    Sweet little butterfly on my friends hand.
    Wendy M.

    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.

    Tubing down the Yadkin River.

    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.

    Great time!! Worth every penny!

    Great workout to stay away from all the trees but the water and pace of the river was perfect.

    Thank you NC River Rides for an amazing and magical experience. Our curated trip started at…read moredaybreak with a warm welcome from Ryann and Tony. We proceeded on the quiet and peaceful Yadkin River with Tony covering safety guidelines and important information about the current conditions of the river. We started our birding while Tony watched the river alerting us to specific conditions, allowing us to focus more on birding. Tony also gave us information about locations popular with birds. During calm times, Tony gave us a history of the area and the Yadkin River. The highlight of the morning for all of us was watching the Belted Kingfishers interact with each other fishing along the way. The mid-morning break was a scene from a five-star dining experience. Ryann spent hours preparing a special breakfast for us. On a river island, she setup a table with a white linen tablecloth and food to satisfy any palette. After this filling rest stop, we continued on the river finding other birds including an Indigo Bunting. Again, Tony's support gave us the time to bird and soak in the beautiful surroundings. We finished our trip watching swallows dance around their mud homes. We are deeply grateful to Ryann and Tony for their efforts providing us with a memorable and magical trip. We highly recommend their tours to anyone looking for a wonderful birding experience or for a relaxing trip enjoying the beauty of the Yadkin River. Anita and Rod Tosten
