Pembina River Tubing, Alberta, Canada
3.5 (22 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Entwistle River Rafting & Tubing • Water Sports • Boat Rentals
Slow lanes,poor access to river but fun
Very long lineups , very slow to get the waiver signed. We brought ou own tube so we sis not have to line up for that. Access to the river is very steep, not so good for young children or older people, could be quite dangerous. Rafting was quite bit of fun and very relaxing, scrapping your back on rocks not so much....thus the waiver ...... rocks should be identified more than they are in the rapids. Very primitive. Bus ride back was fine, a bit sardinish for 6 foot people, short school bus. One really aggravating thing wa after we deflated our four person float and washed it in the river the crew put it on top of the bus. That part was ok, but throwing it into the dirt when we returned was not appreciated one bit and i told that to the driver, she just looked at me. Hopefully no holes int it from hitting the ground from the top of the bus.

Most excellent experience down the river
Lots of fun for minimal cost. For about $30 (depending on which tube you choose), you get the rental of a tube, a life jacket, parking, and a ride back to your car at the end. Had a great time, we were 70, 68 and 62. Even though the river was lower than I would have liked, it took 4-1/2 hrs to mostly float gently down the river. We did spend some time getting around rocks (mostly small), but a higher river will make that much easier. We went way past the day use area, where we were supposed to get off, but luckily a camper spotted us and gave us a ride back to our car. A big sign would have been much better, as there are few options once you get past the campground. We went 3 times in 3 weeks and will be there as much as we can when they reopen next year. We bought paddles after the first trip, much better than the frisbees they provide. Also learned to wear leggings to guard against sunburn and rocks, a good hat that ties on, sunglasses with strap, and a water bottle cause 3-1/2-4-1/2 hrs is a long time to be without water. Had a blast and it was the most fun we’ve had in years The scenery is wonderful, the staff incredibly helpful and friendly, but they should talk slower if it’s your first time, especially when explaining where to exit.
