S & B Tubing

We had to wait in line for around 3+ hours to go tubing because we happened to show up on the busiest day they’d had all summer. We still had so much fun! It was the perfect summer day and it was really relaxing. I felt bad for the people that were forced to rent kayaks because they ran out of tubes.
Tip: there is a general store across the street that sells coolers and ice cream cones for very cheap.

THE PERFECT SUMMER ACTIVITY! Just 40 minutes from Madison.
We went with a large group (~50 people), but it would be fun for a small party as well. Tubes are comfortable and they also sell cooler tubes so you can have your refreshments with you on your trip. Don’t forget to grab string to string your tubes together.
It’s a really pretty, relaxing ride. If you want a more relaxing experience or you’re bringing kids, I’d recommend trying a Sunday or a weekday because there will be a lot of loud partiers on a Saturday.
We saw wild horses!!! Yay!!!
It definitely takes like 4 – 5 hours so be prepared for that.

Excellent for enjoying a lazy day on the river. The staff members are very nice and their tubes are high quality. Reasonable prices as well. We will be back! Have been to other tubing in the area, but these guys are tops!

I live in Albany and am on the sugar river, often. Though, typically with my own kayak.
S&B tubing has been in business for at least 7 years now, and I’ve lived here the whole time and seen them grow. An important note — this review is about the BUSINESS, NOT some of the drunken a-​holes that choose to rent tubes from them…
That said, the folks at S&B take safety very seriously and do work closely with the village and in the community to try and control/​minimize the impact of drunken bad actors and actresses…
The folks that work at S&B have all been very friendly. I have heard complaints but, it’s always been from drunks or people that are mad when they tell people NO GLASS BOTTLES on the river. Really. People, are you serious, bringing glass bottles on a tubing trip, so they can get broken and slice open peoples’ feet?
Anyway, something MOST people do not realize… during the quiet times of the work week, when all the drunk tubers are back home behaving themselves… the staff at S&B float and kayak the river, and pick up all the damn garbage and trash you idiots left behind! I’ve seen them with trains of tubes and kayaks all tied together, loaded with trash! So, YAY for you!
