Tubing down the mighty Miramichi River is a fantastic way to spend the hottest days of this summer.
There are many ways to peruse the offerings of the Miramichi River – it’s a popular spot for fishing, too – so if you’re a casual canoe or kayak-based fisherman, then the Miramichi River is a great spot to fish.
But this isn’t about fishing, it’s about enjoying a lazy glide down the Miramichi River and Gallan’s Tubing will help you get started.
Gallan’s Tubing in Miramichi offers tourists and locals alike the opportunity to experience the Miramichi River in all of its glory.
There are two options for tubing with Gallan’s Tubing:
The Tidal Run: This meander will take you down the Miramichi River at a slightly faster pace – this run lasts between 1 and 2 hours and the last launch of the day is at 5 p.m. The tidal run relies on the tides for distance and speed, and takes a gentler approach to floating the Miramichi River. This is intended for younger adults and children.
The Rapids Run: This is the most popular of tubing runs of the Miramichi River and lasts between 3 and 4 hours, with the final launch taking place at 1 p.m., to allow for Gallan’s to cease launching at 5 p.m. The Rapids Run features a series of rapids interspersed throughout the route, which can be a fun challenge for you to remain in your tube! Though not particularly difficult, they can be avoided if you’re not comfortable, just simply paddle away with your arms to avoid getting caught up.
Once you reach the end of your trip, you can get back to the place you started your trip as Gallan’s provides complimentary shuttle service between the endpoint of your tubing adventure and the parking lot where you began. There are also on-site bathrooms and free on-site parking. You also don’t need to make a reservation, as they operate on a first-come-first-serve basis.
While Gallan’s Tubing does not provide life jackets, they do highly recommend that you wear one while in the tube and that you bring sunblock. Your safety and the safety of others on the river are your responsibility.
Gallan’s Tubing is now open and runs throughout the entire summer season (weather dependent), till September 5th and begins launching at 10 a.m. local time and the final launch of the day is at 5 p.m. – for “Rapids Run” customers, the last launch is at 1 p.m.
