“Take me to the river…”

The Outpost Tube & Raft Rental is available on the waterfront seven days a week for your floatin’ pleasure! We service both the Guadalupe and Comal rivers so depending on your wishes and age group, we have a trip made just for you.

Tubin’ is a New Braunfels’ tradition and the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day.

If you want to tube or raft the Guadalupe, we can put you in above Gruene rapid and you can float right on back to the lodge.

Prefer a relaxing 1½ to 2 hour tube trip on the shortest, crystal clear river in the world? The Comal River is just a five minute ride away and we’ll take you there and bring you back.
