Well we’ve got the place and we don’t have a can ban! Here are some tips to make it as easy as possible.
- Squad Up! Tubing is way more fun with friends. And guess what? If you can get at least 5 buddies to go with you, especially on a day other than Saturday, you are set! Weekends require at least 8 in your crew!
- Location, Location, Location! You’re going to the San Marcos River, about 45 minutes away from Austin. This place is a Texas GEM!
- Plan for About 6 Hours: The whole trip — travel time included — will take around six hours. Floating time itself, about 3.5 hours of pure bliss.
- Keep Your Drinks Cold!! You get a free cooler and a tube for your cooler in every group of 6! It is best to keep your drinks nice and cold!
- Timing is everything. Know that we can pick your group up within a 15-minute radius of the JW Marriott in Austin. Now you have no excuse to be late or plan appropriately!
- Sunscreen is your BFF: Seriously, slather it on thick. Nobody wants to look like a lobster on their Insta pics. And reapply, reapply, reapply!
- Hydrate! Bring plenty of water. The Texas sun is no joke. You need to chug water the whole time.
- What to Wear: swimsuit and maybe bring quick-drying clothes, like athletic shorts and a breathable shirt. No jeans, lol!
- Don’t be a Litterbug: Pack out everything you pack in. Keep the San Marcos River beautiful! Leave No Trace
- Be Prepared for Anything: If the weather gets wild, no worries! You can always switch your tubing adventure to a wine, distillery, or brewery tour instead (click to see options). Win-win!
