"Fun Things To Do Near Houston - Comal River Tubing!" Texas Tubes
is in Houston's backyard, just a
short 2 1/2 hour drive
to our location right on the shores of the amazing Comal River! Texas Tubes is the closest place for Houston River Floating on the beautiful spring-fed crystal clear waters of the Comal River in New Braunfels. River Tubing in Houston is NOT offered on the
Buffalo Bayou River, which is a super Lazy River running through west-central Houston. The water in the Buffalo Bayou River is brown and is moving so slow, that you're almost sitting at a complete stand still, barely moving in your tube, which is not any fun, so the next best place to float near Houston is in New Braunfels at Texas Tubes!
Texas Tubes is located right on the shoreline of the Comal River, so when you arrive in your vehicle, you'll simply park, rent a tube, and jump in to the refreshing crystal-clear spring-fed waters of the Comal River and start having a fantastic time immediately, splashing around, floating, swimming, and blasting through the famous
New Braunfels Tube Chute!
The
Comal River
is the shortest navigable river in Texas and runs through the middle of downtown New Braunfels, so there are abundant restaurants, coffee houses, Pubs, Bars & Grills, a robust nightlife, music scene and venues, grocery stores, big box stores & small specialty stores, gas stations, and many other conveniences nearby for last minute items you might need on the river and to help you plan an amazing float trip on the Comal River.

Note:
There is "road construction" in several spots along Hwy I-10, so depending when you head to Texas Tubes, you could experience traffic delays in the construction areas. Here's a link to
DriveTexas - Highway Conditions to help you make informed decisions to avoid stop-and-go traffic delays as much as possible. With the help of "
DriveTexas" you may be able to create your own detours and avoid the construction areas altogether! For example, US-90 runs parallel to Hwy I-10 in the construction areas, so you could get off Hwy I-10 and get on US-90 to avoid the construction areas altogether!)
