About This Adventure

Experience the thrill of river tubing with our daily runs at 1 pm, offering a unique blend of relaxation and adventure. Enjoy flexible float times, ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 hours, as you paddle or drift along the river. Don’t miss the chance to unwind at Norki’s Snack Shack before your adventure!

River Tubing Times: We offer a 1pm run everyday. Capacity 80 to 120 tubes. When our regular 1 pm run is fully booked, we open the 4 pm or 10 am option.

Step 1 Arrival: Please arrive 30 minutes before briefing on weekdays and 1 hour before briefing on weekends. You will need time to register and get prepared; If you show up late you may delay the briefing and everyone’s start time. You may forfeit your deposit if you don’t arrive early enough to get registered. Make more time if you want food from Norki’s Snack Shack. They are open everyday except Mondays.

Step 2 Waiver: Get your waivers inside the Tasting House. Every tuber requires a signed waiver completed. A parent or gaurdian must complete waivers for tubers under 18.

Step 3 Register & Payment: Payment for the remainder of your fees and additional items can be cash, credit or debit.

Step 4 Start with Briefing: Make sure the whole group is at the briefing just outside our Tasting House at Norki’s Snack Shack. We will show you how to use the equipment and give you safety instructions for any event.

Step 5 Shuttle: Just before you start your tubing run, your driver will bring your vehicle to the bottom of your tubing run and we will shuttle the drivers back to the top of the run. Make sure you book this $7 shuttle for every driver in your group. The group can relax at the top of the tubing run while we shuttle all the drivers back up to the top of the river. Full Group Shuttle is available but your group will be shuttled after the drivers. Book this $7 shuttle for each person.

Step 6 Tube Time: While you wait for your driver to return feel free to launch your tubes and relax. Don’t start without them! lol

Duration: (1 ½ – 3 1/2 hour float time) There are 2 factors. The river’s flow is dependent on the season and recent rainfall to decide how fast it will move you. You decide on how much paddling you want to do. You can relax and let the water take you slowly or paddle at any rate you wish. On the same day we had a group take 1 1/2 hours and another group take 3 1/2 hours.

Last Step Check In: Return to the Tasting House with your tubes and equipment to check in with us when your entire group has returned. Report any missing or damaged equipment. If you have interesting pictures or feedback you can enter to win a prize. Cheers,
