Routes
Falcon Floats 9 Mile Route:
Easily our customer's FAVORITE route and best value! We drop in at our private access, nine miles up the river and you float back to All American Floats. This is an all-day float that typically lasts between 4-6 hours and floats through some amazing scenery including the iconic Elephant Rock! It is all nature, with numerous swimming holes and beaches. Last departure for this route is 1-2pm daily.
Price: $27 per person, weekends and holidays
$22 per person, Monday through Friday!
Many competitors charge more per person for fewer miles, so both prices should be the best value on the river.
Falcon Floats 4 Mile Route:
We drop you in 4 miles upriver and you float back to All American Floats. Last call for this trip is 4pm daily (which is the latest departure anywhere on the river). This is a perfect trip for those tubing, wanting a shorter trip, or got to the river late in the day.
Price: $22 per person.
