Amazing time!! So I totally didn’t know what to expect because I read conflicting people’s experiences.

-You park your car. Apparently you have to pay cc for parking, scan a QR code to pay. I didn’t do that…. Whoops -Check in at your tent, ( there’s 2 different companies operating at the same location) -you get your wrist band and hand your car key to them, it goes into a box with the # that matches your wristband. You Hop on the bus and they take you to the start of the float -your booked tubes and included paddles are waiting for you where you get off the bus they take the L and XL tube to the water for you. If you’re a single/double, they hand you your tube and you walk it a short way to the water. -ppl are there to help you onto your tube -you float all the way back to where your car is ( approx 1.5-2 hours depending how fast you go, if you actually paddle, if it’s windy) -ppl are there to help you out of the tube, they take your tube for you, you walk up the hill and hand your paddles to the tent where you checked in. Get your car keys back and Voila! Float tour complete!

The tubing experience was fantastic, got hung up on a couple Little Rocks, easy to manoeuvre around. We were 6 singles floaters and one large tube. You can attach your tubes to eachother if you want.

When I first heard “float”, I thought like a lazy river, tube around your waist …. No! You can sit inside the Large and XL and you won’t even get wet because the bottom is sealed. You can wear your shoes and street clothes if you want (today for example was a cooler/gloomy day, not everyone was in bathing suits) if you are going inside these L and XL tubes. You can also Bring towels, snacks and waters/drinks in a bag and keep them with you in the big tubes.

That’s the one you want if you’re taking littles with you or doing a family tour. It’s perfect! Or you plunk your but in the singles/doubles where your legs dangle over and relax yourself all the way down the river ( this is the one where you will get wet!)

The scenery was gorgeous! This is a fantastic run float tour! Now we know what’s what and what to expect, Cant wait to go...

I had an unfortunate experience at the pinawa float this past weekend on Saturday. My friend and I had went to enjoy a nice Saturday when I unfortunately stepped on some sort of nail, my toe was bleeding out the entire time but that of course is not their fault, things happen. What happened at the end absolutely disgusts me. My friend told me not to get my cut wet as it was a huge gash and it could get infected. When we were exiting the river, only she got out to get us to the rocks but she was struggling a lot so I got out and we lost our footing and ended up in the deep end by the rope. We were both really struggling and we both ended up going under the water and couldn’t get our tube to move due to the current. I luckily was able to grab onto the rope so we didn’t go past the bridge. But the part that absolutely boiled my blood is that ALL 3 employees on the rock just stared at us while we struggled and I had even asked them over 4 times to help us because we were losing our breath and one of them just mumbled something and continued talking to eachother. Now correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the employees on the rocks supposed to help people get there floats into the shore!! I’m absolutely disgusted with their concern for two girls begging for help and doing absolutely NOTHING!! And to make matters worse all of the employees saw my bleeding foot and my friend had to run and go get toilet paper to stop the bleeding and we drove to the hospital. Is there not a first aid kit to help people. They need to be talked to or just completely removed from sitting on that rock because the work ethic is at an absolute zero. Will never be coming back which is unfortunate because I do enjoy coming. Shame on your workers

EDIT!! My bad apparently you need to rent the tubes through the company in order to save you if you almost drown. Where are the morals and values to help whether or not you’re on your own. Why do I need to ask for a bandaid when clearly all of your employees seen my bleeding out foot and not even offer. end of the story, you and your employees don’t care unless you’re...
