Intex River Run Inflatable Floating Tube Water Raft for Lake River Pool

To start, I loosely (and I admit, irresponsibly) tied down 11 of these tubes already inflated into the bed of my truck for a 5 mile drive to a local shallow river. Not even 2 miles down the road, about half of the inner tubes ended up hanging off ALL sides of the truck. None of the tubes were dragging on the road and I pulled over as soon I could to fix the problem but, in the time they were hanging off of the truck, I know some of the tubes scraped up against trees and bushes and at least one of the tubes smacked a mailbox at about 25 mph. It was a scene. Luckily for me, it was all on back roads and the two vehicles behind me were in my party so there was no one to make a fuss. The tubes all made it to river without a single one popping or tearing which amazed everyone. We got in the river with the tubes (there were ten of us total) and after about 2.5 miles of frequently bumping into rocks and fallen logs and dragging bottom, again to our astonishment, not a single tube casualty. No busted seems, no torn mesh, nothing. They held up surprisingly well and we'll be using them again and again. The tubes of course will be better secured next time and we'll more than likely choose a deeper, steadier river to float down to help ensure the longevity of the tubes, but they are definitely good quality tubes that can withstand some "mistreatment".For the money, compared to other tubes available, you just can't beat it. The head rests are comfortable, the tubes are big and roomy, 2 cup holders(!), strong mesh bottom, rope around the sides and clips to secure to other tubes, etc. This is a great product well worth the money. I now have my own fleet of these bad boys and I can't wait to host another river float.

I have ordered these for many years now. They are much better than the black innertubes they give you at the river float. They last for many years and trips and when they get to the point where they no longer stay inflated I continue to replace them with the same brand. They have cup holders and sturdy handles. A comfortable pillow for your back/neck. I'm tall 5'9" 220 lbs and I am very comfortable in the tub. I have taken people of all sizes and the fit most everyone. I do not use the little ties that come with it they come have come off in the past so i just bring rope and a knife and I tie them using either the handles or the little plastic rings on the side and it holds together well. We always add a full cooler in one as well and it always holds even when the cooler is heavy and full.Definitely recommend.

I absolutely love these! We take these on family vacations to the lake and float away! Very sturdy and holds weight! Blow them up right in my car.

After reading some negative reviews about these rafts, I decided to inflate them immediately upon receiving them. Sure enough, the next morning two had deflated. I contacted the seller regarding the problem and stating that I had ordered for a river regatta less than 2 wks away. They responded immediately requesting that I cut a 1"x1" hole in the vinyl and send them a picture showing the tubes were indeed destroyed and unusable (something I totally understand in this day and age to prove I wasn't trying to scam 2 extra tubes). They shipped the two new tubes overnight upon receiving the images from me. I again immediately inflated the two new tubes and they held air.We took them to the river regatta, with around 25,000 other rafters, attached them together so we wouldn't all get separated, and headed down the river. They withstood 4 hours of adults climbing in and out of them and being crashed into by other rafters. Stayed inflated, no leaks, and no issues with the mesh bottoms. So far, these have been great rafts, especially considering the low cost.I'll update if I experience any problems that wouldn't be considered acceptable under normal use.

I purchased these to go down a pretty wild , rocky river! They all held up great! These tubes were easy to inflate/deflate, comfortable and perfect!

I purchased this 6 pack of rafts/tubes for a family reunion we go to every other year. Each time we all take a canoeing trip down a river.With my 4 kids now, we cannot fit them all in one canoe with us parents. We inflated these with a separate pump from another review that I plugged into my car and each of our "big" kids rode in one of these dragged behind canoes. What a hit! The big kids felt more grown up bc theynhad their own space and we adults didn't have to worry about them squirming in our canoes and tipping us!Each tube comes with 2 drinks holders, a netted bottom, ropes and connectors. These held up super well. We had not only kids (as young as 4) in a tube up to adults with a lap kid. Everyone fit in them great! These tubes went over rocks, sticks, etc without any punctures. We even brought one on another vacation to use in a pool.I would highly recommend these to anyone doing a normal family rafting/tubing trip. We die not take these on any sizable rapids or white water, so I have no recommendation for that. However, for easy rivers, these were great!Highly recommend!

Kept us safe and allowed us to have an amazing family fun day!!

It felt very comfortable with the pillow. I hit some branches and sharp rocks and it help up well.
