Madison was awesome! She let our group know about the weather conditions ahead of time. My 2 friends were afraid of the tubing experience, so Madison jumped right in and went tubing with me!

Went tubing with Virginia Outdoor Center. Cracked my head open on a section that the locals called the meat grinder. No helmets provided and no warning. Go at your own peril.

Tubing on the Rappahnnock River with Virginia Outdoor Center was extraordinarily fun and spectacularly beautiful. The float was exciting but we never felt afraid of the flow speed or the small "rapids" we got to bob over. We saw so much wildlife, most exciting being a blue heron and also a sweet painter turtle swimming along with us! Madison was so awesome and helpful and we will be back again to try kayaking!!!

Extremely Disappointing and Unsafe Tubing Experience This was our first time tubing as a family, and sadly, it was a terrible experience from start to finish. The park is not built or managed properly for tubing. There were no visible signs, no clear guidance, and absolutely no safety protocols in place. My family was separated from the beginning, and we had no support from staff during the route. There were injuries involved, and what should’ve been a fun day turned into a stressful and chaotic ordeal. Compared to other tubing parks we’ve visited, this was by far the worst. From the moment we arrived, something felt off — and unfortunately, our instincts were right. There were no staff members or guides on the water as we were told. No markers or signs let us know how long the tubing path would be, and it felt never-ending. It’s especially dangerous for families with small children or for elderly individuals who may not be strong swimmers. To make matters worse, at the end of it all, no one from the staff offered any apologies, help, or concern. Everyone acted like this kind of chaos was normal. I would strongly discourage families — especially those with kids or older adults — from tubing at this location. It was an awful experience and not worth the risk.

Our group did the “Hole in the wall to Mott’s” canoe trip and had an amazing experience. We had a large group, and VOC worked hard to make sure they were able to accommodate everyone. The staff was excellent to work with during planning and while getting us into the river. I take my family on similar trips with our own equipment, so I REALLY appreciate how VOC handles all the transportation with these trips - it really simplifies the process for us. I highly recommend spending time on the Rappahannock, and I highly recommend VOC for helping you get out there.

During a rainy week, Madison worked to find a time for us to canoe Hole in the Wall to Mott's Run Landing. I appreciates the courtesy and professionalism displayed by Madison, Yan, and David. Well done, team.

Hole in wall to Mott’s run with my daughter in June of ‘24. A great chance to see the sights, have some talks, enjoy the river and get some time in before she headed off to college for the end of summer.

What a great family experience! VOC made it convenient and easy for us to enjoy a family adventure together! Candy and her staff were amazing, contacting us with weather updates and river levels that prevented us from having a bad experience. They gave us a free rain check to move our trip to a day that would give us a better experience on the river! Well done!
