Description
Introducing the absolute best in wild river tubes! This relaxing 2 hour adventure will have you meandering down a stunning 3 km stretch of the river around bends and over gentle rapids, some sections are nice and cruisey and others may get your heart pumping (just a little). Your adventure will begin with a briefing and demonstration followed by a shuttle upstream, leaving you with 1 1/2 hours to enjoy the river at your own pace. If you like a particular rapid you can hop out and walk back upstream along the walking track (it runs parallel to the river) and attempt the rapid again. Our river tubes will easily outlast any of the cheaper river tube options out there. They’re super sturdy, secure, and you won’t get any chafing from rubbing against plastic or rubber. It’s size and dimensions are spot on for an average sized adult and suitable for kids aged 10 and above. They’re easy to manoeuvre with a little active paddling using your hands. The outer cover and bladder are very tough and will hold up in the shallower sections, where many of the cheaper options pop leaving you with a useless deflated devise that’ll end up in landfill. It’s important to note that depending on rain and other factors the river can run differently almost daily. You will encounter rocks, branches and even logs if a tree has fallen and not yet been removed by land management authorities. To dodge river obstacles and navigate the gentle rapids you will need to help yourself along with active paddling, but that’s all part of the fun of getting outdoors and experiencing a natural river environment. Remember to participate in this activity you must be able to swim, be aged 10 and above and have the arm width to control and manoeuvre your river tube effectively. If you are not a confident swimmer or require assistance in a moving water environment we strongly recommend hiring a Personal Flotation Devise (PFD) and/or talking to us about booking a river guide. ***If you cannot swim you cannot participate in this activity*** ***All children must be supervised while using our river tubes*** ***PFDs must be worn by all children and weak swimmers, and are available for hire with this product***Includes
