"My husband and I are local but had never tubed this stretch of the river. It was so nice!! It took about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish. It cost $32 total- we brought our own tubes and cooler and rented a cooler tube. It was relaxing and beautiful. Would highly recommend. Pack snacks and drinks!!!"
– Julia S. · TripAdvisor"Paid $18 for a tune and spent 3 great relaxing hours floating down the river. I would recommend hiring a cooler and and float $15 more, but well worth it. It's like a party atmosphere on the river with people drinking and playing music all the way down, very good fun and friendly. Highly recommended - a great way to escape the heat"
– Claire T. · TripAdvisor"What a great way to disconnect and hang with some friends! Took an earlier trip 11:15 to avoid the mass crowds. It worked- Parking was easy, did not wait on any lines and had plenty of space on the river. $10 for the cooler tube was way worth it."
– Christine L. · TripAdvisor"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. · FacebookOur public tubing trips couldn’t be possible without our sponsors. Check out Real Ale Brewing for some truly great beer, and stop by Chimy’s in San Marcos for some awesome post-river grub and drinks.
