When the sun is shining the outdoor opportunities in Tennessee are expansive. You can choose to hike in the state’s mountainous region, you can try out patio dining with a glass of wine in hand, or maybe go fishing on one of the many reservoirs. In downtown Nashville, a kayaking trip will give you the opportunity to view the city from an entirely different vantage point, and you can upgrade your experience to an all-out scavenger hunt! Grab a few friends, give River Queen Voyages a call, and get ready for a day you won’t soon forget.
River Queen Voyages was founded in 2015, and it is the first river tour company to operate in downtown Nashville. Known as the city's "fun authority," a kayak tour boasts some of the best views of the skyline and is great for groups of all ages and sizes.
There are myriad outdoor opportunities with River Queen Voyages, including the popular Pedal Pontoon that allows visitors two hours of waterfront socializing, and you can choose from three kayaking tours along guided routes on the river. You can book per tour or you can purchase a season pass and enjoy the experience multiple times a year.
It's the scavenger hunt on the river that really ups the ante on a classic kayak tour, though. River Queen Voyages gives kayakers the opportunity to upgrade a river tour to a scavenger hunt, which means your kayaking experience will include trivia questions, clues to find in the surrounding scenery, and even prizes for the winner!
River Queen Voyages does a great job of staying focused on fun while prioritizing safety. You can book tours from the spring to fall seasons, and there is a minimum of six people per tour. Children are allowed as long as they are over the age of 7, and may be required to tandem kayak with an adult.
Each kayak trip includes a shuttle upriver to the takeoff point, a kayak, a paddle, a life jacket, and a safety demonstration to keep you paddling with confidence. The fun is a given, but you will also have the chance to experience stunning views of Nashville.
River Queen Voyages has the best scavenger hunt in Tennessee, and you don't want to skip out on the opportunity. Prices and dates of operation vary depending on the size of your group and the weather.
