 Whitewater Tubing on the Potomac River
Tubing On Your Own
One of our most popular adventures, Tubing on Your Own gives you the freedom to go wherever your tube takes you. The Tubing on Your Own package includes a tube, life jacket, free shuttle transportation, and parking.
The Whitewater trip passes by the historic town of Harper's Ferry, West Virginia where Marland, Virginia, and West Virginia come together, and has class I-III whitewater excitement on the Potomac River. The trip lasts about 1 to 3.5 hours (average of 2). All self-guided whitewater tubers should be at least 12 years old and 5 feet tall. We reserve the right to change the minimum age due to water conditions.
Full Day Tubing Trip
/ Combination trip
If your looking for a full day tubing adventure, try our flat-water / whitewater combination trip. Arrive at 10:30 for check-in and "Do the Doah" on our 11:30 flatwater trip. Stop at our shop for lunch (available summer weekends or bring your own), and take off to "Tube the Mac" on our 2:30 Potomac River Whitewater tubing trip for just $10 more.
Minimum age and maximum weights apply.
Recommendations
All tubers should be in reasonably good health and physically active. Those exceeding their ideal weight range by more than 35 lbs. may find this trip unsuitable. Be aware that this trip is "on your own" and there are no staff members present while on the river. Some cell phone coverage is available, and guests should bring cell phones with them on the trip as they may provide a means of communications in an emergency. We have waterproof containers for sale at check-in. Not all service providers offer coverage in Harpers Ferry.

A Must Read for all your Tubing Questions
Your help is needed. Please carpool as much as possible. We have very limited parking, especially on weekends. Besides, it's good for the environment.
Alcohol is not permitted on the river or in C&O Canal National Park. The inappropriate actions of a few have caused the Park Service to strictly enforce this policy. People under the influence of alcohol may also be detained by park rangers. We will not transport people appearing to be under the influence or people carrying alcohol into the park.
We allow one cooler per ten people on whitewater. We reserve the right to limit this further because of water levels or any other factors we see necessary.
Alcohol is NOT permitted on river trips.
