A swift tube is basically an inflatable kayak that comes with a paddle that clips to the side of it when you don’t need it. It’s perfect for speeding up your trip and maneuvering through the small rapids. It’s also great for a parent + child to share as it has a bottom and lots of space to carry anything you may want to take down the river.. This is the only way to travel the river in our opinion. Luxury, comfort, and freedom all combined into one option.
We cannot guarantee swift tubes after 11am as it depends on when they arrive down at Little Beach. In the case we don’t have one for you, we will refund the difference and supply you with a regular tube.
Swift Tubes

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.

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.

No. We have some pretty big robust tubes.

Swift tubes are a good option for an adult and small child together. We recommend adults and older kids book their own tubes and use a tube strap to float together. Just ask us for one at the counter.
