super fun float and the shuttle buses back run like every 5-10 minutes. great way to relax for 3 hours. prices for tune rental and shuttle back are super reasonable. i recommend grabbing a paddle for the float down. the river slows down quite a bit in some spots
The route is very beautiful and it could be a wonderful way to spend a day! However - there was very little direction from the staff except where to get out. If you are in a group we recommend you stay together as best possible. One of our tubes popped and my daughter had to swim the last '20 minutes' to the beach. No staff monitor the route so you are really on your own
Keep.apair of shoes with you in case you have to walk. Definitely a way longer journey than indicated. Multiple spots on the route have almost no current so you have to paddle through them. Two of our group had a lot of fun - not the same experience for the other two
Friendly and courteous staff. We arrived early for our scheduled time, and they got us on our way. Shuttle bus back was quick, didn't have to wait long. Would definitely do this again!
It was a great experience with the Tube Shack! People working there are very welcoming and explained everything to us perfectly (first time doing this king of activity!)
Easy and fun, we had a blast!
At the end of the journey, the shuttle was there to pick us up and bring us back to the parking lot. The driver even stopped us right in front of our car.
Thanks for the great day 😊
I think this was our 3rd time tubing with The Tube Shack over the last few years. We absolutely love it! It's so convenient and such a great price ($20 per person) to pick up your tube and go! Then, after the float, the tubes are transported back to the shack and you get on a comfy shuttle to be returned to one of three locations! It's amazing! Highly recommend. The $10 drybag purchase option was also greatly appreciated! The check-in staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient! Shout out to staff member, Riley, on July 24, 2022, who was out in a kayak towing some of us tubers closer to our groups when we were struggling with current and a light breeze. Another added benefit to having such a friendly, helpful team member! We'll be back again in a couple of weeks!
