What to Expect

Enjoy a wonderful afternoon effortlessly gliding down the river on an inflatable tube. Your tube will be hooked up to the other people in your group so you don’t need to worry about drifting apart! On this trip you’ll have the chance to see the impressive Smith Falls waterfall, Nebraska’s highest waterfall. Take this opportunity to enjoy the amazing scenery surrounding Nebraska’s scenic Niobrara River.

Nature & Wildlife

Relax as the spring-fed, slow moving river gently carries you past the pine covered hills, steep cliff banks and waterfalls. The Niobrara River and its surroundings are home to a range of wildlife, including turkey, deer, rocky mountain elk, mink, otters and whole host of birds. Keep your eyes out for herons, bald eagles and other species along your trip!

Convenient Shuttle Options

Most of our customers use our shuttle service as it is both convenient and reasonable. We have two main shuttle options for our tubing trips:

Staying close to the Niobrara? We can meet you at the Little Outlaw Office and instruct you to Brewer Bridge. There, you will leave your car and we will shuttle you up to Berry Bridge, your launch point.

Visiting Valentine? For groups of 8+ we can shuttle you from your hotel/motel in Valentine and drop you to Berry Bridge where you’ll begin your trip. Once you’ve finished tubing, we will meet you and take you back to your accommodation. Please call to book our hotel shuttle service!

    Little Outlaw Outfitters were superb' everything we needed for our float they handled. We used the shuttle service and the gentleman that was driving was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the river. We will use little Outlaw again.

    They provide great service and are very easy to work with. Extremely friendly staff. Definitely a highlight of my vacation.

    We've been going through these guys every summer for the past seven years for tubes, and their service is fantastic.

    Little Outlaw was so accommodating for our last minute plans and made everything fun and easy! Would definitely recommend it!
  • Mike B Sep 2020
    We visited in the off season but they made it very easy. They shuttle you upstream and pick the gear when done. Easy way to see the river.
