Tubing means going on a fun outdoor adventure where you float or ride on a river, often on an inflated tube.

When people talk about tubing, they usually mean going on a relaxing trip with friends or family to enjoy the scenery and have some laughs. You might rent tubes and head out onto calm waters, like a lake or slow-moving river, and just hang out together while floating along. Some popular spots for tubing are near big waterfalls, rapids, or through scenic canyons. If you're lucky, you might even get to see some wildlife, like fish swimming beneath the surface or birds flying overhead.
