My insider tips

Go with Cool River Tubing, grab a push stick, and do NOT take your keys on the river!

📍 Where to go

Cool River Tubing: 1-hour and 2-hour floats, both right through the heart of downtown Helen

We LOVE tubing with Cool River Tubing! They’re the only tubing company that offers both a 1-hour and a 2-hour float, and both floats take you right through the heart of downtown Helen! 🛟

Don’t forget your push stick! It helps you navigate the river tremendously.

Cool River provides your tube, life jackets, tethers, and the bus ride, and they HOLD YOUR KEYS FOR FREE with a picture ID! 🔑 Let them hold your keys if you don’t have a secure place to put them. Do NOT take your keys on the river!

Now let’s recap… 📝
