Delaware River Family Trips
When you're responsible for planning a group outing, finding something that works for everyone can be the hardest part.
You want an activity that's memorable without feeling overly complicated. You want people to actually spend time together instead of splitting off into different corners of a venue. And ideally, you want something more interesting than repeating the same dinner, party, or indoor event you've already done.
A group outdoor adventure in the Pocono Mountains gives you a different option.
With Adventure Sports, your group can experience the Delaware River while canoeing, kayaking, or rafting through the scenic Delaware Water Gap. It's an opportunity to trade screens, schedules, and everyday distractions for fresh air, mountain scenery, and time together on the water.
Give Your Family a Day That's Actually an Adventure
Some of the best family memories happen when you leave the usual routine behind.
On the Delaware River, the experience begins as soon as you get on the water.
You'll paddle together, take in the scenery, watch for wildlife, and experience the river at your own pace. Instead of everyone finding something separate to do, the river gives your family one adventure to share.
That can make a day of paddling feel very different from another trip to an attraction where you're following a schedule or moving from one activity to the next.
Here, the journey is the activity.
Spend Time Together Without the Usual Distractions
A family river trip creates something that's increasingly difficult to find: uninterrupted time together.
There are no televisions to watch or different rooms for everyone to disappear into. You're outside, sharing the same scenery and experiencing the same journey down the Delaware River.
You might laugh through an unexpected splash, stop to appreciate the view, spot an animal along the shoreline, or simply enjoy a quiet stretch of river together.
The little moments often become the ones everyone talks about afterward.
Make the River Part of Your Pocono Family Vacation
If you're visiting the Pocono Mountains as a family, it's easy to fill an itinerary with places to go.
A Delaware River trip gives you an opportunity to experience the landscape rather than simply visit another attraction.
Adventure Sports' trips travel through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where forested mountains and the river create the backdrop for your day.
Depending on where you paddle and what you encounter, your family may see bald eagles, great blue herons, turtles, deer, or other wildlife found throughout the river corridor.
Even without a wildlife sighting, there's plenty to experience simply by seeing the Delaware Water Gap from the water.
Family Rates for Your Delaware River Trip
Adventure Sports currently offers a family rate for qualifying children ages 2 through 17 who travel as an additional passenger in a canoe or raft.
The family rate applies when a child travels as the third or fourth person in a canoe or the fifth or sixth person in a raft. Current eligibility, pricing, and trip availability should always be confirmed when planning your outing.
For families trying to decide between different boats and routes, Adventure Sports can help explain the available options and how they apply to your group.
