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.

Pricing Questions?

Yes! Our flat rate of $30 Adult and $15 Child includes your tube, life jacket, paddle, and upriver shuttle van ride regardless of which route option you choose.
Groups of 10+ receive a FREE cooler tube rental ($15 value) and dedicated mid-week departure options (Tuesday through Thursday). Contact us for custom group rates for 20+ floaters.
Personal pool floats often pop on river rocks. We strongly recommend renting our heavy-duty commercial commercial-grade tubes with fabric sleeves for a puncture-free, comfortable float!
Online booking requires zero credit card deposit! All payments are collected in CASH upon arrival at Roza Campground because canyon cell coverage is too weak for card reader terminals.
Yes! Children under 12 float for just $15.00, which includes their commercial tube, youth PFD life jacket, and upriver shuttle seat.
Safety is our top priority. If high winds or heavy rain force a river closure, we notify guests in advance and allow zero-fee rescheduling to any future date.

"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."
