Once the water gets low enough, you can tube down the Kern River! 3-Hour Tube Rental includes a premium-grade tube, a life jacket, a single shuttle, and an optional helmet.
We’ll take you upriver about 3.5 miles, drop you off, and you ride the river back down to our store. The trip usually takes about 2-2.5 hours depending on water levels and how many waves you find in which to play. There are two departure times available to pre-book, 9 AM and 1 PM. Walk-ins will be first come, first serve and shuttles will leave every half hour from 9 AM to 2 PM. Have your own tube? We do offer a shuttle only service. The last shuttle leaves 4 P.M.
