If you want to experience Texas River Tubing at it's finest, there is only one place to go...
Tube
Haus! Look for the BIG
Texas Flag painted on our Huge
Billboard and you'll find the best river tubing in Texas! We're
located at the beginning of "The Famous Horseshoe Loop" section of the Guadalupe River,
which is a 1 mile stretch of the river shaped just like a Horseshoe! (Click
here to see an
Aerial View of the "Horseshoe Loop" and then hover your
mouse over the river.) As you look at the
Aerial Map of the Horseshoe Loop, you'll see a Bridge at each end of the
Horseshoe. If you hover your mouse over each Bridge, you'll see an
"info tag" pop up. The Bridge on the left side the
"Entry Point" is where you will begin your Float Trip. The
Bridge on the right side of the Horseshoe is the "Exit Point"
for our "Short Float", if you continue floating past that
Bridge, you will float another 1 1/2 miles to the "4th Crossing
Bridge" and "Take Out Point", which marks the end of our
"Long Float". Floating down the Guadalupe River on inner tubes is fast becoming one of the most
popular and fun ways to stay cool under the hot Texas sun all summer long!

If you're looking for a great place
to enjoy a Float Trip on the Guadalupe River with friends, family and your
dog,
Tube Haus is
the Oasis you've been searching for. Tube Haus is "pet friendly"
(referring to dogs) and you can find out the details in our "Tubing
Checklist", see item number 16 at the bottom of the
list.
Our 3 biggest weekends of the Tube
Season are Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July Weekend, and Labor Day
Weekend. We highly recommend that you plan ahead for all 3 Holidays,
especially if you need Lodging,
Camping or an RV site because they usually book up pretty quick
just before school lets out for the summer. Tube Haus is one of the few
Outfitters who offer Free Round-Trip shuttle service from several of
the Local
Resorts, so you won't have to worry about driving and you can
enjoy your float trip that much more!
Tube
Haus is one of the original Outfitters that began renting inner tubes back
in 1978 on the Guadalupe River and now specialize exclusively in "Guadalupe River Tubing".
From the very beginning, Tube Haus has always been considered one of the top tubing destinations in Texas.
Tube Haus is located near New Braunfels in Canyon Lake, Texas, which has been
deemed the "Water Recreation Capital of Texas" by the
Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce. Tube rental fees cover all day tubing, parking and your return shuttle
from our Long float... choose between our Long float or our Short float,
or do both if you arrive early enough (our Short float does not require a shuttle, only our Long float requires
a shuttle). Float
times vary daily based on River
Levels and release rates from the
Canyon Lake Dam, please check with our rental desk for daily Float times (830-964-3011).
We accept Cash, M/C, Visa & Discover.

Rates & Prices" for Tube Rentals, Cooler Tubes,
Tubes with Bottoms, Tubes without Bottoms and a complete list of prices and don't forget
about our "Tubing
Coupon" for a discount on your tube rentals!
In 2007, the
New Braunfels City Council passed new River Rules, Ordinances and
Restrictions for anyone participating in River Tubing, Rafting or any
other water activities within the City Limits of New Braunfels on
the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers. These New River Rules, Regulations and
River Restrictions stirred up the whole River Tubing community all over
Texas and beyond! People were extremely upset and law suits were filed by
local Outfitters in protest, which are still ongoing. One of the biggest
questions we get at The Tube Haus in our emails is... "What are the
New River Rules and will they affect me when I go Tubing on the Guadalupe
River in Canyon Lake?" The simple answer is NO! The
New River Rules passed by the New Braunfels City Council only apply to
water activities "within the City Limits of New Braunfels" and do not apply
to the upper Guadalupe River in Canyon Lake, which is outside the City
Limits of New Braunfels. The Tube Haus is located outside the
City Limits of New Braunfels and thus you do not have to worry about any
of New Braunfels' River Rules and/or Restrictions. Tube Haus has posted a Chart on
our Website where you can compare the New Braunfels' River Rules with the
Texas State River Rules to see the differences. Basically nothing has
changed as far as Rules are concerned on the Guadalupe River in Canyon Lake except
for one New Rule
pertaining to "plastic containers" mainly used for Jello Shots... check out it out here: Guadalupe
and Comal River Rules
In regards to Cooler
Restrictions, there are NO Cooler Restrictions in Canyon Lake... bring
any size Cooler you like and as many Coolers as you need! Note:
There is a strict law which is heavily enforced for all rivers in Texas
that forbids any kind of Styrofoam on the river, so please do not bring
any "Styrofoam Coolers or products" with you on the river or you
may be fined up to $500. Glass is also illegal on the river, so bring
beverages and snacks in cans, plastic, or paper containers.
Cooler Tips for River
Tubing: The best Coolers for River Tubing range in
size from a 28 Quart capacity up to a 50 Quart capacity... in our
experience, Coolers larger than 50 Quarts become very heavy and difficult
to handle, so unless you have 2 strong individuals to handle your Cooler,
it's better to use a 50 Quart Cooler or smaller for easier handling and a more enjoyable day of
Guadalupe River Tubing! Also, Coolers larger than 50 Quarts may not fit
into an inner tube because they're too big or have an odd size that
prevents it from fitting into an inner tube. Another thing to consider when
deciding what size cooler to use and how many coolers to use, is which
Float Trip you plan on taking. You will not need as many beverages and/or
snacks on our Short Float (a 1 mile float) as you would need on our Long
Float (a 2 1/2 mile float).
We really like the Coleman
40-Quart Wheeled Cooler with a comfortable tow handle, large
sturdy wheels, and a hinged lid with 4 built in beverage
holders (it's extremely important to make sure you get the model
with the "hinged lid" or you stand a 99% chance of
losing your lid somewhere on the river unless it's attached to your
cooler, believe me, we've seen it hundreds of times! Coincidentally,
take a look at our main photo in the upper right corner of our
Website and you'll see a girl holding a detached Cooler Lid and a
beer! We're pretty sure she never made it back with her lid.) The 40
Quart Wheeled Coleman Cooler will fit nicely into a Tube and is easy
to move around when it's fully loaded! (We're not plugging this
Cooler for Coleman or getting paid, we simply just like it and
thought you might like it too!)
