The 2024 Goombay White Water Tubing in Harpers Ferry
hosted by Goombay Adventurers & DMVSocial
Join us for a fun filled day of tubing down the Potomac River and enjoy a delicious lunch after a long day under the sun! Your trip will involve paddling in and around obstacles, through shallow areas, flat water and white water rapids. Rocks create white water, therefore you should expect to maneuver around rocks during your trip. This is the perfect Social Distance activity!
Thursday, July 4th| 9am - 4pm
Cost: $67 per person
(includes single tube, life vest, unlimited tubing & private picnic area to relax and cookout after tubing-food is not included)

TIPS
- Bring water in a metal or plastic water bottle that you can tie or connect to the tube loop (NO GLASS ON THE RIVER)
- If you bring your phone, make sure you have a protective waterproof cover that attaches to your body
- If you're going to tie into other tubes, bring our own rope and a pocket knife
- Wear sturdy water shoes or sneakers. You may have to get off the tube to get over the rocks
- If you wear glasses, make sure you secure them with a good glasses strap
- If you bring a speaker, make sure it's waterproof and can tie into your tube.
