Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your Yakima River float.

CASH PAYMENT ONLY DUE AT RIVER. Cell coverage in the canyon gorge is poor, so credit card reader terminals do not work reliably. Please draw cash prior to arriving at Roza Campground.

Most floaters spend 2½ to 3½ - 4 hours on the water depending on flow levels, weather, and gravel bar swim stops. Putting in at Lmuma Creek halves the float duration.

Swimming ability is strongly recommended. Every guest receives a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket (mandatory for children 12 and under).

Reservations are highly recommended to secure your shuttle slot and gear. No payment or credit card is required to reserve online today.

Yes! We provide connector ropes and party tether clips with all rentals so your group can float together as an island.

Yes, we are 100% dog-friendly! You can rent a $15 heavy-duty cargo tube so your dog gets their own floating spot.

"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."
