We went on an outdoor adventure trip of a lifetime with ⁠River Expeditions⁠, the #1 lodging and adventure property & rafting outfitter in the New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia.

In this episode we're recounting every moment of the best three days kayaking and white water rafting on the New River, zip lining in the West Virginia forest, and living in luxury in the massive cabins at River Expeditions. We've also created a 3 Day New River Gorge Itinerary for you to replicate this trip!

The Exact Trip We Took with River Expeditions:

• 3 nights in a luxury cabin
• 1 zipline tour
• 1 Upper New River Full Day Float - option to ride in the raft or in the inflatable duckies, we recommend the duckies!
• 1 Lower New River Full Day Rafting

Tips for a Rafting Adventure in New River Gorge

• Rafting season is from May-October
• Bring and wear sunscreen and bug spray
• Wear a long sleeve shirt and pants to avoid sunburn, but pack aloe vera just in case
• Wear water shoes or Tevas during the rafting
• Research and confirm weather before your trip so you can pack accordingly
• West Virginia roads are narrow and windy in lots of places, especially as you are driving through the gorge
• Have cash to tip the guides
