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.

Last tube leaves the Coyote Den at 4:45PM. 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. This year the water is flowing fast and is high, taking just over 1.5 hour to get to the end. (Further into the summer as the water flow slows it may take up to 3 hours). When the water flow is fast we will not be operating pick-up at the mid point (end point only).

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. If you are one of the last tubes out, don’t stop at the midpoint on the way down, or you will miss the last shuttle.

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 30-35 minutes, with stops at the end point and a return to the start. (with fast water flow we do not pick up at mid point, as the water slows we will open up mid point again)

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+.
