Rave Reviews

“One of the best floating experiences I’ve ever had while down south visiting friends; they take care of their customers, it’s affordable and I feel good sending friends of mine their way.”

– Matt S., Facebook

“This company was absolutely the best. I booked our reservation for the wrong date & received a phone call 2 months before the trip to Austin saying our driver was outside. They rebooked our 12 woman bachelorette party for free! Danny, our driver, was super helpful. Filled us in on all of the tips and tricks, took some pictures before for us, and helped us load into the water. If you’re going to book a trip down the river, use this company! Thanks for a great experience, Texas state tubes!”

“The folks at Texas State Tubes were friendly, parking was easy, we didn’t have to wait in line and the prices seemed fair. We’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Did this for a bachelorette party and it was amazing. Got picked up from Austin and bussed to the river and brought back home. The package came with coolers and cooler floats + tubes for all”

-Samantha H., Yelp

“Came for a girls/birthday weekend and Texas state tubes was recommended to us. It was perfect, they make it really easy to park and float and get back to your car. I look forward to coming back soon!”

– Alyssa V., Facebook

“I went tubing with 11 of my friends for my Bachelorette party this Memorial weekend and our experience was AMAZING! Our guide was Danny and he was super friendly and helpful. From loading our tubes with coolers, giving us helpful hints, and just being an overall awesome guide-we would highly recommend him to anyone considering using this company! He arrived early to pick 10 of us up in Austin then drove us to the site, while giving us a local’s perspective on things we saw along the way.
The river was crowded (as it should be it was over 100 degrees and a holiday weekend) but it was still very enjoyable! There were a couple rough parts but that was because the water was lower than normal but it made it exciting and kept us entertained.

I would highly recommend Texas State Tubes for anyone who is seeking some relaxation outside of the city! It was an A+ experience!”

Welcome to Texas State Tubes!

We’re high-service, low-cost tubing provider on the San Marcos River! Our headquarters is located right off the San Marcos River – just east of San Marcos & only 35 minutes south of Austin.

If you have a large group looking to float, TST is the closest thing you can get to “tubing in Austin” as we’re the closest river to Austin that allows recreational tubing. We also provide transportation from Austin with our Tubing Tours.

To walk up and tube, we have 3 parking lots for super duper convenience – check it. You can park at the beginning of the float, or park at the floating exit. We’ll shuttle you back to your starting point either way! Park, Float, Ride….. or Park, Ride, Float….. it’s up to you. The most important thing to remember is to have a BLAST!

There are some river rules…. No glass, no styrofoam, no beer bongs, and no boom boxes audible beyond 50 ft.
