At Tallulah Adventures we invite people to choose from a variety of activities ranging from outdoor recreation to art and music, and to curate an adventure experience that suits them. While for some this might be learning how to rock climb or slack line, kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding, going on a white water rafting trip for the first or hundredth time. Others may find adventure in learning about the local history of the area, observing the local flora & fauna, or even taking a painting class while snacking on something from our cafe.
