MEGA HAWAIIAN HULA ON !

MESA, ARIZ (July 17, 2021) --- ARIZONA ALOHA FUN-SEEKERS! Grab your ukulele, coconuts, grass skirt and set sail on Salt River at Salt River Tubing’s Mega Hawaiian Hula event, Saturday – July 31st, 9:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.! FREE Mega Hula Bandanas for Aloha Tubers! The cost of tube rental is $19.00 + tax per person or tube which includes inner tube rental, shuttle bus service and free parking. Salt River Tubing is in northeast Mesa (), just seven minutes from the 202 East loop, Exit 23A, on north Power Road/Bush Highway.

Salt River Tubing’s 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.

Henri Breault, Salt River Tubing’s President/C.E.O., says “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. 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.

The Mega Hawaiian Hula event, co-sponsored by LIVE 101.5 radio station and Salt River Tubing, is aligned with the USDA Forest Service’s “More Kids in the Woods” commitment in meeting the challenge of reduced youth involvement in outdoor activities. The program was expressly designed to encourage efforts to get kids and teens outdoors in their national Forests.
