Tennesseeans love the water, whether that’s spending a day kayaking down the Harpeth, walking along the banks of the Mississippi, or taking the pontoon out on beautiful Watauga Lake. But that’s not all that the state has to offer when it comes to aquatic adventure. Ok, so adventure might be a strong word, but this one-of-a-kind canal boat tour is actually pretty cool. So head on out to Nashville and hop on to an Opryland Delta Boat today – you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll learn!
There's not much in the Two Rivers area of Nashville, just because the massive Opryland complex takes up almost all of it.
The hotel resort has multiple indoor areas, including the "Delta" room that has an indoor river and a walking street (it looks like a small town) with shops and restaurants.

The hotel offers tours around the river on motorized canal boats manned by tour guides who will tell you all about the hotel and its indoor ecosystem.

While you can't see as much at night, doing the tour in the dark can be absolutely magical. It's even more magical during Christmas when there are lights and poinsettias everywhere.
You might think an indoor river tour sounds lame, but this indoor garden is 4.5 acres by itself, and that's just one of 3 indoor garden rooms in the hotel!
The tours generally operate during the day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and cost $10.50 for adults and $8.50 for kids. Check their website around the holidays for special holiday hours.
Parking at the hotel (especially around Christmas) can be tricky. You can valet at the door, or you can park for free at the mall and walk over. The hotel is located at 2800 Opryland Drive. Enjoy!
Get outside and check out one of the greenest and quietest towns in the entire state.
