I am a large 6'5 285lb guy. I had the worst experience of my life with my 12yr. old daughter todally un expected and un prepared I nearly drowed as well as my daugther. Once around the turn we loss our tube and was caught in the worst forcefull current I ever encountered in 43yrs. I didn't think i would... More

Not too bad but still murky. It's around Schlitterbahn so that's neat. It also flows into the popular "Shoots" that people love to go through. Flows through a really nice park though so it's really worth visiting. More

Definatly not a white water adventure in May of '11, but drought conditions applied. We got out early. Not so much for us. I would more recommend it for young people. My husband got tired of the "rowing to get things going". More

I was born and raised in New Braunfels and have been floating down the Comal River too many times to count. It's fun for every age! Bring your water shoes, your sunglasses, leave your keys at the tube rental place, bring your beverage of choice. Check the container rules before getting on the river...it is really great fun! More

Within the first year of moving to San Antonio, I took my children tubing along the Comal River. I had heard that it was a fun,leisurely, float down the river and that it would alleviate the boredom suffered by children during the long, hot summer. At the time, my children were 12 and 14. It turned out to be one... More

Nothing beats a tube down the Comal, but it is not always family friendly. As a haven for drunken college students and bachelorette parties you can bet you will have a great time, see some skin and maybe even see someone getting arrested. It's beautiful, the water is super refreshing, the 3 sets of rapids are fun. The first is... More

This is a very popular Hill Country attraction especially in the summer since the clear spring-fed water in the Comal is pretty cold. Free access to the river is best via Prince Solms Park. Find a parking spot and walk to the island with your tubes. If you do not have tubes or a pick up (someone to pick you... More

I was a virgin tuber until a few days ago. I visited the Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas. I grabbed my tube from TexasTubes (texastubes.com methinks). I got stuck buying an overpriced plastic bottle for my drinks because cans and plastic water bottles are prohibited on the river. Nevertheless, the plastic bottle held 3.5 cans of Coors light. So...

I just returned from a fun afternoon tubing on the Comal River in New Braunfels with my extended family. Our group (4 adults & 2 elementary-aged kids) really enjoyed the ride! The Comal is referred to as one of the shortest navigable rivers in the world. At about 3 miles long, it is a nice distance for a family-friendly float.... More
