If you’re after a splash of excitement during your trip to Andalusia, the tubing adventure in Cabopino promises a lively 30-minute burst of high-speed water fun. From bouncing over waves to zooming past scenic coastline, this activity offers a mix of thrill and relaxation that’s tough to beat. While it’s no obstacle course—meaning safety measures are in place—it’s a good idea to be comfortable with water activities and know that no previous experience is necessary.
What makes this experience stand out is its variety of inflatable rides, the professional supervision ensuring safety, and the stunning views of the Costa del Sol’s coastline. It’s a great choice for groups looking to add some adrenaline to their day, whether you’re a family, a bunch of friends, or solo travelers craving a quick adrenaline fix. However, keep in mind that the activity is limited to 30 minutes, so if you’re looking for a longer water adventure, you might want to combine it with other activities nearby.
Three things we really like: the multiple inflatable options for customization, the scenic backdrop of Cabopino’s coast, and the straightforward safety approach that keeps the fun worry-free. A small potential drawback? The activity is only 30 minutes long – but for most, that’s enough to get their fill of high-speed fun without feeling rushed.
This experience suits anyone looking for a quick, energetic splash of sea-based thrill that’s easy to join, safe, and memorable. Perfect for families with older children, groups of friends, or anyone wanting a fast-paced break from sightseeing.

What to Expect at Cabopino’s Tubing Ride

When you arrive at the Heavenboat office inside Cabopino Marina, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff ready to gear you up for some water fun. The meeting point is easy to find, right near the main entrance of the marina, with ample parking nearby. You’ll be provided with a life jacket and a safety briefing—an essential step that reassures even the most hesitant first-timers.
Once suited up, you’ll gather around your chosen inflatable. The six different options cater to different thrill levels and group dynamics. For those who appreciate classic fun, the donut-shaped inflatables are a popular choice, offering a familiar, fast-paced ride. For something more amusing or adventurous, there are wild shapes like the flying sofa or the triple rider, which add extra laughs and excitement.
Your professional skipper, well-versed in managing high-speed water rides, will then tow the inflatable behind a boat. From the moment you’re pulled onto the water, expect to be bouncing, zooming, and bouncing again as sharp turns and waves keep the ride lively. Reviewers describe the experience as “fun, fast, and adrenaline-filled,” with one noting how the boat driver “really knows how to get the inflatable bouncing and skimming the waves.”
The thrill is balanced with scenic coastal views, making it a visual treat as well as an adrenaline fix. As you zip across the sparkling waters, you’ll see the rugged beauty of Cabopino’s coastline, with the marina’s yachts and natural scenery providing a picturesque setting.

Safety Considerations and Practicalities

Safety is a big focus here. Each participant is provided a life jacket, and the safety briefing covers what to do if you fall off or feel uncomfortable. The small group size—limited to 6 people—means you’ll receive attention and supervision from the staff, including the experienced skipper.

In terms of practical tips, bringing a towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes is advisable, as you’ll likely get wet. Food and drinks aren’t included, but the marina area offers plenty of options nearby.
Comparing Value and Price
While the activity lasts just 30 minutes, the experience offers a lot of bang for your buck. The cost includes all safety gear, supervision, and the boat ride itself, which is typically a highlight.
