The Downtown Tour consists of an approximately 1.5-2 hour paddle down the Cumberland River, ending in Downtown Nashville. Our groups launch out of Shelby Park. The gentle current of the Cumberland River directs paddlers back downtown, where paddlers enjoy some of the most unique sights and sounds of Music City USA.

You will see plenty of turtles and have a beautiful view of the Nashville skyline. Tour guides bring a cooler with water, drinks and sunscreen. Our tour guides are fantastic! They'll give you some history of the river and recommendations for downtown activities, and restaurants for after the tour.

We also have Kayak tours and recently added SUP yoga and a SUP fitness class.
