Did the 7 mile float. Had a great experience at Hootentown. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Much better experience than other outfitters on James River that we've been to. Of course it was a wait getting on the bus to go up river. That happens. It's part of it.

Awesome place to rent a kayak or canoe for a day. We had to wait almost two hours past our scheduled time before we ever got into the river, but I’ll blame that on it being the start of summer and having a big group. Overall a really good experience and friendly staff. For sure will be back with hopefully less wait time.
