Best Summer Activity in Reno – Float the Truckee River

Reno’s Premier Truckee River Float Experience

Float through downtown Reno with sunshine overhead, skyline views around you, and plenty of Insta-worthy moments. Enjoy a mix of chill times, some adventurous rapids, and playful eddies during your 1.5 to 2 hour experience. The river is active and this is not a typical lazy float.

We've got the rest covered: the tubes, transport, and everything in between. Your float is self-guided and you should expect a memorable and active day on the water.

No timetables. No car juggling. Just show up ready for an unforgettable river adventure with your crew.
