Awesome day trip! We did the 4 hour float via river tube and it was only $25. Free parking, they drop you off and pick you up, cooler tubes for $5, life vests on request, dressing rooms & bathrooms on site. Very friendly, well-run company. I've never floated the Bogue Chitto but I did a river float in Hot Springs, Arkansas a few years back and this was way more relaxing and organized. Easy float that would be kid friendly (would probably do the two hour one though) since there's not too many obstacles/rapids and lots of beaches to stop at. Took me less than a 1.5 hours to get here from NOLA and took my friends about 1.5 to get here from BR.10/10 recommend this and I will definitely be back! read more

Beautiful and clean river tubing. The owners are very cool, always friendly, they check in on us as we are floating a few times and we always have the best time with them. I would recommend Louisiana River Adventures over any other tubing in the area. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

Not a fan. To my knowledge, there are two different companies that do tubing trips, and my friends and I traditionally go with the other one. (Of course, I can't remember their name). My big complaint about these dudes is they've got some old man patrolling the river in a motorboat, evidently looking for people who have gotten cold and decided to ride in the cooler tubes, which are more like inflatable rafts than actual tubes, because you can get inside them and not have to touch the water anymore. That is, until you get caught. Then you'll get yelled at and will have boat guy checking in on you for the remainder of your trip. Tubing is awesome. Wayne's World, not so much. Go with the other company. It's essentially the same thing. read more

This is my favorite place in LA. Beautiful stretch. Be nice to people, pick up your trash, smile.

This place has everything you need for a fun day on the water. Tubing or kayaking - choose your adventure. Friendly staff make the experience even better. It's worth the drive to get to Louisiana River Adventures. read more

I went here with 3 kids and had a pretty rough time. They told us not to bring rope but then did not provide anything to tie my kids together. Thankfully we found some other folks with twine who helped us out but not until after I lost my 9 year old in the river which was terrifying. I am 5'3" and could not touch the bottom in most of the river. The current was very strong in some places and all three of my kids including the teenagers were scared and anxious most of the trip. Definitely not the laid back float I had been expecting. We did have a nice time swimming at one of the sand bars but I recommend that you really go to this place prepared and don't count on them to give you what you need or tell you when the river conditions are going to make for a bit of a difficult time. Not for the faint of heart but probably more fun when the river is lower. read more

Great place to float or kayak, I have done both here. The people are really friendly and very organized. Don't forget the cooler tube to tie to your tube or boat. It's a great way to keep all your things dry and together, I don't go without one. I went here about 4 times last summer and can't wait to go back again. read more

I've been river tubing a number of times and this was the best place by far. We drove from New Orleans and it was well worth the drive. They are the nicest people and had everything you need to tube. Make sure you bring a cooler and stock it full of ice cold drinks. They have tubes for the cooler, if you can remember to pack a 6 ft piece of rope to tie the cooler tube to you. They provided string but from a pro tuber, I recommend bringing your own rope. Super nice people, they had hotdogs waiting for us when we got out. Best day ever! read more

Do you love nature but are also extremely lazy? Like drinking beer from a can and liquor from a squirt bottle? Most importantly, can you swim? Then you have what it takes to go tubing! As a Texan, I love tubing. While this doesn't compare to the Guadalupe or Comal in the Texas Hill Country, the Bogue Chitto is still a lot of fun. For the un-initiated here is what you do: -Load up a cooler and gather some friends. Make sure you have water and not just booze. Throw in a gallon ziplock to put anything you need to keep dry. -When you park, go ahead and leave your clothes and towels in the car. You won't need them til your done. You can check your keys with them. -Make sure to get a tube for your cooler, it's worth the couple dollars. If you wear flip flops you can toss them in here while you float. -Once you're paid up you'll jump on a junky old school bus and drive up river. They'll drop you off to float back. The bus drive is by far my least favorite part. For some reason toolbags feel really empowered to let their inner obnoxious racist loose on these buses. Try not to let it ruin your time. Take comfort in the fact that you are you and they are morons. The trip is a few hours, depending on how many times you stop along the way. There are some rocky beaches that are fun to hang out at. It is nice to take a break from the old ball and chain that is your tube. Maybe snack on some Cool Ranch Doritos? You did bring Cool Ranch Doritos, didn't you? More than anything just sit back, relax and have a good time. Keep an eye on your friends and stay in control yourself. Nothing can kill a party quicker than a good old fashioned drowning. I'm not sure exactly why you're safe from alligators, but apparently you are. Our crazy barely in control bus driver said so. I've never seen a gator or a snake. Side note: Bogue Chitto Canoeing and Tubing in Bogalusa is a little less wild. For some reason they aren't on Yelp and their website is a little hard to find. I think this makes it quieter and less crowded. If you are not interested in meeting people or you have a more low key group, it might be a better option. read more

