10 Top Tips from locals before tubing in:
1. "Put life jackets on little ones. If you go down the tube chute and flip, let yourself go to the bottom and push yourself up diagonally. There is a whirlpool there that will keep you down. Do not fight it. Have fun!!" ~ Priscilla

2. "Take a moment to enjoy the gorgeous trees, admire a turtle or even catch a glimpse of a gorgeous water snake along the shore. It’s all so beautiful. Such natural beauty!" ~Kortnee

3. "
Keep in mind if anybody in your party is not a strong swimmer I highly recommend life jackets or avoid the tube chute all together. Other than that it’s a beautiful float but very busy on the weekends if you could. I would go during the week less crowded." ~Catherine

4. "
Make sure to wear water shoes or old sneakers, there are lots of slick surfaces, jagged rocks, and the pavement gets hot enough to fry an egg on." ~Martin

5. "
Don't tie your tubes together as it's a huge safety hazard going down the tube chute on comal." ~Shirley

6. "
Bring sunscreen with you and use it frequently and wear hats and sunglasses with straps (and use them). I would also sunscreen shirts especially for kids. Leave your phone, wallet, car keys, and camera...Stay hydrated. Lastly and most important, have fun." ~Kathy

7. "
I suggest you go to Prince Solms Park one evening and walk down to the river to observe people who are floating. Get familiar with the area. Walk around the sidewalks by the water to see where you can get out before the tube chute and where to get back in after the tube chute. Watch people go through the chute and see who is successfully navigating it, and what happens to the people who do not." ~Kristi

8. "
Don’t bring Anything of value or anything you don’t want to lose. Wedding bands, phones and expensive items should be left at home." ~Katy

9. "Tube with a bottom for a cooler (bring a big plastic cup with a screw on cap and have pre-made drinks) make sure you put all your trash into the provided yellow or red bag and don’t litter!! If you want to, bring a waterproof speaker for music i.e. a waterproof bag for a phone to play music and make sure it’s tied to someone or something or in the cooler." ~
Sydney

​10. "No cans or disposable containers unless you want a ticket." ~Asiah
