Our long ride takes 2 to 2.5 hours. Our short ride takes 1 to 1.5 hours. We are the only tubing company in Helen offering a shorter tubing trip. We have tubes with and without bottoms.
Bring your pooch to the hooch! We are dog-friendly! If your dog needs their own tube, you can rent one for them. If not, they can ride in your lap.
