Our group had an absolute blast kayaking on the river w/ Sam! Great tour and amazing weather (which Sam said he ordered up). Phenomenal way to cap off our trip. Go visit rock town river ASAP! :)

A perfect day biking the Arkansas River Trail & 2 Rivers Park! Samuel (owner of the bike and kayaking rental) - and his doggy Grizzly! - was funny and smart; he made sure me & my parents knew how to work our bikes and where to bike for the prettiest views and smoothest riding. He was also kind enough to let us keep the bikes for a half-hour beyond our rental window at no extra cost. Ill definitely be going back!

Amazing tour. Sam and Grizz were great. Beautiful views of the city in super calm and safe river. Hard to believe that your are in the heart of downtown on the Arkansas river and it feels like a lake. Would love to take my wife here next time. Thank you!

We enjoyed our sunset kayak tour a lot. These guys took care of everything and we enjoyed a wonderful evening paddling on the Little Maumelle River. Great fun and they have bikes for rent too-right on the river trail. We have a beautiful city and the kayak and biking tours really let you see the full beauty.

RTRO is such an awesome local experience. My wife and I have rented from Samuel and his team multiple times now. When friends come in from out of town, this is definitely on the must do list. Everything is cleaned and prepped so that all you have to do is show up and enjoy your time on the water. Whether youre a professional, or very much a beginner, Rock Town River Outfitters takes all of the necessary measures to ensure that your experience is exciting and memorable in the best of ways.

This is a great addition to downtown. Our tour guide Brent was fantastic, he made us feel safe and comfortable. The location at the Marina was perfect. I was a little apprehensive about kayaking on the Arkansas River because of rumors, but after this experience I look forward to floating it again and again. We did a Sunday at 3 tour and Im now excited about scheduling a sunset tour with Rock Town River Outfitters!!

Just got back from doing their Sunday bike and brunch tour and it was amazing. From start to finish it was a perfect mixture of pain and pleasure. The food stops are delicious from beginning to end. Sam and his entire team (Brent, Katelyn Franchesca) are doing a great job to present Little Rock as a great town for foodies. If you havent been to Little Rock get her by next Saturday and do the Bike and Brunch Tour next Sunday.You can also rent bikes and do Kayak tours as well. Get out there and get going. #Antiguan #Arkansas #BikeandBrunch #Rocktownriveroutfitters #arkansasfood #thecathead #flyawaybrewery

I’ve been twice!! So friendly, courteous, informative & helpful. I had never been kayaking and by the time I was in the water, I felt completely prepared for our adventure.

Had a great experience! Awesome customer service. Took my grandson out for his first river experience, the instructor was so supportive and extremely easy to work with. And Grizz the dog helped launch the boats!

Excellant customer service. We went on the sunset kayake tour and had the best experience. Friendly staff, nice equipment, and a great experience. The views of downtown while floating the river are incredible. The experience was great and we would definitely do it again and reccomend to others.

My husband and I had a great time kayaking from the Little Maumelle Boat Launch. It was a beautiful day and they took care of everything for us.

Very disappointed. Couldnt rent a bike on a Saturday. First we went to the river market location and saw the sign that theyre only at two rivers due to covid. That information is not on google maps (though I now know its on the website). Would have known if theyd have answered my calls. Called several times no answer. Rerouted to two rivers location and theres no one there. Supposedly theyre open saturday 9am-6pm but we had to give up.

My wife and I rented bikes today from Brent at Rock Town River Outfitters to ride the Arkansas River Trail from downtown Little Rock. The bikes worked great, reasonably priced, and Brent was very helpful with directions and suggestions. We had a great time and would recommend Brent and his company to anyone!

I just want to say this place is amazing! The staff here are so warm welcoming, super helpful, and show that they care about their customers 10000%. The view was also amazing. Thank you so much, Rock Town River Outfitters

Great sunset kayak tour! Easy to book online!My husband is notoriously difficult to buy for, because he can buy anything he wants and he will. What I have to do is find something and keep it a secret as long as I can so he doesnt just buy it for himself. Im so fortunate that he had a friend who loves the water as much as he does so they could kayak together and I could stay safe and dry on land. 10/10 do recommend. Their guide, Sam, made the trip amazing!!!

Was in town and wanted to take a ride along the Arkansas River Trail. Conveniently located, service was courteous and hassle free. Was outfitted in about five minutes. Bike was a single shift (probably a six speed) womens bike (needed something which had a soft saddle). Bike also had fenders on the wheels which came in handy due to the rains earlier in the day. Saddle adjustment accommodated my long legs. Saw some people on bikes but saw a lot of people using the scooters for around the city. The 16 mile loop was perfect for a two hour trek. Great views from both Big Dam Bridge and Clinton Presidential Park Bridge. The trail on the north side of the river travels mostly through parks. Recommended.

Fantastic experience. Im new to kayaking and felt very comfortable after only 30 minutes or so on the water. Sam was a great guide and gave some unique insight into the city. There was a concert going on right by the river at one point on the Evening Sunset Tour, so we all stayed for a bit of a free listen. Got to paddle alongside a barge and under a train. Very unique and fun experience. Im glad there is finally something like this in Little Rock!

Did the Sunday brunch tour and had an excellent time. Guild was friendly and full of good information. All the stops were great with amazing food and drinks. Distance was perfect length and had nice views among the river and bridges. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to sight see a little and try some great food along the way.

