Do I need to be able to swim?

You should be comfortable in water, and you wear a buoyancy aid. Sessions are run in suitable, controlled conditions.

Yes. A guide or boat driver controls the pace and route, you wear a buoyancy aid, and it is matched to the group.

Do I need experience?

None whatsoever. That is rather the point. You just sit in the tube and enjoy the ride.

Swimwear and something you do not mind getting soaked. A wetsuit helps in cooler water and is often provided.

What age can you do it?

Gentler river tubing suits families, while faster towed tubing has minimum ages. Check the specific session.

Tubing en North Coast

Tubing is the gloriously simple business of sitting in a big inflatable ring and letting the water do the rest. On a river you bob and spin down the current through gentle rapids, and behind a boat you get towed across the water at a pace that turns every wake into a launch ramp. Either way, the job description is hold on and laugh.

It needs no skill and no experience, which is exactly why it is such a reliable crowd-pleaser for groups, families and parties. A guide or boat driver keeps it safe and sets the pace, from gentle to teeth-rattling.

The operators on adventuro run tubing sessions with the tubes and buoyancy aids provided. Expect to get wet, get dizzy, and immediately want another go.
