Tubing the River

What to Know

The Easiest Way to Enjoy the Buffalo

Our Dillard's Ferry Tube Float runs 1.5 miles to Buffalo Point, about 2-3 hours on the water. It's a relaxed float for families and first-timers, and one of the easiest ways to experience the Buffalo National River. It departs daily at 12:30 when water levels allow. We shuttle you to the put-in and pick you up at Buffalo Point, so all you have to do is enjoy the ride.

Tubes are $10.00 each, or $8.00 each for groups of 10 or more. Bringing drinks and snacks? Add a cooler tube for $12.00. A $9.00 shuttle fee per person applies to all day trips.

Tube reservations must be made over the telephone. Call 877.350.6592 to book a tube trip.
