Float Asheville’s river, visit three local bars and breweries, and enjoy a relaxed four-hour outing with scenic views and a cooler of ice.
About this tour
Trade Asheville’s mountain trails for a laid-back float with local beer stops along the river. This four-hour Asheville Floating Bar Crawl Tour pairs scenic water views with a taste of the city’s brewery scene.
Settle into a commercial raft with life jackets and paddles, and bring your own beverages for the cooler packed with ice. Along the way, stop three times at local bars and breweries. At The Wedge Brewery at the Foundation, you can grab food from a food truck; the float ends at New Belgium Brewery. Expect to climb muddy riverbanks and descend stairs, and be comfortable on the water. Guests ages 15 and older can join with a parent but cannot consume alcohol.
Plan your ride before setting out: there’s no shuttle back to your vehicle, so a rideshare is recommended. Hominy Creek River Park is suggested for parking, and vehicles can be left overnight. Meet in the parking lot before the French Broad Outfitters gates, where you’ll find the Cedar Rock Adventures raft. Book the Asheville Floating Bar Crawl Tour for an easygoing mix of river scenery and brewery stops.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.72 from 54 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Asheville
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
