Things to do in Austin, Texas (TX): The Best River Rafting & Tubing

February 18, 2022 Chanda Heide

Every year thousands of hipsters, groupies, and die-hard fans flock to Austin for the annual South by Southwest festival, which has catapulted the Texas city up the must-visit charts for many travelers. The sandstone Capitol building is symbolic of the Lone Star State’s "bigger is better" mentality, featuring a gorgeous whispering gallery rotunda and 22 acres of grounds. Cool off with a dip in Barton Springs, a huge natural limestone pool that’s fed by underground sources.

Austin Tubing Trips

Best river tubing trips from Austin with transportation and tubes included. Public trip departs on weekends from downtown Austin and is the least expensive option from Austin, and in the best buses with AC and sound systems. Private option available with pickup from your own address for $65-$69 per person with coolers, ice and cooler tubes included and all we need is a $150 deposit that goes towards the balance to reserve and you can even pay by Venmo. All trips bypass line to get you on river and drive you back in a great vehicle. *We never use regular school buses without AC like the other guys.
