Ride Sharing
Be prepared for a little wait on the weekends, especially at night. Plan ahead by calling a ride 20-30 minutes beforehand.
À ne pas manquer
Tubing
New Braunfels and Seguin are great places to go tubing. If you are traveling from afar, rent tubes and get free parking and shuttle. If you plan on tubing often and want to buy your own tubes, go to an HEB near the river to pick some up. Go for the $12-15 tubes, and grab an electric air pump!
