2 hours 30 minutes

Mobile ticket

This is a private tubing experience for groups of 10-15 people. We are the only company that offers tubing in Downtown Austin. What sets our trip apart from competitors is we are going on the spring river created by Barton Springs pool. This means that you won't waste 4 hours on a bus and you can make the most of your time in Austin.

Every minute of this tour you will be in the water, and when you get out, you'll be just a few minutes away from restaurants, bars, etc.

Furthermore, you can choose to stay and linger in the area after the tour and continue the water fun unlike the competitors who will herd back onto a bus and make you sit through traffic for hours to get back to Austin.

The float is slow. Highlights are watching the bridge jumpers and rope swingers and ending at Party Island.

Additional Info

Public transportation options are available nearby

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

What To Expect

You're in town for 2 days. Why waste 4 hours on a hot bus when you can tube the spring river near downtown Austin and make the most out of the rest of your day? Book this tube float trip and maximize your stay. Here are the main benefits of booking this trip. We are floating near downtown Austin so less time on the road and you're definitely not sharing a bus with 50 other people. The river is slow and relaxing. No rapids. For the adventure seekers there is a bridge jump and plenty of rope swings. The springs make an excellent swimming hole. When the trip is over there is still plenty of fun to have without a tube and no bus to catch so you can hangout longer at Zilker Park or Barton Springs or in the river you just tubed! There is what I can only describe as "Party Island" at the end of the float which is a sand bar where hundreds of people hangout in the middle of the river on the weekends. This trip is nice because you can make it what you want from family friendly to Bachelor's in Paradise. When you book with me, my auto reply comes with a "must do in Austin list" so you can make the most of your trip!

What‘s Included

We provide tubes, dry storage, a cooler with ice, and transport back to the starting point if needed

    This was the highlight of my sister's bachelorette party trip! We had so much fun floating along the creek to the river. It was beautiful and relaxing. When the tour opened up to the Colorado River, the view of the city was gorgeous! Highly recommended!

    Awesome time! Great way to kill a few hours and relax on the water. Multiple rope swings along the way and lots of people enjoying the river. Our guide Aaron was super chill and friendly, clips on to the tubes and totes you around the river. If you’re looking for something to get ya on the water and knock back some drinks this is 100% better than a party boat rental an hour outside of town.

  • Super fun and relaxing!!!

    Absolutely so fun! Water was not freezing cold and we went in April. We jumped off a bridge and were able to relax as we were pulled down the lake. Our guide was Stephen and he was top notch. Highly recommend!
