Tar River Life offers kayak rentals, river tubing, and primitive camping across two locations: Bunn, North Carolina on the Tar River, and Wendell, North Carolina at Robertson Millpond Preserve, both about a 30-minute drive from Raleigh or Rocky Mount. The business is built for families wanting to get outside, disconnect, and get some exercise on the water.

Trips run by scheduled reservation, with shuttle buses departing on the hour to bring guests to the starting point of their kayak or tubing trip. Guests are asked to arrive 30 minutes early at the Bunn location for check-in. Primitive camping is available for those wanting to extend the outdoor experience overnight, and gift cards are available for guests who’d rather visit later in the season.

For families and groups near Raleigh or Rocky Mount looking for a relaxed kayaking or tubing trip on the Tar River or at Robertson Millpond Preserve, Tar River Life offers a straightforward, reservation-based outfitter with camping options at two locations.
