ZALOO’S OFFERS THE BEST CANOE, KAYAK & TUBE TRIPS IN N.C.
Situated on the New River in Jefferson, NC, Zaloo’s Canoes offers the finest canoe, kayak, and tube trips in the area. After starting as a small canoe rental service out of the back of a pickup truck on the side of the road in 1976, Zaloo’s has worked hard over the last 46 years to become one of the oldest and friendliest river outfitters in the area. We specialize in fun and exciting boat and tube trips for families, friends, and groups on one of the most historic and scenic North Carolina rivers, which also happens to be an American Heritage River. The New River is a great canoeing, kayaking, and tubing river for a child’s or beginner’s first river experience — pets love it too! With its gentle flow and beautiful surroundings, the New River is sure to wow and stun the whole family and provide a priceless set of unforgettable memories.
PLAN YOUR WHOLE ESCAPE TO THE COOLEST CORNER IN NC!

EXCITING AND FUN RIVER ADVENTURE
We did the 5-mile kayaking trip with my 4-year-old on a tandem with me and my wife on a single. Staff was very friendly and helpful and they are taking all precautions in dealing with “the germs.”

Beautiful relaxing river trip. I have been coming to Ashe County for years and this was my first trip with Zaloos
