If you're the kind of person who seems to fill every day off and every vacation day with errands, meetups and things to do then you might not actually get a chance to relax on your day off! This summer, you have to put this secret lazy river float on your bucket list. Kicking back and floating along a cool, picturesque river basically forces relaxation on you. With nothing to do but enjoy the scenery, the sun and the company of your friends, you'll find yourself totally relaxed and refreshed. Whether you have some extra vacation time this summer or you're between semesters, everyone deserves to treat themselves to this incredible tubing trip. At Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, there's a gorgeous lazy river with clean, clear waters that's perfect for floating. The Tube Shack will do all the work for you. You can rent a tube from them and they'll pick you up at the end of the river in their shuttle. You won't have to do any of the planning or logistics because they'll take care of it for you so you can focus on chilling.

That's plenty of time to soak in the sun and relax. The beach is clearly marked so it's easy to see where you get out of the river to catch your shuttle back.

It's just a 1hr 30min trip from Victoria. The tubes start from $20 to rent and include a free shuttle back to the start. They also have beer holders, what could be better than that. . . . . . #GScanada #travel #traveler #traveling #gltlove #cowichan #lesbiantravel #gaytravel #beautifulbritishcolombia #Hellobc #victoriabc #saturnaisland #canada #britishcolombia #cowichanriver #discovervictoriabc #explorecanada #explorevictoria #cowichanvalley #discovervancouver #britishcolombia #vanlife #hikinglife #tubing A post shared by Kate the Wanderer (@globesurfing) on Jul 30, 2018 at 9:02am PDT View this post on Instagram Totally tubular.
