Gallan's Miramichi River Tubing

Fun activity to do in the Miramichi, especially on a hot summer day. We did the short run, which took just shy of 2 hours.

When you arrive, there are bathrooms and change rooms. There is also a key-drop to leave your car keys so you don’t risk losing them in the river. After buying your ticket, a bus brings you to the start area. It’s about a 10 minute bus ride.

From the start zone, you pick your tube (take note - some have cup holders built in, but not all). They provide straps to tie several peoples tubes together, which is great. Highly recommend getting a cooler tube if you have anything you want to bring on the river with you.

There were some rocky sections where you have to walk a bit if the water is low. Make sure you were sturdy shoes (ideally water shoes).

Really nice place, choice of short and long run is nice but due to low rainfall, times are longer than usual and it makes the ling ride just a bit too long to be really enjoyable (a little over 6 hours in our case with bo stops). If you want to go, make sure you take current rainfalls into consideration for the time it will take you. The waiting part on the flip side, was really great. We paid fast, waited only a little for the buses and then we where set! Great experience all around.

We just went out there today.

Enjoyed the trip very much. It was deep and very hot out. I usually go to Stewards just down the way, but they have way to many rocks which can hurt you.

I will be going there from now on instead of stewards.

The only reason I’m giving a 4 instead of a 5, is because once in the river, it may be difficult to find the way back. But maybe some signs would help that.

I will be back next summer. May just bring some friends.

Nice family time spending. Although wouldn't go there the second time. Don't go there when it's 25 or above, might get burned , especially on long ride. Overall, nothing fancy. You get to the point, bus then takes you up the river, you pick the tube and just ride down.
