Kick Back and Relax on the River
Serene tubing on the beautiful Shenandoah
Adults, Families, and Kids love our flat water tubing trips. We provide the tubes and the river shuttles, and if you like you can even rent floating coolers so you can keep snacks and drinks alongside as you float down the river!
New Flat Water Tubing Check-in Location
Our brand new Flat Water Tubing starting point is now open.
Please see the map to Flat Water Tubing check-in
It’s an all day tubing pass!
Trips are about 90 minutes long, depending on river conditions. Want more? Take the trip again! Just ask to be shuttled back to the tubing starting point. For maximum fun, it’s a good idea to arrive early so you can fit in as many trips down the river as you want before we have to close for the day.
