This is A‘Murica… and in A‘Murica we tube our butts down a river!

Arrive at the Rosslyn Metro Station with your favorite adult elixir for the day as your rugged chariot (AKA school bus) whisks you away toHarpers Ferry Adventure Center for an all-day-summer-play-day in the sun!

After your hour-long journey to Harpers Ferry, you’ll be given your West Virginia certified river tube, a quick safety briefing, and sent on your way for a 4-hour (give or take 45 minutes depending on water levels), relaxing tubing trip down the peaceful Potomac River. Bring rope if you would like to link your tubes up with friends and create hilarious memories as you cruise and booze your way down the river.

Oh yeah… coolers are pretty important too. We’ll have cooler tubes available to rent for $5 on site. Don’t forget the ice!

Once you’ve peeled yourself out of the river, you’ll be greeted with the gorgeous sites, colors, smells and sounds of a beautiful private mountain top overlooking Harpers Ferry. Enjoy one plate of a complimentary BBQ consisting of 1 hamburger or 2 hot dogs with 2 sides. We highly recommend bringing your own snacks and water for extra sustenance. All-day sun exposure can do a number on your body’s resources! This is a long day and you’ll be hungry.
