★★★★★Jeffrey LewisMy wife and I did the 4-hour tube float. Great time. Comfortable tubes. Lucas, our guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. And he was right there to pick us up. Perfect timing.
★★★★★Brandy MorrowThis was the best place I've ever used for tubing! The tubes were top notch, our guide was informative and timely to pick us up at the end. The experience was so chill, we had the whole river to ourselves! We saw lots of ducklings and even a mink! 10/10 recommend!
★★★★★Dawn MossRafting Sunday 5/25 was GREAT FUN! if your a 1st timer & unsure how hard you want to tube definitely go to River & Earth! Trail was beautiful. Grant was so nice. We had a wonderful day! Thank you! Dawn Moss
★★★★★Taylor MWe rafted the Watauga today with River and Earth and our guide Dave. We had the best time. We were all white water rafting newbies. We took our teenage sons and it was great. We loved the smaller group compared to the other competitors companies we saw rafting on the Watauga. Our guide was so knowledgeable on rafting and the area and was so enjoyable to spend an afternoon on the river with! We will definitely be back and tell family and friends this is the only company to use for the area!
★★★★★Jessica LinderWe had a great experience and would recommend if you’re looking for a serene, relaxing float on the river. We were greeted immediately, signed our forms and taken a few short steps to where we began. Picked up with a fun group of other out of towners and a short ride back to the put-in spot. Great day, weather was perfect with intermittent clouds and sun. Float was about 2 and a half hours but would depend on local rainfall.
