CHILDREN UNDER 4 can only go in our QUAD ISLANDS. Life jackets are recommended for all children ages 8 years and younger and required for any children under 4, 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.

If you would like to float on our tubes, please arrive by 3:45pm as you must be in the water by 4:00pm. All floaters on their own tubes looking to buy a bus ticket must be in the water by 3:00pm. The last shuttle pick-up varies based on water flow speed but is 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. 2025 is taking 2 hours to the end point. Plan to be in the water starting your float by 4:00pm. And before 3:00pm if you're on your own tubes and want to catch the bus back to the start point.

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.

Due to faster-moving water in the channel this season, we no longer offer pickups at the mid-point. We do still pickup at the endpoint If you have a pre-purchased wristband or ticket from our starting point at 215 Riverside Drive or from our tent at the END POINT. Please note that staff at the END POINT can only accept card payments (no cash), and our bus drivers cannot accept any form of payment.

It runs constantly from 12pm onwards. Turn around time for the shuttle is around 15 minutes, with stops at the end point and a return to the start.

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 and must wear a life jacket. We provide life jackets at no charge for all our rentals.

When we experience wind, everyone must get out at the MID-POINT. Unfortunately, strong winds make it impossible for our tubes to complete the entire float. This can happen at any time so please be prepared to be taken out at the mid-point.
