Can’t wait to do it again! - Had the best day floating with girl friends for a birthday celebration! What a perfect way to meander down the beautiful scenery and feel like you are on a vacation away from it all! Great tubes that have paddles to help steer through the water and the shuttle back to where we started was awesome! Thx Tube Shack for a wonderful day!

Fun in the sun tubbing - It was a blast, first time and we are already booking to go again! Every part of it was fun and at the end having a ride back was great.

So worth it - Online booking is really simple, and on-site service is really organized and helpful. Shuttle service at the end was prompt. Kiwi style ice cream afterwards is next level.

Great experience! - Absolutely lovely tubing experience. Nothing like rolling ;leisurely down the river, and Tube Shack took good care of us. Only wish we had gone a little earlier in the summer when the water might have been moving a little more swiftly. Don't miss this Vancouver Island experience!

Tubing the Cowichan River - We did the river tubing twice in July with our grandchildren and we all had a blast. The kids loved the mini rapids and the slow meandering float down the river. The staff at the Tube Shack was very helpful and thoughtful. Our special needs daughter dropped her water bottle into the lake while trying to get into her tube and the thoughtful young men on the jetty got it back for her and returned it when we got back from our trip down the river. The driver of the shuttle bus was very friendly and polite. Overall an exceptional experience. We also went tot he local ice cream shop the Tube Shack recommended and they had great ice cream and lovely staff who were very friendly, helpful and patient with kids placing their orders. Two wonderful days of loads of fun!

Relaxing tubing - Relaxing, but first half of river is very slow unless you want to paddle. There is a home who sells snacks halfway through who takes credit cards.

Would love to see this become wheelchair accessible - Everything was great except that it isn’t wheelchair accessible at all. It is such a shame because tubing is a great activity for many people, including those with limited mobility. I find it disgraceful that the lifts on their shuttle busses don’t work, and don’t seem to have any plans to make them work. The tubes were great, and it was very easy to book and use the tube shack’s system.

Cowichan river tubing - The tube shack experience was perfect for us. We brought our own tubes and used the shuttle service with the discounted ice cream at cowabunga’s. Used the online registration for both and both vendors provided their services seamlessly. Got wristbands at tube shack, lazily floated down the river with the whole family. Boarded the shuttle with ease and arrived at our destination, (riverside inn) had our delicious ice cream at cowabunga’s. The blueberry flavour is sooo good. Enjoyed it all but did get sunburnt! Remember to load on the sunscreen!

Bad service great float. - We arrived and the girl in the shack told us to grab any float on the side of the building. We did we grabbed 7 of 7 tubes we were ready to go. The girl came over just as we were going to the dock and told us that we needed to pay an additional $10 each for the tubes we had chosen it was confusing. Because we were ready to go we paid. The staff needs to be more clear on difference of tubes. The float was amazing the service was not.
