A few river tubing tips to keep you safe and comfortable in your trip

River tubing is an exciting way to experience various attractions. It provides enough fun and adventure and allows room for teams, kids and even the elderly. The first step in ensuring you enjoy your experience is picking the right river tubing site. Get a site that is licensed and offers a range of water activities including diving and snorkeling. A good site should be accredited and should offer PADI certification to scuba divers. This way you are assured of high level facilities and the availability of professionals should anything happen in the river. Other tips include:

1.       Get the little ones fitted with life-jackets. Given the changes in river current, you want to be prepared should the kids slip off the tubes. Life-jackets also allow your kids to have safety confidence hence enjoy the trip too.

2.       Avoid letting the current push you through narrow passages or under rocks and trees.

3.       Drink lots of water to remain hydrated throughout and you can also take snacks for the trip. 

4.       Avoid negative effects from the sun by applying sufficient sun block. You can also get a hat and a pair of sunglasses.

5.       Remember to get good water shoes for the trip for both comfort and safety. Equally important is an extra pair of changing clothes.

6.       If you are bringing your own tubing gear, get yourself a rechargeable DC air pump to allow you to inflate and deflate the tube as you want.
