Wunderschönes selbst geführtes Kajakfahren am Biltmore

We had a great time! Staff was super helpful and information of the route and what to expect. They bus you to the drop off location and assist you get getting in the water. Would definitely do this again!

A bit longer than what we would have preferred, there was no water, nobody mentioned, or provided any or sold any, no nobody mentioned sunblock until you were at the waters edge, not much to look at,

This was a leisurely kayak paddle that was all down river. We paddled basically just to steer, but there some large rocks to avoid and few little rapids. You don’t see much of the Biltmore, so don’t sign up if that is all you are interested in. The kayaks are all single, sit on tops. Unless you have a child that can’t paddle by themselves, then you can ask for a tandem upon arrival. No cushion or seat to sit on, but there is a backrest. The weather was predicted to be cloudy & in the 60’s, but it turned out to be sunny & 70’s and I was sorry I didn’t wear a hat or sunscreen. We saw otters swimming in front of us, lots of geese, a couple herons, a couple cormorants, several turtles. The staff was nice, friendly, they gave us a thorough safety talk before driving us up to the drop off. Our party of 3 was alone on the river until we got to the Biltmore’s property, then we saw a few other kayakers and a couple tubers. I would recommend you BYO water, I did not see any for sale and you can refill from a faucet at the outpost. They did have a selection of adult beverages for sale, tho????. This outfitter has several different activity choices, so pick one & get out there!
