At Austin Tubing Trips, we’re all about delivering the best possible river tubing experience. Whether you’re floating with friends, celebrating a birthday, or just looking to relax in nature, we monitor river conditions closely to ensure a fun, safe, and smooth ride.

Current San Marcos River Tubing Conditions
The San Marcos River flows steadily year-round thanks to its natural spring-fed source, making it one of the clearest and most reliable rivers in Central Texas for tubing. Even during dry spells or low rainfall, the river maintains a consistent flow, which means tubing trips rarely get canceled due to low water levels.

We watch for weather alerts and keep a close eye on rain forecasts in the area. If there’s heavy rainfall or severe weather that could impact the river or our guests’ safety, we’ll reach out in advance to reschedule or refund your trip.

We Also Float the Upper San Marcos – Crystal Clear and Exclusive
When river levels are low, our trips include access to the upper San Marcos River — a lesser-known, spring-fed stretch with crystal-clear water and a peaceful vibe that’s perfect for relaxing floats. Thanks to our exclusive agreement, Austin Tubing Trips is the only operator with regular access to this section of the river, giving you a unique and unforgettable tubing experience away from the crowds.

Rain, Flow Rates & Safety
While the San Marcos is spring-fed and less affected by drought, we always take safety seriously. In the rare event of extreme weather or unsafe conditions (like flash flooding or riverbank runoff), we may pause trips temporarily. We’ll always notify you promptly and provide flexible options.

You can count on us to deliver a quality experience with clean, clear water, dependable river flow, and an experienced team ready to help you float your cares away.
