Anyone float the river lately? I'm planning on making a trip sometime this week, and wondering if anyone had some suggestions on where. I know the Guadalupe and Comal are supposed to be pretty low right now.
I work for Gruene River Company in New Braunfels. We take up the Guadalupe river and also let you float down depending the amount of time you wanna spend on the river. Your better off going up river, while it is slow, the city ordinances do not apply, therefore larger coolers and jello shots are ok! Any questions just let me know!
looking for around a 3-4 hour float
Ya we do that. When are you lookin to come. We are open all week from 8am and we stop putting ppl in around 3-4 in the afternoon. http://www.toobing.com/ for more info.
Probably tuesday, what pricing are we looking at to rent tubes and a cooler?
I think its around 17 bucks a toob which includes parking and the shuttle service. Pretty low for the area actually.
I've been twice in the past month and I think I see the Greune River Company tubes floating with us. I usually rent from Rockin' R (not that Gruene River company isn't bad in anyway) because you get out right where your car is and don't have to wait. Tubes with a bottom are the same $17. I just went yesterday. We walked like once or twice in our little area. Not too bad considering it's so low. If you google them you'll find a coupon for 20% off on weekdays too.
Cool, maybe we'll head out. I've also been suggested the San Marcos river, anyone been?
San Marcos River sucks. Do the Comal or the Guadalupe in New Braunfels. You will have a way better time
Should we bring our own cooler, or rent them out
Bring your own small one (16 something or another or less) and then rent the tube. Or, if you're not going to use the cooler ever again (or don't own one) then rent it. It's your call. It's just extra money. If you have your own then use it.
One of my best memories in San Antonio outside of bball.........
The Lion's Club burned down just a few weeks ago, so no tubing in SM right now.
Comal was good last week.
the Frio river in Concan
was gonna go this past weekend but the rain put a damper on that idea... in' bs rain!
So I can't bring my own tube and jump in the river, I have to pay someone and do it at specified hours?

For those of you that have access to your own tubes and don't feel like paying someone else to get on a free river. Get your tubes loaded into 2 vehicles and drive to Comfort. Take the 27 to Hermann Sons Rd. Drive down to the bridge and park one of the vehicles. You can either stash the keys there under a rock, or bring them with and hope to keep them dry. Take the other vehicle (with tubes of course) back to the 27 and hang a left. Drive a few miles until you get to Lane Valley Rd. Drive down to the bridge and find a place to park. Start tubing. Once you get back to Hermann Sons bridge, you're done and you have a vehicle waiting there for you. The only thing left to do at that point is to drive back to Ln Valley bridge to get the other vehicle and head home. A whole day of tubing and you didn't have to pay anybody. You'll need a friend (or friends) of course for the other vehicle, but getting friends to go tubing usually isn't much of a problem.
Man.... I haven't been tubing in years.
I remember the last time I went I almost drowned though. I was trying to swim across the river and the current almost took me.
bump,
trying to get out there this weekend for the first time.
i remember they were trying to change the drinking laws out there last year, anyone know what happend ?
just remember it's a 16 (ounce? That doesn't sound right...16 something..quart..that's not right either...somethng) cooler. If you're tubing the Comal and you have too big of a cooler it's a $200 + fine.bump,

my nephew cam back last weekend from tubing with his foot all torn up.
The river is so low that his foot got caught in some rocks at just the wrong time and he had to have 16 s ches.
I've got at least 5 bad stories from tubing on the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers.
Not trying to discourage you.......just sayin.
Tubing on the Guadalupe is awesome. I went with like, 15 friends one time, and I had tortilla chips, salsa, and queso with me. I managed to convince a few females to come over for free chips.
