This is a summer ritual. When it's 200 degrees outside going tubing all day is a welcomed activity. Go during the week because it's less crowded. More

Pass by the drunk tubers in your kayak! Rent a kayak from one of the local companies like Desertrex.com like we did and experience the river quicker and more efficiently than the tubes. The rapids become fun and exciting instead of just spilling your beer... Plus if you dont have all day - you can do the river in about... More

Rent a tube or two. A bus takes you up the Salt River and drops you off, giving you clear directions where to get out of the river. Float down at your own rate. Stop and rest for a while. Wear sunscreen and a hat. An old town to go on top of the tube will make your float more... More

I came out a lobster by the end! Nothing is more fun that bringing a couple of mini kegs and letting them float along the river with you... lots of foamy beer but a lot easier than bringing a few 12 packs! More

The water rate was really good and the white water rapid were a joy. With a professional photographer taking photes we captured a great time. Always check on water flow rate before booking your trip. More

We actually went on this 3 times! A great place to spend time with your friends! Really cheap cost for a great day in the sun. You pay for a inner tub and then they bus you to the drop off point about four miles up stream. You now get into the tub and float down this river for about... More

Always busy on holiday weekends. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Drinking is always fun, but the sheriff's department is always very visible. More

Very relaxing, water is cold at first but you get use to it. Go during the week if you can to avoid the crowds and loud music played by teenager. wear shoes, and tee shirt or you will get burned and wear lots of sun tan oil More

A total blast! Wear lots of sunscreen, don't tie the tubes together, and if you don't swim have a lifejacket nearby. More
