Fairharbor Tubing

Fairharbor Tubing brings a refreshing water-based thrill to Great South Bay, offering an accessible yet exhilarating way to engage with one of New York's most treasured coastal waterways. Operated by Fire Island Parasail out of Ocean Beach, this experience is designed for groups of up to four on a spacious tube, with the option to book one- or two-hour rides along the calm, shallow waters near shore. Great South Bay itself stretches along the southern coast of Long Island, bordered by Fire Island and Long Island’s mainland.

The bay’s sheltered waters provide ideal conditions for tubing—calm enough for smooth cruising but lively with gentle waves and splash zones that amp up the fun. The landscape includes a mix of sandy barrier islands, salt marshes, and rich estuarine habitats, which host diverse bird species and fish life, making every trip a chance to spot osprey or herons as you glide by. Fire Island Parasail has built its reputation on local expertise and a dedication to safe, enjoyable adventures.

Fairharbor Tubing complements their parasailing and boat tours by offering a family-friendly but adrenaline-charged option that’s perfect for both water sports novices and those looking for a laid-back way to cool off on summer days. What sets this tubing experience apart is the accommodating tube size that fits up to four riders, enabling shared laughter and splash-filled memories. Close-to-shore routes keep you near iconic Fire Island views and allow easy returns, making it a great way to blend thrill with scenic appreciation.

Whether you’re a weekend visitor from nearby New York City or a local looking for a new way to engage with the bay, Fairharbor Tubing stands out as a uniquely dynamic way to experience Great South Bay’s aquatic charm while riding waves, soaking up the sun, and embracing the saltwater breeze.
