Great people to work with. Phillip was extremely helpful and made the whole rental process easy for both the bass boat and pontoon boat. Everything went smoothly, and the customer service was excellent. Definitely a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend them. read more

Chris and his staff was amazing, he is very informational and laid back. Would definitely rent a boat from him again.

The staff member tat took care of us was awesome. nice new tunes and vests. Trip was about 2.2 hours to cover 3.25 river miles. Very relaxing. We never saw anyone else the entire trip. read more

I didn't get the young mans name, but he was amazing. He had a lot going on, and I am glad business is doing well. But even though he was very busy he tended to us in a very efficient and professional manner. Yet he was very friendly and informative. He was excited about the river and the business He told us about what the city had done and things they were hoping to do to improve tourism and the river. He was very delightful. He made our day so amazing. I live in Moravian Falls and took my family on this float trip to see how the local activities are and this one was a winner! Thank you for helping us make a wonderful memery! read more

We had a group of 11 to celebrate my friend's birthday. Ages ranging from pre-teen to late 50's. Phillip was our guide and did an amazing job leading us to the drop off location then shuttling us from the pickup point. He was very informative and knowledgeable. Very courteous and accommodating. We all used individual tubes and it was very reasonable and worth the money. We decided to all connect together using rope, straps and carabiners from the beginning to stay together. But after getting caught up in some low hanging tree limbs, it would have been better if we had broken up in pairs or quads. It was a sunny day with temps in the 80's. We all wore water shoes because the bottom of the river is rocky. Having a water proof case is essential if you take your phone/car keys. (Test it prior to tube day). Sunglasses with a strap was very helpful also. There is a bathroom facility (port-a-John style) at the drop off point where you can potty/change clothes. Highly recommend FOA Foothills Outdoor Adventures. read more

My mom, friend & I went tubing here and the staff and the experience was memorable. Price is very reasonable and the Yadkin river was moderately fast moving. I strongly suggest if going in individual tubes, that you bring some carabiners attached to nylon rope, so you can link everyone together. Trust me, it's much more enjoyable navigating together. We went on a Friday afternoon and we only ran into one other group rafting. Thank goodness that group came along because they helped rescue my mom from between two tree stumps in an a rapid moving area of the Yadkin. I sailed passed and my friend attempted to help her and clocked my mom in her head with her foot and then was pulled downstream. A huge thank you to that group, if you ever read this post. They linked us up to their rafts and we all floated the rest of the way down the river. read more

Foothills Outdoor Adventures - Tubing down the Yadkin River. - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Wilkesboro, North Carolina

Really nice people. Want to make sure you enjoy your day! Great price. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

We came all the way from Arizona to tube on the Yadkin River in North Carolina and I have to say it was an amazing time.. We have 3 boys aging from 4yrs to 9yrs old and they all had the time of their life. Great workout to stay away from all the trees but the water and pace of the river was perfect. The fun was trying to stay away from the overgrown trees. Took us all a little of 2 hours to get to the pick up spot. As soon as we got to our land mark spot to call John was right on point at pickup. He then took us all back on the paddy wagon! My boys were thrilled and we will be back!! read more

Enjoyed the day, and really nice people. The river is gorgeous and not difficult to kayak. But wasn't required to WEAR life vest. Trust me, despite it being a "flat river" area, please WEAR a life vest!!!! I capsized (tree of course and in deep section, couldn't touch) and was not WEARing a vest. It turned out ok but not without some real effort by all 4 in our party and serious bruises and scrapes for 2 of us. I shudder to think how it could've turned out to be a tragic day ... so no matter what they tell you, WEAR IT!!! read more

Worst boat rental experience I've ever had. Classic bait and switch. They show a photo of a newer pontoon boat on their website, but the actual pontoon boat we rented was horrible. The boat they rented to us was disgusting. The storage bins had never been cleaned out and were filled with dead insects. The engine burned oil and smoked the entire time. There weren't any seats so they put fold-out lawn chairs on the boat and there weren't even enough of those for six people. Do yourself a favor and rent from the marina. I don't recommend you rent from John and Foothills Outdoor Adventures. Miserable experience that ruined our fourth of July. read more

Went tubing through this company. The people are great and southern! The price was good and they included the cooler tube for free! They gave us pretty good tips. We went down the yadkin river and it was pretty but holy cow the amount of logs sticking out into the river can make it tight to go through. The river its self isn't the clearest and don't plan on seeing the bottom, you won't. They only thing I think I'd change other than the river its self is not mentioning that spiders will fall from the trees if you get to close, it had my mothers anxiety up for most of the trip down the river. I recommend it if your a strong swimmer with a Large group. read more

This is one of my favorite summer activities!!! I love the tub - you can fit several people comfortably and they provide the coolers and chairs! You can hang out, snack, float - it's perfect! Chris is the best! Thanks for making my birthday awesome today! Can't wait to come back! read more
