The first 500 Super Heroes will receive a free Super Hero bandana, and the event will feature 101.5 radio station live onsite.
Salt River Tubing’s zany and fun-filled cast of Super Hero characters will put the boom into a super unique adventure on the Salt River. Costumes are optional for floaters. However, Salt River Tubing will award complimentary tube rental passes for the best Super Hero tuber costumes. Passes are valid on return visit to Salt River Tubing. Photo opportunities will be plentiful as you glimpse Spiderman, Superman, Batman and other Super Heroes.
“Transform into your favorite Super Hero and splash down on the Salt River,” said Salt River Tubing President and Chief Executive Officer Henri Breault. “Let us put the bam in your summertime adventure while you chill and thrill on the Salt River rapids in Tonto National Forest.”
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service’s national program More Kids/Teens in the Woods was designed expressly to encourage efforts to get kids and teens outdoors and exploring ways to connect youth and nature.
Salt River Tubing’s Super Heroes Splash Down event is aligned with the USDA Forest Service’s commitment in meeting the challenge of reduced youth involvement in outdoor activities. The Super Heroes-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.
Daily operating hours at Salt River Tubing are 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The cost of tube rental is $17 plus tax and fees per person or tube, which includes inner tube rental, shuttle bus service and free parking at Salt River Tubing.

Tubing Tips
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:
- A valid driver’s license is required for a tube rental deposit per five tubes rented.
- Children must be at least 8 years or older and 4 feet tall for tubing and shuttle bus service.
- Life vests are strongly recommended for children, non-swimmers and inexperienced swimmers.
- Glass containers by law are not allowed in the Salt River Recreational Area. Ice chests will be inspected for glass containers before boarding shuttle buses. Please use plastic bottles or aluminum can containers.
- 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.
- Ice chest/coolers: Fill with ice, sport drinks, fruit juice and water. One to two bottles of water per hour while floating are recommended to help prevent dehydration.
Salt River Tubing is located in Northeast Mesa, just minutes from Highway 202 East and Power Road (North) Exit 23A, in beautiful Tonto National Forest.
