Channel
Tubing or Rafting
is a popular leisurely
activity enjoyed in the Okanagan Valley every year. The art of tubing
or rafting is more of a relaxing water tour that takes little effort.
Channel Tubing is a couch potatoe's dream come true drifting down
on water with little or no effort involved minus the remote control.
The channel of
water that connects Skaha Lake
and the Okanagan Lake together
has become a sighseeing passageway that accommodates, entertains
and guides all shapes and sizes of tubes and floatation devices
down the channel, casually drifting during the spring and summer
months.
There are rental
companies mainly in Penticton that rent out Tubes
and put you through a tough tubing boot camp offering instructions
on how to float if you have never floated before (just joking).
It is so easy and only a few bucks to rent a tube and your in the
water. No boot camp. There is even a bus shuttle service that brings
you back if you want to do it again.
