The Tube Shack is the only way to tube the Cowichan River!

For those of you who have your own tube and just need a shuttle back, we offer a shuttle only service to get you back to your car after your float.

Please note: You must check in before tubing to pick up your wristband, which you'll need to show the shuttle driver to get a ride.

Duration

2.5 - 3 hours The last shuttle pickup is at 7pm and the shuttle runs at least every 10 minutes

FAQs

Can we take bags and coolers etc. down the river?

• Yes you can tie things onto your tubes or take a swift tube, which has a bottom to it, to hold anything you bring.

Can we bring our dog?

• Small dogs can sit on your lap and are allowed on the bus. Medium to large sized dog aren’t recommended as they can't sit in a tube with you and it’s a long way to swim for them. They are permitted on the bus though if you do choose to bring them.

Should we wear shoes?

• Not a must but a pair of shoes would make the end of the trip more enjoyable.

How rough is the trip, rapids, etc?

• The first hour of the trip is a laid back journey through the start of the Cowichan River, where you will see some fantastic old bridges, and then the ride picks up a bit for the remainder of the trip as the river narrows. It's nothing crazy at all, this is more of a relaxing float rather than an adrenaline rush. The home page of this website features drone footage of our entire run also.
