Yarra Valley Self Guided River Tubing Adventure - 2 Hours

Highlights

  • Self guided river tubing experience

  • Complimentary shuttle upstream to start

  • Scenic three kilometre journey

  • Wind through bends and navigate rapids

  • Float down the Upper Yarra River

  • Purpose-built tube for a smooth float

Head to the Upper Yarra Valley for a two-hour self-guided river tubing adventure. You'll meet approximately 75 minutes from Melbourne in Warburton for a safety briefing and demonstration before hopping on board a shuttle bus for a short ride upstream. Begin your Yarra River float with your very own high-quality inflatable river tube. Purpose-built to handle the shallower waters, your tube prevents popping and deflating for a comfortable journey downstream. Under the sun, enjoy paddling, manoeuvring and gliding down gentle rapids and winding bends.

Along the ever-changing three-kilometre stretch of river lined by native bush, encounter natural obstacles like rocks, branches or logs. The time span of your tubing experience can vary depending on water levels and your paddling speed. Participants must be able to swim confidently as you’ll use your strength, agility and swimming skills to venture down the river. Jump in for a relaxing yet exciting tube float, surrounded by natural scenery.
