The Great Gay Rainbow River AdventureSaturday, August 15th, 2020Join SarasotaOUT.com and new friends for a fun-filled day brought to you by myXOadventures.com as we tube or kayak down the aptly named Rainbow River!
|
You'll jump in your chosen vessel and relax as 40 guys & girls meander down the river for the afternoon while enjoying the beautiful crystal clear waters and get up close and personal with a variety of wildlife such as birds, fish, turtles, and otters.
The Rainbow River is approximately a 3 hour drive North of Sarasota, so The Great Gay Tubing Adventure is a chance for you to sit back and relax or have a couple of cocktails while My XO Adventures drives us roundtrip by motor-coach to the Rainbow River Park.
No matter if you're flying solo or going with a large group of friends, you'll have a blast meeting new people, soaking up some sunshine, and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. The tubing adventure takes approximately 4 hours to complete, so plan accordingly. We recommend bringing a cooler with water, food, etc. for the excursion. Please see Q&A below for more detailed information.
