Here are our 5 Reasons to Enjoy the thrill of Delaware River Tubing

1. Time with Family and Friends

Finding an outing that a whole group will enjoy can sometimes be a challenge. Delaware River tubing is an ideal outing because there is no skill level required. Kids as small as 4 years old can tube down the river. While you float, you are creating lasting memories that you will want to recreate year after year.

2. Great Scenery

Part of tubing is taking in all the scenic views. Along the way during your tubing adventure, you’ll see cliffs, ravines, wildflowers, and lush trees. Be sure to bring your camera in a waterproof container so you can snap some pictures of what you see!

3. Lunch and a Swim in the River

The cool, clear water of the Delaware River is perfect for swimming. Find a spot to break along the way and enjoy a picnic lunch and a refreshing swim. And don’t forget to pack water for everyone. When temperatures get hot, you’ll want everyone to stay hydrated.

4. Class I Rapids

One of the great things about tubing is that the water does all the work for you. The Delaware River Class I rapids mean that you will have a consistent current pulling your tube along. No need to put any effort in on this trip. Just lay back and float.

5. Great River Tubing Companies

We have several excellent river tubing companies nearby for your convenience. Each place offers not only the equipment needed for tubing but also transportation to and from your beginning and ending location. Kittatinny Tubing is a great company offering everything you’ll need for a great afternoon. Their tubing rates start at just $27.00 for the day with advance reservations.