We got there and everything was fine. We were enjoying ourselves on a sunny day. All the the sudden a big dark cloud comes out of no where. We are stuck in the middle of a thunder/ lightening storm. We stop at one of the beaches and once it lightens up a bit I pull out my phone to call for help because at this point we are all freezing cold. They tell me there is no way for anyone to come out and get us and proceeds to hang up on me. Keep in mind we still had 2 more hours till we got back. Once we finally get back there are boats pulling people in. I go up to the people who were brought in and ask how they were able to get a boat to come out and help and they said they called and were able to get someone to come out because of the terrible rain storm. Moral of the story..go on a sunny day or expect to be stranded in a thunder storm! read more

This place is FREAKIN' AWESOME! For a lazy river, booze cruise to beat the southern summer heat, Wayne's World is the place to go. Just over an hour's drive from New Orleans and the trip is well worth it. While I must say that I prefer the free river floats in my old home of Montana, the convenience of not having to drive a car to the put in/take out or strap tubes to the roof of your car is worth the $15. For an additional $5, you can rent a cooler raft. Yes, you read correct, an actual inflatable boat, not an inner tube you have to search for to fit your cooler just perfectly. How cool is that?! There are no exciting rapids, but lots of sandy beach stops with trash cans, peaceful sounds of nature, friendly people and refreshing good times for people of all ages. read more

This weekend was the first time I ever went tubing and as someone from the north, it was a "cultural" experience. Basically, tubing is like a floating picnic with a lot of beer. You buy a raft for yourself and one for your cooler, you take a yellow school bus to the drop off point, and you float down river. You meet some interesting people going down stream. Some were nice country folk who like to talk and listen to CCR and there were annoying, belligerent young adults. Overall, it was nice, relaxing, and a great way to hang out with friends and drink. read more

During the brutal South Louisiana summer there are few things better than taking a dip in water to cool off. Even better is doing this while drifting down a river in a tub with an ice chest and a handful of your best friends. Tubing is cheap, relaxed, and best of all fun. Wayne's World has probably the best path down the river in the area. So here's how it works: you show up and pay a rental fee for a tube, including one for your ice chest. You did bring an ice chest full of refreshing drinks (but no glass), right? You get on a buss that takes you up the river to a launch point where you pick out your tube and then get in the water. You drift down the river for a couple of hours, relaxing and having fun. Maybe you stop at one of several sandbars to have lunch or take a break from the river. Eventually you drift back past Wayne's World where they help you out of the river and collect the tube. I look forward every year to summer when I can round up my friends and spend an afternoon on a river. read more

These guys are awesome. If you are just sitting around sweating all day why not get in a tube and sit around floating down a river drinking beers with friends, it's a heck of an upgrade to any hot day. read more

