We offer both a 2 hour and a 4 hour ride on the tide. Your adventure begins when you board our Zodiacs with the anticipation of the Tidal Bore, the first wave of the incoming tidal surge. This bore may reach 1-10 feet in height depending on tidal and channel conditions. Our skilled guides ride the crest of this wave for approximately 1/2 mile up river. The passing of the famous “Tidal Bore” signals the start of natural sand rapids which cover huge expanses of sand bars along a 10 mile stretch of the Shubenacadie River. Our larger, quieter motors allow for more passes through each set of these rapids. Following this exhilarating adventure you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this fascinating area during the cruise back to home base . Our knowledgeable guides will answer any questions you may have.
We provide personal flotation devices (PFD’s) and rain suits for cool days.
What a great way to have spent my birthday! From start to finish the experience with River Runners was wonderful! Friendly staff especially Noah, our guide, who made sure our... read more safety was the most important, but too, made sure we understood the life of the river itself! Also, Ky, who drove and picked us up, great recommendations all around!
My family of 5 did the full day Royal Gorge whitewater rafting trip and it was amazing!!! Our guide Luke was absolutely great!!!! The staff were flexible and accommodating as... read more our plan changed for 2 of our rafters (originally only doing 1/2 day). We ended up all going the full trip but the staff included us for lunch and we’re going to make a special trip to bring us back. They just made everything so easy and our experience fabulous!!! Will use them again!!! And definitely recommend for others!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic experience. My family and I did the family float. Charlie was the best. She interacted with my kids and really added to everyone's enjoyment of the trip. My... read more 5yo especially enjoyed getting to help paddle, and though my daughter didn't want to try too, her and Charlie connected over their similar interests. Wetsuits, jackets, neoprene shoes, and helmets are available without an extra charge. There is also a grill. I very highly recommend floating with them if in the area, or even just making a special trip for it.
The guides were great!. Funny and kept the kids involved teaching them how to work as a team and paddle.
We did the full day - morning was Big Horn Sheep Canyon and the afternoon was the royal gorge. We had a blast. Our guide was Luke and... read more he was great. He has a great personality, fun and patient with us paddlers. Lunch was a deli lunch, but a great one. The deli meats were great cuts, lots of extras to make your sandwhich, great chips and cookies from a local bakery. We rafted in July, but still had Class 3 & 4 rapids. It was a great ride and the highlight of our trip to Southwest Colorado! River Runners had great facilities to change, souvenirs and photos! I'd go again!
