DENHAM SPRINGS – Less than a year after Tiki Tubing shut down, the controversial business is reopening under a new name and new management.Â
Now known as Cajun Tubing & Kayaking, the new owners announced the grand opening of the business for May 5, 2023. The announcement noted it will include staff to “provide safety instructions to ensure that every visitor has a safe and fun time on the river.”
“We are thrilled to take over ownership of Cajun Tubing & Kayaking and to continue
offering our visitors an unforgettable outdoor adventure,” the statement read. “Our
goal is to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the
natural beauty of the Amite River while experiencing the thrill of tubing and kayaking.”
Tiki Tubing closed ahead of last summer after its owners at the time, John and Patricia Fore, were arrested amid an investigation into alleged sex crimes involving the couple.Â
The business was also criticized for a lack of safety measures, with first responders being called out to the river to rescue tubers on multiple occasions.Â
