About
Floating the river is one of the best ways to chill on a hot summer day in Central Texas!! Austin Party Bus Rental provides round trip river transportation services to San Marcos and New Braunfels. We work with all the tubing outfitters on the Guadalupe River and San Marcos River!!
So what is floating the river anyway??
Well it’s exactly what it sounds like. Folks get beer, an inner tube and maybe a speaker or two and float down the Guadalupe or San Marcos river for a few hours.
Price does not include tubes. We will take you to the tubing company and will pick you up when you are finished. You can leave personal items on the bus while you float the river!!
