The Lower New River Rafting Camping 2-Day flat-out has everything. If you like exploring on hikes, gently floating down lazy stretches of river, camping that's cool enough for veterans and easy enough for first timers, and tackling some of the world's best whitewater, you cannot miss Class VI's 2-Day.You'll begin the first day by meeting your guides and learning how to pack up river-style. Don't worry about not having enough room--our customized gear boats are like the RVs of whitewater rafting! Soon you'll be on the New River, navigating the always exciting first day's rapids in a ducky. Arriving at camp in the afternoon, you'll begin to relax and enjoy everything that riverside campouts have to offer, from our gourmet surf and turf dinner with all the fixin's to the endless fireside river stories over drinks and s'mores.
On day two, you'll trade your duckies for full size rafts and get ready for the Lower New River. There you'll tackle the big class III, IV, and V rapids that have made our home river famous the world over. With classic whitewater like The Railroad Rapids, Keeney's Creek, and Old Nasty, there's nothing quite like this section for big thrill rafting! When all's said and done, you'll arrive back at Class VI Base with plenty of smiles and memories to last long past your 2-Day adventure!
Upon arriving you will check-in, have breakfast and enjoy coffee and juice as you pack your personal gear into our waterproof dry bags and change into your river gear.
