There isn’t a better way to spend quality time with family or friends, away from technology, keeping cool on a hot day and having loads of fun. Groups rates at The Tube Shack make this experience even more affordable. Take advantage of our group discounts on river tube rentals with the Tube Shack. We offer specialty pricing for groups of 10 – 19. Our friendly staff is here to get your group set up with your tube rentals, sending you off to have the perfect day of floating on the Cowichan River, and then picking everyone up at the end of the ride and shuttling everyone back to the parking lot. Get your group together and reserve your tubes now!
Yes, you can tie things onto your tubes or take a swift tube which has a bottom to it, to hold anything you bring.
Small dogs can sit on your lap and are allowed on the bus. Medium to large sized dogs 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.
Not a must but a pair of shoes would make the end of the trip more enjoyable.
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. Its 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.
