About Texas State Tubes

Texas State Tubes offers tubing adventures on the San Marcos River near San Marcos. Visitors drive to the location, check in, and hop on inner tubes to float downstream on the spring-fed river system for approximately three hours. A custom-built boat ramp marks the exit where staff assist tubers out of the water. Shuttle buses then transport visitors back upstream to their vehicles. The company operates walk-up tubing trips where guests can bring their own tubes or rent them. Public tubing trips depart from Downtown Austin with a San Marcos River Guide who kayaks alongside the group. For larger parties, private transportation tubing trips are available. During off-season months, Texas State Tubes offers the Taste & Tour experience featuring private transportation through the Texas Hill Country with a bring-your-own-beverage option. The attraction suits anyone seeking a river float experience, from solo visitors to organized groups and families with children ages seven and older.