The experience here was a little different than I was expecting. I went with my partner, whose family lives in the area. He wasn't too thrilled about going (I found out later) but had a good time once we were there; if he had told me what he thought the trip was going to be like, I probably wouldn't have wanted to go. I thought a bunch of hippie nature lovers would be tubing around us. What I didn't know (and my partner did) was that 1. it's mostly young college kids from New Orleans who go out on the river and 2. the locals are a bunch of rednecks who aren't big fans of the college kids. So, for a lot of the trip, we were in close proximity to drunk early-twenty-something in inner tubes, and we saw more than one Confederate Flag being waved from the riverbank from off-road vehicles and in the back of private homes. However, the trip alternated between peaceful and amusing--amusing because we had to dodge fallen debris or find ways to extricate ourselves from it when we weren't successful. The big mark against the establishment is that the little food cart was closed but said it was open, so there was some confusion in regards to that from plenty of people. They have plenty of waterproof boxes and even water shoes that people can buy, and at regular intervals along the river are small beaches where tubers can drink and eat the stuff they bring in their coolers. The other noticeable mark against them is that the tubers didn't even know whether they'd gotten on the two-hour or four-hour bus until well into the trip down to the river. By the end, our four-hour float seemed to have gone on a little long for our taste, but I'm not sure we would have felt like we'd gotten our money's worth with the two hour float. My partner enjoyed himself, so all was good. read more

Great service! The staff is wonderful- the river is beautiful! Very clean, and has beaches to stop at for a break!

We arrived before 2pm and was inly permitted to go on the 2 hour float. If you make the rules at least follow them. The whole reason we came was to go on the long float. Very disappointed. read more

Awesome amd probably the best tubing around. I live in the area and have tried them all. For me this is the most authentic when going tubing in the country hood. read more

Wayne's World is very organized and their staff are friendly and helpful. Their prices are almost double the price on Bogue Chitto in Mississippi, but it's still a super cheap outing. I also find the river to be cleaner with nicer stopping points than the normal trip in the McComb/Tylertown area. This year we went to Miss., but we plan to go back to Wayne's World next year. I only wish there were affordable camping or cabins nearby to make a weekend of it. read more

Great day on the river! After our bus was in an accident on the way home, Barb offered to set up another bus for us to get home and then drove us herself to meet the new bus. 10/10 customer service....I will be definitely be on another float trip soon! read more

I have celebrated my birthday for the last 3 years at Louisiana River Adventures and it has always been a blast! It is a great way to get together a big group of people to do something fun and adventurous. Always worth the trip! I love floating down the river with the cooler and taking in all of the surrounding beautiful nature. They have a four hour tubing trip and a two hour tubing trip, the last four hour trip leaves around 1:30-2. There is a bus that shuttles you to the top of the river. On our last four hour trip, my friend's float got a hole in it early on but eventually a couple of employees soon came down the river in a boat and switched out her deflated tube for a new one. Top notch service and all of the employees are incredibly friendly. Don't do too much swimming because there are some big rocks hidden under the water but there are nice beaches all along the route to pull over and hang out on. Some parts of the float are very relaxing but you must pay attention and paddle to avoid obstacles every once in awhile. Will always come back again and again! read more

Always a great time at Wayne's World! Great event for a group of friends, get to flow down the river and stop at the beaches for snacks and drinks. They are cash only so remember to bring cash when going there! Not a bad idea to bring rope or things to tie you and your friends in a big group. We all huddled around each other this past weekend and it was a blast! read more

This is the best of ALL the tubing companies in the area. I love tubing with Wayne's World! The staff is friendly and helpful. It is always a pleasurable trip! Just went the first time of the year on Saturday and plan to be back many times! I also recommend renting a cabin down the road at Berry Creek cabins. A perfect combination for a weekend trip! read more

Finally made it back to Wayne's World over labor day weekend to find it was under new management. Fine with me because the new staff/owners were great. I (very stupidly) locked my keys in my car after i got changed but the staff figured out how to open my car with a slim jim and saved me from a loooong and expensive wait for a tow/professional. For some reason it was very quiet over the holiday weekend (LSU football game?) so we got a ride to the drop off in a pick up that was occupied by an adorable puppy - always a plus. The river was great and a good time was had by all. read more

Great staff! Great stretch of river! They had a free hot dog hot and ready when we climbed out of the river. See y'all soon!

