The River Adventures
The river adventures include tubing and kayaking down a scenic 7 mile float of the Elkhorn River that roughly takes 3.5 to 6 hours or more in a tube and 2 to 3 hours in a kayak depending on river conditions and wind speed/direction. On your river float you will experience Omaha like you have never seen before. You will float past huge dirt cliffs along with tall beautiful rock walls, and you most likely will observe some wildlife. The river adventure will give you all the proper equipment and knowledge to safely travel down the river. We have several buses to transport you upstream to the drop-off location and begin your adventure.
The Camping Adventures
Our privately owned 55 acre property offers several different camping amenities, which includes outdoor game area, portable restrooms, heated/enclosed showers, rinse-off showers, basketball court, and a volleyball court. Fishing is available in our pond and along the river.
Safety
Safety is our top priority. We provide the required life jackets for your float, but we also educate all of our guests before we begin the river adventure to help guests understand the possible dangers of floating on the river. Please note that floating on the river can be dangerous. Tubing & Adventures reserves the right to cancel float trips as necessary for the safety of our guests. Our staff will be constantly checking the river levels and will make our best judgement calls with the weather.
