Get on the French Broad River with Asheville Adventure Company, the only rafting outfitter located inside Asheville city limits. Choose an easy self-guided tubing trip, paddle a calm-water kayak route past the Biltmore grounds, or head out with a guide for Section 9 whitewater rafting on Class II and III rapids. 

Trips are designed to make river time simple, with gear provided, shuttle service included, and cooler carriers available to rent for float trips. Calm Biltmore floats are a great fit for families, first-time paddlers, and groups who want scenery without big rapids, while Section 9 delivers a more active adventure through Pisgah National Forest. Small groups, helpful guides, and downtown-friendly logistics keep the focus on fun instead of planning. 

Add party bus or group transportation options for brewery outings, celebrations, and easy post-river exploring around Asheville after your trip with friends, family, or coworkers in town nearby afterward, too.
