All-inclusive commercial tube, paddle, Coast Guard life jacket, and upriver shuttle van ride.
Nothing beats spending a warm summer day floating through the beautiful Yakima River Canyon. Whether you're looking for a relaxing afternoon, an exciting group outing, or one of Washington's top outdoor activities, Yakima River Tubing has everything you need for an unforgettable experience.
We don't rent cheap pool floaties. Every rental includes our custom heavy-duty commercial vinyl tube with a built-in ergonomic backrest, fabric outer protective cover, handles, and dual cup holders.
"Kids loved the tubes! Real commercial river tubes with backrests and cup holders, not cheap pool floaties. Tied all our tubes together easily. 10/10!"

Every summer, thousands of visitors from the Seattle metropolitan area head east over Snoqualmie Pass to enjoy one of Washington's premier river tubing destinations. The Yakima River Canyon offers calm floating sections, beautiful canyon scenery, abundant wildlife, warm summer sunshine, and a refreshing escape from Western Washington crowds. If you've searched for river tubing near Seattle, Seattle day trips, floating near Seattle, tube rentals in Washington, summer activities near Seattle, or weekend getaways from Seattle, you've found the perfect destination.
Located between Yakima and Ellensburg, our floats typically last 2–4 hours and are ideal for families, friends, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, youth groups, and anyone looking to cool off during Washington's hot summer months.
Whether your group has two people or fifty, we'll help make your float memorable. This section of the river is rated at class one.
Unlike simply renting a tube, we provide everything needed for an enjoyable day on the river.
We focus on making your day simple—from check-in until you step off the river. Contact us now so we can organize your floating quest.
"Drove out from Seattle with six friends – the shuttle system is genius. Park once, float right back to your car. The canyon views are unreal!"
"We had an absolutely amazing time on the river. Family-run business and it shows – the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful the whole day."
"Kids loved the tubes! Real river tubes with backrests and cup holders, not cheap pool floaties. We saw bighorn sheep on the cliffs. 10/10."
"Bachelorette party of 12 – they tied all our tubes together with clips and the cooler tube kept the drinks cold. Best day trip from Seattle, period."
