My favourite activity on the Island with kids - My favourite activity on the Island with my young kids on a hot day. Take a paddle from the shop, it will come in handy. Enjoy.

Best Ice Cream - Cowabunga - We love the vegan ice cream option at Cowabunga Cones… having Mireille there to serve us all summer made it even better! Hope she comes back next year!

Would do again! - Great value (tube, paddle and shuttle)! Nice scenery, interesting river - mostly laid back, relaxing parts with only minor obstacles and riffles/baby baby rapids.

Awesome time! - So much fun! The tubes and cooler rentals were perfect. Went on a sunny/cloudy day and it was still so warm. The river is definitely not freezing. It is super deep in some areas and has fun little “rapids” the farther down you get. Our kids (9, 14) had a blast. Long float, around 3-3.5 hours. We packed snacks and a speaker and enjoyed the scenery.

Always a great float - Our annual float down the Cowichan River didn’t disappoint again! Took about 2.5 hrs this year and the river as busy. Hot day out and the staff were amazing as always! Friendly, helpful and just good people. Best to go with a reservation as we do and that way no disappointment when they are full for the day.

So much fun!! - Everything was great! From booking online, submitting the online waiver to getting our wristbands and tubes, it was quick & easy. Pre-booking made everything run smoothly. I really enjoyed the ramp provided that helped this elderly person get on the tube! When the trip was done, getting the tubes loaded and getting on the shuttle was smooth. We will definitely be back!

Slow rider - It's a great service, but unbelievably slow part of the river. People from out of town talk to some locals there's better places to float down , unless your into incredible slow ride
