Self-Guided River Tubing Adventure

Enjoy floating down the Upper Yarra River on your own river tube in this outdoor, nature-based adventure. This two-hour experience follows a scenic 3 kilometre stretch of river, winding through gentle bends and small rapids. Expect a mix of relaxing floats and more active sections that require paddling, manoeuvring, and problem-solving. It's fun, refreshing, and lightly physical, requiring basic strength, agility, and confident swimming skills.

Your adventure starts and finishes at the Warburton Football Oval. After a safety briefing and demonstration, they'll shuttle you upstream, giving you 1.5 to 2 hours to travel back at your own pace. The team will meet you at the end of your experience, back where you started, to collect your tube and any hire equipment (i.e. tube, wetsuits).

River conditions vary daily depending on rainfall, and our team will brief you on what to expect before you set off. We use commercial-grade river tubes that are durable, comfortable, and built for shallow river systems. They're easy to manoeuvre with hand paddling and suitable for adults and children aged 10+. One tube, one person.

Confident swimming is essential. PFD hire and guided options are available and recommended for less experienced participants.
