Shenandoah River Outfitters, based in Luray, Virginia, operates guided and self-guided river experiences and cabin rentals along the Shenandoah River. The company offers a range of river trips — from short beginner floats to whitewater runs — plus tubing, multi-hour rafting trips, two-day trips, and shuttle-supported scenic floats. Several trips are packaged as Luray Caverns combos for guests who want a land-and-water day.
Cabin options include Angler, Drifter, Paddler, Sinker, Blue Heron, Osprey, Wood Duck, Hook, Line, The River Lure, and others situated on wooded acres or riverfront sites. Some cabins list private hot tubs, stone fire pits, and pet-friendly accommodations, and many are described as minutes from Shenandoah National Park. Cabins vary from rustic log styles to more modern amenities.
Trip logistics are organized through an on-site office where guests check in, receive wristbands or armbands, watch a safety video, and pick up maps and life jackets. Shuttle service returns guests to their vehicles after scenic floats; staff assist with cooler unloading and securing personal items. Safety briefings and route maps are provided for whitewater and beginner trips.
The business emphasizes accessible river recreation for families, beginners, and experienced paddlers through staged launches like Bixler’s Bridge, Bealer’s Ferry, Foster’s, and Burner’s Bottom. With a broad menu of rafting, tubing, and cabin stays, Shenandoah River Outfitters supports day trips, overnight getaways, and two-day river adventures. Reservations are coordinated through the Luray office; guests should plan for pickup times when selecting shuttle specials and Luray Caverns combo tickets well in advance.
