Q&A
A: Yes, there is a minimum age requirement for tubing on the Arkansas River. Kids need to be at least 5 years old to participate. It's also a good idea to check if they have to wear life jackets, especially for younger kids. If you're planning to go with family, just make sure everyone is comfortable in the water!
A: You'll want to wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting wet. Board shorts or a swimsuit are perfect. Also, bring along water shoes since the riverbed can be rocky. Don’t forget sunscreen and maybe a hat if it’s sunny!
A: Parking is pretty accessible near the launch site in Salida, but it can fill up quickly on weekends, especially in summer. If you plan on doing a longer float, shuttling your vehicle is a great option. Dvorak's offers shuttle services which simplifies things. Just make sure to arrive early to grab a good spot!

Planning to gift this tubing experience in Buena Vista!
I’m looking at getting my brother and his friends a 1-day tube rental for the Arkansas River. They love outdoor adventures. What’s the vibe like? Is it suitable for beginners? I just want to make sure they’re gonna have a good time without it being too risky. Any tips would be awesome!
Just did the tubing experience and it was amazing!
I took the 1-day tube rental last weekend with some friends and we had the BEST time! Floating through the Salida play waves was such a rush, and the scenery is stunning. We ended up extending our day by taking the shuttle back for another round. Totally worth it! Would highly recommend this for anyone looking for some summer fun.
