Our 11th Annual AMAZING River Tubing BYOB Float Trip w/ All You Can Eat Taco Bar

Details

Grab your floaties and coolers and JOIN US on our 11th annual float trip! Hang out with 2 busloads (110 people!) of fun-loving and friendly Meetup folks for THE BEST day trip EVERRRRR!

This trip is an amazing way to get out of the city and onto tubes floating down a river with a drink in hand under the warm summer sun. You just can't beat it :) And these trips sell out REALLY early, so save your spots here right away!

THE TRIP ​INCLUDES OUR DELICIOUS ALL YOU CAN EAT TACO BAR LUNCH! After a float and some drinks, there's nothing better than chowing down on an all you can eat taco bar lunch! This includes hard and soft shells, ground beef, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, rice, and chips & salsa!! Yummmmmmm.

We go on this trip 2 different dates. One on Saturday, July 20th and another on Saturday, August 17th. Sign up for the one that works best for you! They're both a blast.

It's only $85 to attend! Well actually $88.58 because we have to pay a $3.58 processing fee per ticket. We have a lot of costs to cover which is why the event costs this much, and the cost of our buses went up this year. But trust me, it's worth it for how much fun you'll have this day! It really will be THE BEST day of your summer!

THE TRIP INCLUDES:

  • Round trip coach bus transportation. We ride in super nice buses, aka way more expensive, but worth it! They've got bathrooms and TVs (to watch movies there/back!) for a higher level of comfort.
  • Your personal float tube. Tubes that hold your cooler can be shared and purchased for $10 cash upon arrival. Each cooler tube can hold 2 large standard sized coolers so you can share with others.
  • Lunch. ALL YOU CAN EAT taco bar when we get out of the river after floating.

The event in a nutshell:

  • Show up to the bus with your own BYOB cooler and snacks.
  • We drive ~2 hours into Indiana watching movies, then arrive at the river and float with Riverside Rentals.
  • Grab our tubes and float/drink/chat/relax for ~3 hours.
  • Get out of the river and chow down on all you can eat tacos.
  • Board the bus and head back to sweet home Chicago!

A COUPLE FINAL THINGS:

  • You can leave anything you'd like on the bus while we're floating. They'll be locked and waiting for us right when we get out.
  • No hard liquor allowed. No exceptions. No glass containers.
  • Drinking alcohol isn't allowed on the bus rides.
  • DO NOT sign up for this trip if you plan to get drunk. We will all get a nice buzz going on the trip but don't need anyone being irresponsible.

I look forward to enjoying the day with everyone! Please send me a message if you have any questions at all.

Cheers,
Ben
