Highlights
  • Downtown Nashville - See a different side of Nashville as you relax on the river and paddle three miles downstream with your guide to downtown Nashville, right in the middle of Broadway! We provide the shuttle, all equipment and basics instruction. We also provide complimentary water and sunscreen. Just show up and we take care of the rest!

Safe, enjoyable and first class paddling experiences are our goal! We operate tours in the heart of beautiful Music City, Nashville, TN.

Our kayaks are rated for up to 300 pounds and it is very important that guests do not exceed the weight limit due to risk of capsizing. NO ALCOHOL is allowed on tours. Strong headwinds and current can increase the difficulty and duration of your trip. This is an open commercial waterway with operating boats and barges. We will be kayaking through an industrial section of the city to view the skyline. We will have little space for storage. Please leave valuables in vehicle.

Wonderful outdoor Nashville experience - This was an awesome experience. The guys were super helpful and accommodating to us and our kids. This was a laid back and great outdoor adventure for a family. You could go as quickly as you wanted or just lay back and enjoy nature. We will definitely do this again. Don’t hesitate go ahead and book this on your next trip to Nashville.

Great!! Highly recommended activity while in Nashville! - Excellent trip. We were greeted by the team and given an induction on Kayaking and safety guidance for the river. All safety equipment was provided, including waterproof cases for our mobile phones. The kayaking is great and suitable for all levels including anyone who has never done this before. The river has a lovely current that will do most of the hard work for you. The kayaks are stable and comfortable and you can effectively float down the river if you wish, with a little steering required. Great fun and highly recommended. Thanks to the team for a great trip!
