For safety, a Havoc Livery Helmet Rental is a smart addition to protect your noggin from unexpected bumps and rocks.

Extra Comfort

Depending on the weather, a Wetsuit Rental might be a wise choice to keep you warm and comfortable in the chilly creek waters. And don’t forget about your footwear; water shoes will provide the grip and protection you need to navigate rocky riverbeds safely. Consider renting from the Water Shoe Rental collection for reliable choices.

Broadening Your Adventure with SUPs and Kayaks

Not every day is perfect for tubing; sometimes, you might crave a bit more. Luckily, Boulder’s waterways offer much more than just tubing. Enhance your day with a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or kayak rental. Paddling is a unique way to appreciate Boulder’s natural beauty.

• Check Water Levels: Conditions can vary day by day, so always check local weather and water reports for optimal tubing conditions.
