KAYAK TRIPS
Starting at $42 Single / $66 Double
Are you ready for something different than canoeing? We offer 1- and 2-man “sit-in” kayaks. Kayaks offer easier maneuverability and less tipiness than canoes. They are easy enough for kids 10 and up.
CANOE TRIPS
Starting at $53
Our lower river canoe trip is a family favorite. Our canoes accommodate 2–3 adults or 2 adults and up to 2 children, as long as both children are under 4 1/2 feet tall, for safety reasons. Kids love to be towed in a tube behind the canoe as well.
PADDLE BOARD TRIPS
Starting at $45
What a great way to make your way down the Platte River. Stand up paddleboarding (SUP) offers a fun, relaxing way to get unique views of all the flora and fauna. Been down the river on a canoe or kayak? Try a paddle board and get a completely different experience.
RAFT TRIPS
Starting at $135
Adventure down the river as a group. Our rafts float down the same stretch of river as canoes and kayaks. Trip time is between 3-4 hours. Enjoy a day on the water! We offer 4-, 6-, and 8-man rafts. Make sure to call and reserve as the rafts are in limited supply.
