What the day feels like

What the Float Feels Like

This is a gently paced, two-hour scenic float: guests meet at the Under Canvas lobby tent, walk down to the river to board a cozy wooden boat, and drift seven miles while guides point out vistas and wildlife; refreshments are provided and guests may also bring their own beverages or snacks.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this float suits—and who should plan differently.

1
CouplesIdeal for couples seeking an intimate, low-key outing: base pricing and small-boat capacity favor parties of one to three people and keep the atmosphere private.
2
Small groups & friendsGood for small groups up to the boat maximum—boats carry a maximum of six passengers, so close-knit groups can stay together without a large outfitter presence.
3
Solo travelersSolo travelers are accommodated, but note base pricing is structured around one to three passengers included in the price.
4
Large groups or event plannersNot designed for large groups at once—the small-boat model and passenger caps mean larger parties will need multiple boats or separate bookings.
