Details to review before reserving
Bring swimwear, sun protection, and any personal cooler or refreshments you intend to use with the cooler tube—remember the cooler tube holds your cooler but does not provide one.
The float covers 1.6 miles and typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours; all rentals must be off the water by 6pm, and reservations are highly suggested during peak season.
Rates start at $20 per person per tube on Sunday–Friday with higher rates on Saturdays and holidays; cooler tubes require booking at least one tube first and each length/float has different end points so multiple activities may require more than one car.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
