The River Experience

The float trips wind through scenic stretches of the Virgin River. The water temperature provides welcome relief during warm summer days.

We had the best time tubing at the river today! My family and I enjoyed absolutely everything! The staff were all professional and thorough, they went over all we needed to know before hand. The water was clean and fresh. My 4 yr old was the youngest in our group of 4. He was safe and happy in his own tube the whole time.

This trip was so fun!! I wish I lived closer so I could get a pass and go any time I want. It was super peaceful and even though it was a hot day, the water was super fresh. The staff was super sweet and helpful! My group and I forgot to bring sunscreen and they gave us some while we were there! Our shuttle driver was Naomi and she was super sweet and friendly, we had a great conversation with her. I would 100% do this again and would recommend it to anyone in the area!

I set up a float for 23 people and it couldn’t have went better. Every email was responded to quickly and efficiently. No wait time when the entire group arrived. The tubes were super comfortable. Everyone had an amazing time. Already everyone is wanting to make it an annual event. Great job Zion Tubing Team!!!

We had the best time! We showed up in just our swimsuits with a pair of water shoes and were able to grab water bottles for cheap. They explained everything and drove us up then picked us up after! They gave us great instructions and we had a wonderful time! The ride itself is so beautiful! I wish we had time to go again! We will be back! Thank you!