. I can not say enough about Sam. His love of the river and desire to share it led to one of the best vacations Ive had. He hooked me up with kayaks and SUPs, and gave great information, safety tips and history. He is so easy to work with, is so accommodating and just down to earth. The prices are very affordable and the equipment is well maintained. I highly recommend the sunset tour. The city lights are spectacular. My only regret is I didnt have time to rent bikes but I will be back!

Looks like a lot of fun, I spoke to a gentleman the day before we came down he said that we would not need to make any reservations for the day however when we arrived just a few minutes after they opened, we were told that all the bikes were rented out for a school tour and we did not get to rent bikes and ride like we planned. School tours are usually planned pretty far in advance. Ruined our plans for the day. We may come back one day, but definitely wont be running back.

We had a terrific experience with Rock Town River Outfitters! We had so much fun renting bikes AND kayaks and we are telling our friends about the experiences. Safe, affordable, family-friendly, fantastic experience and the customer service went above and beyond what we expected.We absolutely recommend using RTRO - and when we come back to Little Rock they will be one of our first stops!

Amazing date night! My wife and I haven’t had time to go out in a very long time after our little one was born. We wanted to do something a little romantic, but we’re nervous to just rent kayaks and go by ourselves because neither one of us are seasoned kayakers. So we did a sunset kayak tour with Sam and Grizz, and it was perfect. The sunset was gorgeous, the water was tranquil, and the light up vests were really cool at night. Sam was extremely professional and helpful. He got us all set up, showed us how to get in the kayak safely, and made us feel comfortable on the water. What was really impressive though was Sam’s interpersonal skills. After we got on the water, my wife and I barely knew he was there. It was the perfect balance of being helpful and informative while at the same time, hanging back and letting my wife and I have our special night. Highly, highly recommended. Thanks again!

My husband and I are new to kayaking so we decided to start with kayak 101, learn the basics before going on any tour. Samuel was our guide. He was an awesome instructor. He made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. Highly recommend!

I hope the local community and visitors learn about this new business - the kayaking tour exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend it. We did a morning tour for an hour and a half along the Arkansas river and it was so beautiful. Our guide, Brent, was professional and passionate about kayaking and we knew we were in good hands. We already want to return for the sunset tour!

Great place (and only place) to rent a road bike in LR. Rented the Fuji 2.1 and rode the River Trail which is accessible from near the shop. Sam was extremely helpful and friendly. Great service, great location and great bike. Highly recommend.

I rented a bike for a couple of hours - great location - right near the Arkansas Trail. Great service - in and out and on my way in ten minutes. The bike was super, well maintained and clean. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely use Bobbys again on my trips to Little Rock.Updated June 4, 2016 - you need to update your website for the hours. Just called and found out that you dont open until 11am on Sundays (just as it is getting hot, thanks), it still says 8am on your website.

We had an awesome experience! The rental was super easy online, just pick and reserve your bikes and pay online so that when you get there it only takes a couple of minutes to sign the rental form and get set up with a bike. Very neat to see Little Rock this way, and have already recommended to friends

This place is awesome! Sam and his pupper Griz were so helpful and friendly. We did a standup paddle board class which was a blast then ended up renting them for an additional 2 hours because we were having such a good time. Super affordable and a great way to spend a few hours. Two rivers bridge was peaceful and pretty. Cant get this in Dallas!

Review №34

My family did the half day rental - 3 bikes and a tandem for the five of us and we covered 23 miles. We were quickly out of town and enjoyed the scenery as we peddled West along the north bank of the river. Tristin opened the store early for us on Memorial Day and we were grateful for his flexibility. It was great value and a great day for the family. We would definitely go back!

Brent made todays basic kayaking class a true learning experience. Ive been paddling for years, but in just a few hours on the water with these guys... I learned a lot of new tricks! Looking forward to our next excursion. Im really excited about trying the evening tours next!

Excellent rental shop! Great employees... Michael was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Rental bikes came with locks and flat kits and there are great rides up to 35 miles with minimal navigation, mostly on beautiful bike paths. Highly recommend!!!

I wanted to plan something unique for my brother, sister in law, and niece when they came to visit Little Rock. We biked the river trail and it was awesome! The staff @ bbh was super friendly and made a great recommendation on a bike for my brother and niece (7 years old). He also gave recommendations on where to stop to eat. Each bike had a pack on it with a bike lock, key, map of area trails, and enough space to store your wallet/phone. Will definitely be booking again!

We were a little worried going into it (my husband was worried it would hurt his back and I was worried about looking like a fool in a kayak) but we ended up having a blast! Sam and Grizz were great guides and made the entire experience relaxing and fun. I highly recommend going on a kayak tour (especially the sunset one). This is the most fun we’ve had while visiting Arkansas!

Fantastic first-time experience! Reserved and paid online, bikes were ready and waiting when we arrived. Friendly staff made suggestions for best way to bike the river trail and let us know areas to avoid due to construction. Off and rolling in no time for a fun afternoon with my teenaged kids. All four of us highly recommend!

I have never had such an amazing adventure and unbelievable people. The owner took a never before kayaked person and turn me into a lover of the activity. The owner personally stayed with us during our sunset tour on July 4th which was my first time in the water. I cannot wait to go again.
