Full Day River Tubing in Harpers Ferry

Your Shenandoah and Potomac River tubing trips were Voted two of the top 10 tubing rivers in America in USA Today's Top 10 Poll and the closest to Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.  You can only tube on 2 of the top 10 rivers in one day only an hour away in Harpers Ferry, WV.

If you're looking for a full day tubing adventure, try our whitewater/flat water combination trip in our classic standard tube. Have a family with young kids or want a completely relaxing day? Go flat water all day!

You'll start the day off by "Tubing on the Mac." Come back and enjoy a picnic lunch that you have prepared for yourself or stop by The Front Porch Cafe for some good food conveniently located at the establishment. Then take off to "Do the Doah" on our afternoon flat water tubing trip.

What is the difference between the types of tube available?

River Riders only offer the best quality vinyl (PVC) tubes designed for river use.  We have several different models to suit guests' needs.


The Standard Tube  is made out of a heavy gauge vinyl fabric specifically made for river use. It is a heavier fabric than a vinyl "swimming pool" tube and therefore stands up to more use. It is more comfortable and durable than a basic black rubber tube and has handles.

The Deluxe vinyl tube is also made out of a heavy gauge vinyl fabric specifically made for river use.  It is more comfortable and durable than the basic tube. It too has handles but also a seat bottom, cup holder, and back rest. The Deluxe tube is $5 more to rent than the standard vinyl tube.

The Tube Tracker is made out of a heavy gauge vinyl fabric specifically made for river use. It is more comfortable than the standard tube and comes with a light duty paddle. It too has handles but also a seat bottom, cup holder, and back rest. The Tube Tracker is $5 more to rent than the deluxe vinyl tube.


Don't forget to add-on your floating cooler (a tube that holds everything in the center of the tube) or your cooler tube (you bring your cooler that you sit on top of the tube) onto your reservation!
