FAQ

CHILDREN UNDER 4 can only go in our QUAD ISLANDS. You must provide a life jacket for children under 4 as our lifejackets are for 4+. Life jackets are recommended for all children ages 8 years and younger, as well as for all weak, inexperienced, or non-swimmers. All non-swimmers and anyone who is afraid of the channel should NOT go tubing. You must exit the channel yourself, by following safety signage to move to the right after the 3rd bridge. There are NO LIFEGUARDS, enter and exit the channel at your own risk. The stairs at the end point exit are VERY slippery.

Last tube leaves the Coyote Den at 4:45PM for exit at mid point. If you would like to float the entire way to end you must be in the water by 4PM. Last shuttle pick up varies based on water flow speed but usually 6:30pm (please ask before getting in the water).

You’ll start at 215 Riverside Drive, Penticton. Once you arrive, come on up to ticketing (north building) to purchase your tube/bus ticket. Then head over to the Coyote Den (south building) to sign our waiver and pick up your tube. You can choose between single and double tubes or 4, 8, or 12-person party islands. We sell 5L & 20L Dry bags as well as waterproof iPhone bags for your valuables.

Times vary depending on channel water flow. As of August 2022 it is taking almost 3 hours to the end point. Mid point is 1 hour. If you would like to float all the way to end you must be in the water by 4pm.

You’re about to enter the water so all items SHOULD BE STORED IN A DRY BAG. We sell 5L & 20L Dry bags as well as waterproof iPhone bags for your valuables.

NO. Tubers tying themselves into a big flotilla can be very dangerous around our bridges. Accidents on the channel from tying tubes together has resulted in near-drowning and deaths.

Last pick up varies but usually 6:30PM.

Yes we can if you have a pre-purchased wristband/ticket from our starting point at 215 Riverside Drive or from our tent at END POINT. Our staff at END can only accept card payment (no cash). Our bus drivers cannot accept payment.

It runs constantly from 11:00AM onwards. Turn around time for the shuttle is around 15-20 minutes, with stops at the end point and a return to the start.

YES! Skip the line and book online. When you book online you can head straight to the tube shack. If you’d prefer to do same day, then reservations are not needed for singles or doubles. If you are renting 4, 8 or 12-person party islands (these are our quads that can be safely linked together to create an 8 or 12 person island) you will need to book in advance through our online booking software.

CHILDREN under 4 can only go in our QUAD islands with their own, fitted life jacket. We provide lifejackets at no charge for 4+ to anyone renting our tubes.
