Come join the excitement on the Salt River. Salt River Tubing is back and has two exciting events in July — Spooktacular Howling Halloween and Mega Hawaiian Hula.
The cost for each of the all-day events is just $21 plus tax per person, which includes tube rental, shuttle bus service, and free parking at Salt River Tubing. And don’t forget, Salt River Tubing is open every day from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with the latest tube rental being 2 p.m. and the last shuttle bus ride at 6:30 p.m.
SPOOKTACULAR HOWLING HALLOWEEN
Join us for our 23rd Annual Spooktacular Howling Halloween, July 16, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. for a ghoulish and spookalicious floating beach blast adventure. Free Halloween leis for all tricksters while supplies last.
“Halloween in July! Experience a bewitching and spine-tingling escapade at our Spooktacular Howling Halloween event. Our ghostly shuttle buses provide a howling great time and Salt River will be rocking with tubers in witch’s hats and Halloween leis,” said Salt River Tubing President and Chief Executive Officer Henri Breault.
Tubers can join Salt River Tubing’s tricksters romping to the Monster Mash line dance and grab photo ops with the Spooktacular fun crew. Costumes are optional for floaters; however, Salt River Tubing will be awarding complimentary tube rental passes for the Best Tuber Spooktacular Howling costumes. Passes are valid on a return visit.
Salt River Tubing’s Spooktacular Monster Halloween event is aligned with the U.S.D.A. Forest Service’s commitment in meeting the challenge of reduced youth involvement in outdoor activities. The Halloween-themed event has been designed to capture the attention of teenage youth and encourage them to enjoy the great outdoors on the Lower Salt River in Tonto National Forest.
MEGA HAWAIIAN HULA
Aloha Arizona fun-seekers, grab your ukulele, coconuts, grass skirt, and set sail at our Mega Hawaiian Hula special event on Saturday, July 30 from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Free Hawaiian leis while supplies last for Aloha tubers.
Our Mega Hawaiian Hula event offers a Polynesian journey in the great outdoors of Tonto National Forest. Skip the trip to Hawaii — you can shake your grass skirt with the Hula Honeys during the hukilau line dance and see how low you can go under the limbo stick! Hawaiian-tiki barges will transport guests to the Lower Salt River for fun in the sun on the rocking river rapids.
“Sail your tube Hawaiian-style and enjoy a refreshing voyage on the mountain-stream waters of the Salt River! The Mega Hawaiian Hula event is the perfect venue to experience a unique, fun-filled adventure on the Salt River,” said Henri. “Wave aloha to thousands of flowered-lei tubers in the mini-Grand Canyon of Tonto National Forest!”
The More Teens in the Woods Hawaiian event offers live entertainment by LIVE 101.5 radio station, limbo, and hula hoop contests, plus loads of photo opportunities in the great outdoors. Salt River Tubing will be awarding free tube rental passes for the Best Hawaiian tuber costumes. The tubing passes are valid on your return visit.
RECREATE RESPONSIBLY WITH SAFE DISTANCING
SRTR encourages floaters to help ensure a responsible safe distancing atmosphere at the terminal building and on its shuttle buses during transport to the Salt River. Shooting the Salt River rapids is great fun, and company officials recommend the following helpful tubing tips to assist tubers in planning their floating beach blasts for the holiday weekend:
- Have a great time during your floating beach blasts, but remember that drugs, alcohol, and the Salt River do not mix. Responsibly appoint a designated driver before your tubing adventure.
- Floating picnic ideas include fresh fruit, burritos, fried chicken, or sandwiches. Pack picnic items in Ziploc bags to keep dry. Please stash and bag all picnic supplies in litter bags while floating.
- Sun block, tennis shoes, and a cap or visor should be worn. A minimum 30 SPF is recommended.
- Ice chest/coolers: Fill with ice, sport drinks, fruit juice, and water. One to two bottles of water per hour while floating is recommended to help prevent dehydration.
