Salt River Tubing In Arizona Is Officially Open And Here’s What You Need To Know

There’s only one way to enjoy the longest float trip in Arizona this summer, and that’s by renting a tube from Salt River Tubing. You can leisurely meander on the water for up to four hours, perhaps even catching a glimpse of the iconic Salt River horses along the way. Here’s everything you need to know:

It isn't summer in Arizona until you've floated down the Salt River at least once, and the season is in full swing at Salt River Tubing in Mesa.

Float trips range in length from 1.5 to 4 hours, so you can hop in for a quick adventure or spend the entire day cooling off from the brutal desert heat.
Floating the entire stretch of the river takes about four hours from start to finish.

Should you choose to end your trip early, there are two exit points along the way, the distance to each one being 1.5 and 2.5 hours, respectfully.
If you're lucky, you just might catch a glimpse of the iconic Salt River horses galloping through the water.
