Use a Comal River Tubing Outfitter Typically, their prices range from $15 to $22 per person, which often includes parking, shuttle service (to and from the river), tube rental, and other fees.

In 2026, floating the Comal River in New Braunfels typically costs between $25 and $50 per person when using a local outfitter for tube rentals and shuttle services. If you bring your own tube and only require a shuttle, the price is often lower, around $15 to $20. On weekends and holidays between Memorial Day and Labor Day, a $2 River Management Wristband is required for all tubers. For those who want to visit the river without a full float, an admission fee of $7 allows access to the famous City Tube Chute and public bank areas. To save money, many visitors opt for weekday floats when rental prices are at their lowest and crowds are thinner. Note that "disposable containers" like cans and plastic bottles are strictly prohibited on the river, so you may need to factor in the cost of a reusable, non-disposable container if you plan to bring refreshments.
