Very nice people and a great way to spend a morning. Had a good time with my son and am looking to bring the whole family back. One very small 'rapids' section that is easy to get through.

We reserved our kayaks the day before in a last minute decision. Everything went very smoothly. We checked in and got shuttled up to where the kayaks were already lined up on the shore. Our day trip was beautiful and relaxing--the perfect get-away from the city! Thanks Tar River Life!

I added a picture of the office. This place seemed really sketchy at first, but then we met Megan and Karla (the staff). They were really nice. Signing the waiver took 2 minutes then they drove us on a short bus about 15-20 minutes up river. Me and my wife were beginners and they were very helpful in getting us in and out of the water. The water is really calm and we floated most of the way. It took us 1 hour and 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend using the bathroom before you get there and make sure you have bug sprays

Awesome experience. I definitely recommend Tar River Life for anyone who is interested in kayaking. My friend and I came here on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to try kayaking for the first time. Meghan was super friendly and answered all of my questions ahead of time. Will definitely return later this summer.

Yes they do, but no glass bottles. They also rent cooler floats.

How deep is the water? And have there been any large critters or gators spotted?

Depends on the season, i would say on average during summer its knee deep, some areas shallower. No major critters and my non-nature friends really enjoyed themselves. :)

They have a shuttle, you park at the bottom of the float and they bus you up to the top. Then you can float down at your own pace and stop along the way if you want.
