there is another wait for the bus that will take you to your destination, depending if you picked Kayak/Canoe or Tubing, and if you picked 1 or 2 hours. Our wait for the bus was approximately 30-40 minutes, which is fine we expected it from reading some of the reviews. They will give you a number card to tell you which bus you will be boarding via the intercom. The buses have seen better days, but it gets the jobs done that's all it matters. The bus ride for us was 10-15 minutes tops. After you arrive at your destination, you pretty much on your own, apart from the quick safety tip briefing at the beginning. We carried our kayaks to the dock and just went on our way. Beware, depending date/time at times some parts of the river will have very shallow water, I saw a few people getting stuck, we had little to no trouble getting out. But we saw some people struggling to get their kayak out of the water, because it is way too heavy from all the water that got into the kayak. This is where the experience can be sour for some people. There's almost no staff stationed at certain part of the river to assist the customers, apart from one where they tell you to GO RIGHT at the flag (where most people tipped over). There is also way too much tubing traffic for anyone with Kayak or canoe to enjoy the water, as some people will bunch up in groups and you had to maneuver around them on high flowing water so you don't run into them. For inexperience kayakers it might be a little tricky, as there's very little room at certain parts. When you finished your journey there is a little tiny dock that some people have apparently missed and gone all the way down Delaware river and staff members needed to pick them up, as there's no flags or sign to tell you this is the end. At the same time, the water in front of the dock is so deep, you are almost guaranteed to get wet. I was lucky enough to get a staff member to help carry me up so I don't get my phone wet. In conclusion, If you go on a weekday or days when it is less crowded, you will have a much better experience. Also if you don't want to get your phone wet or submerged in water, do not bring your phone at all or bring a waterproof casing if you want some pictures, as the scenery is quite nice. Overall it was pretty good experience for me, but there's better options elsewhere if you want just enjoy kayaking experience for the price you pay.

I have always wanted to travel on these rivers by boat and our trip was the best way to have this experience. Our boat captain was a very nice fellow and our tour guide was likewise personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed more of a conversation about the history and the various sights we passed as we traveled on these two rivers. The weather was perfect, not too hot or cold, and the wind we hit on the Schuylkill was bracing and refreshing! It was also interesting to see how the lower end of the Schuylkill river still looks a little wild from the perspective of the water. It was also exciting to turn a bend and see the city come back into view. If you like to be on the water, I highly recommend this tour company.

You can bring food and drinks on the boat though they do have a bar full of options to choose from if you want a beer or cocktails. No food options to purchase on the boat. Everyone was nice and my son even was able to take the wheel for a while. A positive was that we were able to jump on the boat with no reservation. There are 4 large booth tables and plenty of other folding chairs and tables to relax by. They have a bathroom on board the ship with its very own window. I'm not sure if it's normal but there was no music playing which I liked since I was able to have conversations with my family. Tom & Steve are the owners and very nice and welcoming.

My experience form beginning to end was fantastic. I think one thing that seems to bother most people is the BBQ lunch. The BBQ lunch was apart of my package and when I arrived they were just loading the buns to be taken out on the river. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but you'll understand in a minute. When I arrived, there were already several eager adventurous folks checking in, buying waterproof items for sale, collecting their water rafts and some even already on the water. I checked in with my Groupon and as directed, I left my keys - collected my Kayak and proceeded to the bus. Please note, the rule is, everyone must wear a mask until you're actually on the water; great rule as it gets crowded in the shop as well as on the bus. It keeps everyone safe. I chose the kayak experience which was awesome but the real fun is in a tube. After my journey down the river, I immediately purchase another Groupon just so that I could come back and have a tubing experience. So, back to the BBQ lunch. By the time I paddles my way down (a few signs for the waters edge for direction) to the BBQ shack on the water, they were still setting up. I guess I paddle too fast. I decided to keep moseying down the river as I had already packed a lunch just in case after reading the reviews about the BBQ shack not being up and running. Oh well, next time I'll enjoy a burger. Again, this is the perfect mid week escape. The ride outside of NY is quick and there's plenty of parking. Although it says Delaware tubing it's actually located in New Jersey; well at least the border between the two. I would recommend going early and taking as much time as you like in a tube with family and friends. I would also recommend bringing children as they will develop a lifelong love of being on the water. I'm a big fan now and I can't wait to return in a few weeks. P.S. I was told by my bus driver, they offer a fall foliage experience where they only allow kayaks on the river.

Unless you are medically unfit, you can do this. Exceptional customer service sums up the team at Jim Thorpe River Adventures (aka LOC). They are extremely well organized which makes for a great trip. Everyone from the moment you enter LOC until the very end was polite, professional and wanted to make sure you have a great time. Some tips to follow: you only need to arrive 15 minutes before your group time, this allows ample time to get situated. Buy their pre-made lunch, it is well worth the 10 bucks, bring extra water on the raft (especially in the summer). Use the bathroom before you get on the bus (and be quick). They give you a dry bucket for your lunch and items, yes you can bring your phone in a dry pouch. Wear a hat and a sun shirt, it is hot and sunny, without much shade. Jump in the water when you have the chance !! If you are a "full figured" person it will be difficult to re-enter the raft, be aware. The trip down river is very safe and well organized. The guides are VERY safety aware ! If you are nervous and listen to them, the team will get you down the river without a hitch ! A few suggestions: don't go on a busy holiday weekend, it can get crowded on the river, the safety briefing takes a long time and you a sitting in the sun (remove your vest and drink water), during July and August I would imagine the water is very low and slow (if it is a dry summer)...best only if you want to have a relaxing rafting trip. Overall, a bunch of fun. The entire family had a great time.
