Mid-Afternoon Tour

Price: $85

1:30-4pm

If you're the type of person who thinks 75° F is cold—and summer is meant for the sun—then this is the Asheville paddling tour you'll definitely want to take.

Summer temperatures can be 85° F at the hottest part of the day, and the gentle French Broad River makes for the perfect afternoon dip. 

At the end of the tour, paddlers conveniently find themselves in the heart of the River Arts District, where breweries, restaurants, and artisan studios are a 5-minute stroll away. 

*Note: The river can often be crowded during this time—particularly on holidays and weekends. If you'd prefer not to share the river with tubers, we highly recommend our 9:30am mid-morning tour or our late day sunset tour.
