Grab your sunscreen, floppy hats, and old tennis shoes for fun in the sun and a float that doesn't come with a straw.  It's tubin' time!

First stop - a dip and picnic lunch at The Blue Hole, one of the best loved natural swimming holes in the Hill Country.  This scenic oasis, almost hidden in the center of Wimberley, is lined with cypress trees, native grasses, wildflowers and rocky outcroppings. When you purchase your ticket, choose a Schlotzsky's ham, turkey, or veggie sandwich – baked sourdough buns with melted mozzarella, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, black olives, lettuce, tomato and signature dressing.  Chips, pickle, cookie, and bottled water included. 

After lunch it's off to San Marcos for a relaxing float down to the Rio Vista Rapids, where you may exit or hold on to your tube and “shoot” the three tiered rapids for a bit of chill and thrill!  The float trip takes approximately 1 – 1 ½ hours depending on the flow of the river. Shuttles run every 20 minutes giving you access to restrooms, snack bar and gift shop.

NOTES:   You must be able to swim and get yourself in and out of the water.  Release signature required before receiving tube.  Styrofoam and glass not allowed.  Don't forget sunscreen, hat, towel, and suitable footwear.  Personal items will be secure on the bus.

Ticket cost includes transportation, entrance fees, float tube, and lunch.
