Overview
We are the only company to offer river tubing in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Lake District National Park. This is a unique way to explore hidden sections of the local river and it's a big favorite with our families and groups looking for an activity they can't find anywhere else.
Floating quietly along sections of slow-moving river between river banks draped with greenery you have a rare opportunity to see some of Cumbria's wonderful, shy wildlife. And then on open stretches of water, we play games and have fun safely in the water, everyone wrapped up in our 4-5 mm thick wetsuits and buoyancy aids.

What to expect
Guided by our expert instructors, you'll journey along Keswick's local river sitting inside our specially designed inflatable activity tubes.
Steering your tube using a paddle, you'll discover hidden stretches of Keswick's local river, and if you're lucky you'll spot kingfishers and even otters. Drifting quietly along undisturbed stretches you'll look for pike, perch, and brown trout and see how the river channel has changed over time, shaping the landscape.
Between exciting sections of fast water where you'll master steering your tube, developing your paddling technique and we'll stop for fun games that will test your skills!
This activity is ideal for families looking to discover something new together.
