Self-Guided River Tubing Adventure on the Yarra River

Float down the Upper Yarra River on your own sturdy, comfortable river tube in this nature-based adventure! This 2-hour journey covers 3 km of scenic river, mixing relaxing floats with fun rapids and obstacles that require paddling, agility, and swimming skills. Your adventure starts at the Warburton oval with a briefing and demo, followed by a shuttle upstream. From there, you’ll have up to 1.5 hours to explore the river at your own pace. Our durable tubes are designed for adults and kids 10+, easy to manoeuvre, and built to withstand rocks, branches, and shallow sections. This is a truly Australian adventure not to be missed, but remember—the Yarra is a real river, not a theme park. Conditions vary daily, and natural obstacles like rocks, branches, and logs may require paddling or standing to navigate. If you’re not a confident swimmer, consider hiring a river guide. All participants must be able to swim. Children must be accompanied by a paying adult or river guide. Wear closed-toe shoes or water booties, and PFDs are mandatory for weak swimmers and recommended for children.
