What happens on the day
Experience the spectacular Asheville landscape first hand with this French Broad River Kayaking adventure!
Just beyond the bustling city of Asheville lies a lush natural landscape that includes rivers, lakes, and the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. You’ll venture into this wilderness, led by an expert, naturalist guide, for an unforgettable encounter with nature. This kayaking tour is the ideal way to learn about Asheville’s flora, fauna, and the wildlife that call this landscape home.
You will meet at Hominy Creek River Park where you'll meet your guide, receive a basic instruction overview, and then board your complimentary transportation to the launch site. As you ride, feel free to ask any questions about the experience or the technique for paddling your kayak. Once you've arrived, you’ll set off on the waters of the French Broad River. This river is thought to be one of the oldest in the world, and is home to a vast array of plants and animals. Along your way, take in the spectacular scenic views, including a sneak peak at the Biltmore Estate, America’s largest home featuring stunning architectural detail. By the end of your trip, you’ll have developed a deep appreciation for the history, geography, and culture of Asheville’s landscape.
This experience gives you the chance to ride on a tandem, sit-on-top kayak, which are much friendlier to beginners. However, your naturalist guide will ensure a safe and fun experience for everyone, and can handle any questions or concerns that may come up. They will also share stories about the land and its many marvels!
Paddle into the perfect day!
