Rockin' R River Rides has been voted the Best River Outfitter in New Braunfels for over two decades and is the premier destination for river tubing, kayaking, and rafting. The main location is the only river outfitter in Gruene and is also home to their riverside bar, The Gruene Light, and El Arroyo Tex-Mex food truck, making it the perfect spot to enjoy food, drinks, live music, and TVs on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Customers describe the river as very calm, perfect for families with little ones, with mild rapids and plenty of turtles. The river is generally shallow but can get deeper in some sections, and visitors can rent tubes or bring their own. The shuttle service is available for $20+tax per person. Reviewers praise the great, chill, and laid-back yet organized and efficient staff, who ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
My partner and I did a raft and had a wonderful time. We found great spots to anchor and just hang out. Did some swimming and the rapids were fun. At the end of the last exit we pulled our raft up and within a few minutes the bus arrived and took us back. Staff was friendly.
