Russian River Bus
Tubing

TRIP DATES

Every Saturday (restarts in June/July 2023)

Trip Overview


All 2022 Russian River buses are CANCELLED due to health concerns related to COVID-19. The Russian River bus will return in 2023.

 

Take a break from the city and ride in style to the gorgeous Russian River. Spend a day tubing down the river. Let us take care of everything and you just enjoy the ride.  With two SF Bay Area pick up locations (Bryant and Presidio), we make it as easy as possible to get away from the fog and the city grind and escape to wine and river country. Nothing beats a relaxing day on the Russian River, where the sun is always shining.

 

 
               

 

Note on alcohol consumption: 

We are familiar with the new regulations on alcohol and bus access at Steelhead and Sunset Beaches and our operations are in accordance with this new regulation. Proper commercial bus permits have been acquired and activities, including canned beer on the river ONLY, have been approved by park rangers. While we will provide beverages on the bus, they will be in closed storage containers that are not to be opened until well away from both Steelhead and Sunset beaches. For any other questions please reach out to our event coordinators at sboutdoors@sportsbasement.com.