Absolutely best place to go tiki tubing the owner is amazing you almost feel like you are family when you are there everyone is extremely nice!! This is our second time to return to LRA!! read more

Had a great experience tubing on the Bogue Chitto river with Louisiana River Adventures (formerly known as Wayne's World). They drove us to the starting point to get our tubes and drop us in the water (they also offer cooler tubes for your beer/water) and we ended back where we had parked our cars. At the parking site they have various things that you may need while tubing available for purchase. I think they also have food, but I didn't get any. Portable restrooms and small changing cabins are also located on site, as well as a place to shower off after spending the day in the river. The river ranges in depth from 1 to 15 feet. There are small beaches with garbage pails along the way, but be forewarned- the bugs are nasty once you leave the water! read more

These folks were great to deal with, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience when a group of 10 of us went kayaking/canoeing with these guys late summer last year. The only downside is some of the customers. One mouthy 20-something threw a half empty can of beer towards his friend, sailing it right over his head. Neither bothered to go retrieve their trash, a member of our party ended up snagging it up as we passed them a minute or two later. Just one instance of a lack of consideration. But really, I can't hold that against LRA, that's just how some people are. Aside from some of the other folks, the float was a lot of fun. Particularly with kayaks, it'll go quickly if you don't stop and enjoy some time on sandbars and have a relaxing lunch and such. Personally, I enjoy having adult beverages along the way, but check yourself and your group. Don't get so drunk that you give this activity an even worse reputation, or end up hung up and drown. Our trip last year was fun. This year, we have a different plan for a group of 14 Scouts and adults to canoe/kayak all the way down from Bogue Chitto Waterpark in Tylertown, stopping at cabins and camping along the way. We're looking forward to making the final leg from Bogue Chitto State Park to get off the water at Louisiana River Adventures. We're happy to pay a fee to safely get the boys off the river and load our trailer, and they were happy to work with us even though we weren't renting tubes. read more

I gave it a 3 star because their is no private showers, you have a long trip home and you cannot shower although they do have an outside shower you feel rushed to get under for a quick rinse, which is better than nothing. Another reason is... they have a website but don't tell ya when their closed so we wasted a days work preparing , planning and going, guess what their closed on Wednesdays ! Great !!! however the river is cleaner than most so that is a big plus but you are watched like hawks, lol read more

This place is awesome! I can't compare it to any other tubing establishment on the Bogue Chitto since this is the only one I've been to, but I have always had a great time! After you park your car and buy your tickets, they drive you up the river where you get your tubes and begin your adventure (which ends conveniently where you parked). The only complaint I would have is that the waterproof camera we bought at Wayne's World had some sort of defect which caused the film to not go through properly. Of course, we weren't aware of this problem until we attempted to get the film developed. I would suggest buying a camera, ice, and anything else you may need before hand. As long as you come prepared, you can grab a tube and enjoy the scenery and the ride! read more

Terrible Experience... A group of friends and I went to Wayne's World last weekend, July 14-2013. We paid for our tubes and my husband went to the restroom (terrible stinky port a potties) and lost one of our tickets. Two minutes later the owner would not replace our ticket even though everyone at the ticket stands obviously remembered us from two minutes ago... She explained that they would lose money if t hey did that... I thought this was really unfair.. and then she actually offered me some camouflage coozies instead of giving us another ticket... Unbelievable... The crowd was heavily tattood very young college looking crowd... Young couple looked like they were having sex in the middle of the river.... can you say, "Never Again?' read more

Wayne's World is nice. However, I definitely prefer the other tubing center right down the road....Bogue Chitto Tubing Center. The river is much prettier, and the employees are extremely helpful. Tubing is great way to spend your day! read more

These people are great! Very nice, very professional, very generous. Shout outs to Savannah, Victoria and Mama B!
