Wahoo's Adventures purchases river dog adventures in elizabethton

We’re thrilled to announce that River Dog Adventures is now officially operated by Wahoo’s Adventures, North Carolina and Tennessee’s longest-running river outfitter.

If you’ve tubed or rafted with River Dog before, you already know the charm of the Watauga: wide, family-friendly flows and a whole lot of river magic. Now, we’re adding 47 years of Wahoo’s expertise to Elizabethton, TN — blending what you loved about River Dog with the professionalism and fun Wahoo’s is known for.

 What’s New:

• Online booking & Waiver completion made easier through our secure Wahoo’s Adventures platform
• Tubing trips added to the Watauga River lineup (yes, we’re floating now too!)
• Upgraded guest experience from check-in to shuttle to splash
• Co-branded gear: River Dog tubes are staying, with Wahoo’s quality and safety baked in

 What’s Staying the Same:

• A similar stretch of the Watauga River
• The same friendly feel and community connection
• Affordable, family-friendly rafting and tubing trips
• Friendly guides and shuttle routines

We’re keeping the spirit of River Dog alive — just with a bit more wind in the sails.
