The Tubing Center

Tubing Basics

Reservations required.

Summer-time tube floats! When the James River is running below 5′ we supply you with tubes, a shuttle to the put-in, and the knowledge needed to stay safe and have a blast!! Book online for our Rent-and-Ride service to use our deluxe Rocky Mountain Rafts Tubes!

Check out our Rent-and-Ride service below. If you have your own tubes, you can also get advice on where to float and what the safest routes are based on river conditions by calling us at 804-560-0068.

Cheers!

** Staring on August 11, 2025 our Tubing service will only be offered on Saturdays through the end of the season on August 31st. Thanks!
