    This place is a fun way to spend a few hours. The tubes have bottoms so your butt stays dry-ish…read more They say not to bring a phone or anything you don't want to get wet, but I was mostly dry except for my feet and the water I splashed in from the paddle. If you wanted to take a phone, don't get a fancy dry bag; use a ziplock bag. This is not white water rafting. The trip took just a little less than 2 hours. The business was affected by the hurricane, so they need your business.

    Me and my absolute boys I met 3 days ago went on this tubing excursion and my life will never be…read morethe same. This bro soak had everything: bros, tubes, beers, water, rocks, thrills (small rapids), and more. On the way there, I suggested we stop for sunscreen. I took a considerable amount of shit for this (looking at you, Lance - thanks for driving though). Lance brought me to a CVS and I got 3 sunscreens: spray, cream, face. I lent the spray to Eddy and never saw it again. The cream was confiscated at the airport for being too large. I still have the face one and wear it everyday to remember my absolute boys whomst I love. Most people besides me got insane sunburn, I remain smug about this to this day. Anyway, the tubing was great. I would consider it a team building activity. On the way to the water, the handle on the cooler I was carrying got detached and the beers/ice went everywhere but nobody made fun of me. This meant a lot to me because most would consider me to be on the sensitive side and I felt like an absolute loser AT FIRST until I realized that my boys accept me no matter what. So we got on the water, tied up, floated, listened to music. It was truly v Zen. We laughed, cried, sang. We were at the mercy of The River; I believe it deemed us worthy. The river/spiritual guides say that the graffiti bridge marks 30-40 minutes left. This is not true. The water basically stopped moving so it was like an hour plus. We all got separated but reunited on shore and got sick tacos from White Duck Taco. Neil and I got like coconut margs and they slapped. One thought I had is that it's kinda weird that they sell dry bags and other tubing related necessities at the finish line and not where you drop off your car. Like we got to the end and I see this shop and I'm like damn I wish we could've purchased this stuff BEFORE my adventure. That's my only gripe. I will take my other friends here and test their resolve. I don't believe they have what it takes, but now I know to let The River be the one to judge

    For twenty five dollars a person you get a tube, a ride in an old van to a drop off location and…read morepicked up and returned to your vehicle when you complete the trek. No time limit (although I assume you need to be back before they close). Such a great deal! Seven of us (three adults, four kids) reserved our spot over the phone. This required a small down payment. We arrived at our scheduled time, filled in a waiver for each person tubing, sized out a life vest for our six year old and then hopped into a van to go to the dropoff point. On the way to our drop-off the van driver instructed us on the river landmarks that would be important for our safe and timely return. She also gave us a humorous "tour" of the "town" we pass thru on the way to the drop-off. She provided us some straps so we could strap two of the younger riders to an adult. We spent about four hours on the water. The river was wide enough and appointments staggered enough that at no point did I feel crowded or rushed. We stopped at one spot to ride the rapids, eat lunch and swim, we stopped at another to jump off a rock wall into the water. Upon arriving at the pickup spot we snapped some photos (great view) and only waited for about ten minutes until the van to take us back arrived. If you love being on the water or spending time in nature, I'd recommend tubing with Loafers Glory.

    This was a great time for me and the family. A first time for a lot of us. The team there was super…read morehelpful. They offered us a bench under their apple tree to have lunch while we waited to ride, especially with the heat. The staff was friendly and lively, really getting us excited for tubing. We went down the river and it took us more than two hours, which was great and there were several large rock formations for the kids to climb on while we sail down the river. A nice way to relax, especially after a long hike.
