Adventure Description

There's no better way of spending a summer's day than laying back on an inner tube, letting the river carry you along. We're visiting the Grand River, just outside of Brantford and floating a beautiful 5km stretch down to Brant Park Conservation Area. No experience required - just kick back and the river does the work for you.

Once we arrive at Brant Park we'll have a group picnic together so bring some lunch and games to while away the afternoon.

What's included

  • Entry to Brant Park
  • Tube and PFD hire
  • A shuttle to the start point 5km up the river
  • Supervision from a professional guide
