I recommend reading all of these FAQs: https://www.tubesanmarcos.com/faqs.html
I will summarize some of the key points:

Cost?

• $25 per tube rental, which includes all day access to our tubes and shuttle service! (Get $2 off per tube using the promo code: Earlybird)

• $15 for unlimited shuttle service (if you are not renting tubes with us). ​

• We highly recommend booking online with us to rent a tube or to use the shuttle system. Using the promo code "earlybird" during the checkout process will save you $2 per tube!

Is alcohol allowed?

• You are allowed to have alcohol while you float but it is unlawful to consume alcohol in any of the San Marcos city parks.

• You are not allowed to possess Glass or Styrofoam inside of the San Marcos River or in any of the city parks (this is a state law for all Texas parks and rivers).

Are dogs allowed in the parks? Are they allowed on the shuttle?

• Dogs are allowed in city parks as long as they are leashed at all times.

• Dogs are allowed on the shuttles as long as they are leashed and our employees are allowed to pet and/or take pictures of them!
​

What is the river like?

• The San Marcos River is a natural river system that begins from an underground source in San Marcos at Spring Lake and flows 72 degrees and crystal clear year-round.

singleNote that all proceeds from this event help support the mission of the San Marcos Lion's Club.

RSVPs for this event will close at 8:00pm on Tuesday, May 26th to allow proper coordination of those participating.

I am looking forward to sharing this relaxing and fun event with you!
