Salt River Tubing – Private Shuttle
About this experience
Skip the traffic, parking, and the post-float shuffle — let us do the driving while you enjoy the float! Our private shuttle picks your group up at your hotel, home, or chosen meet-up spot and drops you off right at Salt River Tubing, then meets you at the take-out to bring everyone back.
Choose from 8 vehicle options ranging from a 6-passenger SUV to a full 56-passenger coach, all with professional, licensed drivers. Coolers and drinks are welcome on board, so the good times can start before your toes ever hit the water.
