See a different side of Nashville as you relax on the river and float three miles downstream with your guide to downtown Nashville, right in the middle of Broadway! We provide all safety equipment, paddle introduction and basics. We also provide complimentary water and sunscreen. Just show up and we take care of the rest!
Our paddle boards are rated for up to 400 pounds and it is very important that guests do not exceed the weight limit due to risk of capsizing. NO ALCOHOL is allowed on tours. Strong headwinds and current can increase the difficulty and duration of your trip. This is an open commercial waterway with operating boats, barges and we will be paddle boarding through an industrial section of the city to view the skyline.
