Best ATX rivers to go tubing
San Marcos River is a gem for tubing, especially when you gather your favorite friends or family. The experience offers an excellent way for groups to bond, enjoy nature, and have an unforgettable time floating down the river. Whether you’re a small crew or a large gathering, planning your tubing adventure doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s how to coordinate the perfect day on the water with your group.


1. Coordinate Transportation Efficiently
Getting to the river can be a challenge, especially for larger groups. To avoid the hassle of driving separate cars, consider using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. Not only does this keep everyone together, but it also eliminates parking concerns at the pickup point.
- Pickup Location: Our bus stages at 160 E Riverside, Austin, TX 78704.

2. Rent Tubes Together
When you arrive at the river, ensure everyone is set with a tube. While Austin Tubing Trips provides tubes, if you want to enhance your trip, consider cooler rentals for extra convenience. Cooler setups are available for $28, which includes a cooler, ice, and a tube for it. Reserve your cooler ahead of time to guarantee availability.

3. What to Bring
Less is more! Keep it minimal by only bringing essentials:
- Swimsuit
- Flip flops or river shoes
- Favorite beverages (cans only—no glass or Styrofoam)
Remember, there are no lockers available. Avoid bringing valuable items as we cannot guarantee their safety during the trip. All you need to bring is a good attitude and readiness to enjoy.

4. Group Booking Made Easy
Planning for a group? Make the booking process seamless. Ensure that every member is aware of the rules and schedule, minimizing the chances of confusion. You can reserve your trip for same-day bookings up to one hour before departure, subject to availability. A confirmation email will follow after your booking.
