TENNIS SHOES, Aqua-shoes, water shoes or other footwear are
needed to protect your feet against cuts, scrapes and bruises while
walking to and from entry/exit points. Shoes also protect your bare
feet from the rocky river bottom or broken glass. Note: No
Glass is allow on the river for this vary reason. WARNING:
Do NOT wear Flip-Flops, they will slide off your feet and you
will lose them in the river... then you will be bare foot and really
bumming out, especially if you step on something sharp... this small
mistake can ruin your entire float trip! Make the small investment
for a good pair of water shoes and be happy! |

to take your medications with you on the river, be sure and pack
them in a water proof or water tight container or a zip lock bag and
then secure them in a safe place so you can take them at the proper

DOGS
& Guadalupe River Tubing:
Dogs are welcome
to go tubing on the Guadalupe River and ride on Tube Haus
shuttles with you, however, you are 100% completely
responsible for the safety and well being of your dog at all
times, including its behavior towards other people, other dogs
and/or animals... Tube Haus is not responsible for your dog(s)
in any regard or manner. Not all dogs are suited for river
tubing (and for some humans as well, as mentioned above)...
there are both inherent and unknown risks and dangers
on the Guadalupe River...these include but are not limited to
injury or loss of life to you or your dog. Know your dog's
abilities and make your decisions accordingly... PLEASE NOTE:
Tube Haus has a "NO REFUND POLICY", so if your dog
does not like River Tubing, there are NO REFUNDS!
Some people would like their dog(s) to wear a life jacket
while tubing and/or swimming...We DO NOT have, nor do we offer
life jackets for DOGS, please bring your own Doggy life jacket
IF your dog needs or requires one. Dogs have sharp claws and
occasionally puncture their tube, because of this, there will
be a $25 cash charge for your dog's tube should your dog
puncture or lose its tube or if it gets stolen. Most Dogs
don't carry cash with them, so you "the owner" will
have to cover the charges or expenses for your canine
companion. Please note, there is a county ordinance for
Comal County, that requires all dogs to be on a leash and a
fine of up to $500 for dogs running loose. |
