Riverboarding Adventure: Ride the Rapids on a Bodyboard Built for Whitewater
- 2hr 30min
What you'll do:
Riverboarding takes you straight into the heart of the rapids—think bodyboarding meets whitewater adventure, but way more accessible than kayaking. After a quick safety talk and gear-up session, you’ll hit the river with your expert guide to surf waves, float through rapids, and play in thrilling currents. Choose from a downstream ride for small groups or a park-and-play setup perfect for parties, where you can rotate in and out and chill riverside between laps. All gear is included—just show up ready for adrenaline, laughs, and unforgettable river fun!
Why we love it for your party:
Adrenaline without intimidation (Easier than kayaking, way more thrilling than tubing!)
Great for groups (Take turns, cheer each other on, and hang out riverside between laps)
All gear included (Just bring your crew, your swimsuit, and your sense of adventure)
Unique & memorable (Not your average river float or hike—this is an epic party memory in the making)
Fun + fitness (Get moving, laughing, and bonding while riding the rapids together!)
