Your tubing adventure with Austin Tubing Trips lasts about six hours, from the initial meetup to your drop-off. You’ll spend approximately 3.5 hours floating down the beautiful San Marcos River. Our transport service provides convenience, taking you to the best launch point, while we supply the tubes. All you need to focus on is relaxing and enjoying your time on the water.
What to Bring
Less is more when tubing. Here’s what you should pack for a hassle-free experience:
- Swimsuit: Comfortable and quick drying is key.
- Footwear: Flip flops or river shoes make for easy walking.
- Beverages: Bring your favorite drinks—cans only; glass or styrofoam is not allowed. Stay hydrated and enjoy your refreshments while floating.
Please remember, we do not have lockers on-site. Avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle as we cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items. Along with these essentials, all you need is a good attitude to make the most of this awesome experience!
Cooler Rentals
Want to keep your drinks cold? While cooler setups are not included with your tubing trip, you can rent one for just $28. This includes a cooler, ice, and a tube to secure it. Make sure to reserve your cooler in advance, as availability on the day of your trip can be limited.
Group Booking
Planning a group outing? Make the day even better by ensuring everyone is aware of the rules and schedule. This makes coordination easier and ensures a smoother experience for all participants.
For those looking for spontaneity, same-day bookings are available—just reserve up to one hour before departure, based on availability. You’ll receive a confirmation email, so keep an eye on your inbox.
