Highlights
Outing Highlights
A Relaxed, Scenic Float on the Comal
The core of the experience is a roughly two-hour float down the Comal River—an accessible, social stretch of water where the shuttle returns you to your start point so you can relax and enjoy the current.
Regular and Bottom Tubes for Comfort
Choose between a traditional vinyl 'regular' tube (open bottom, handles, cup holder) and a 'bottom' tube with a vinyl floor for added back support and better suitability for children or coolers; water still flows through the bottom tube.
Shuttle Service and On‑Site Extras
The rental includes a single round-trip shuttle pass and taxes (including the $2 city entrance fee when required), plus optional add-ons such as floating phone bags, sunscreen spray, and portable containers.

From check-in to takeout the outing is streamlined: sign for your tube, board the shuttle, and drop into the Comal for a mostly relaxed, current-driven float that typically lasts about two hours once on the river. It’s an easy day on the water with little technical demand—most of the time you’re drifting, chatting, and soaking up sun.
