Smoky Mountain Tubing is a family‑run operation rooted right here in Cherokee, North Carolina, dedicated to sharing the simple joy of good times, warm hospitality, and memorable river adventures with every visitor who comes our way.

​

For over 25 years, Smoky Mountain Tubing has been the top tubing experience in Cherokee and Western North Carolina. With more than 200 tubes ready to go, you can count on a smooth start with no waiting. Our trips are suitable for all ages — with a minimum age of 5 — making it easy for families to enjoy the river together.

A float down the Oconaluftee River is the perfect blend of fun and relaxation: gentle currents, cool mountain water, and the kind of peaceful Smoky Mountain scenery you just can’t get anywhere else. It’s refreshing on hot summer days, calming when you need a break from the crowds, and exciting enough to keep everyone smiling from start to finish.

Come see why Smoky Mountain Tubing has been a beloved Cherokee tradition for decades — a place where families return year after year to float, laugh, and unwind.
