Myself, my boyfriend, my sister and her best friend with our kiddos 14, 13, 12 and 9 all stayed in one of the condos backing up to the Comal. We came down to float and anticipated some of the struggles of that, like coordinating with a river outfitter for getting on and off, reviewing the rules of the Comal, making sure the kids had as good a time as the over 21 crowd would and safely. What we learned is that the Comal and this condo simplifies IT ALL!!! No outfitter needed. Condo so close no cooler was necessary. Need a bathroom break or a snack...no problem. The condo was literally a staircase and a couple parking spaces away from the river exit. Better than that even... the entrance was just across the street and a very short walk; less than 5 minutes. To the chutes was about 10-15 minutes carrying our tubes. We only did that once and were completely ok with it.
We LOVE the Guadalupe river float trips, but they can sometimes be a beat down if you arent correctly prepared, but NOT here! It is fool proof. Everything was easy and enjoyable for all. Bring your own tubes and you are ready to go. Float once, twice or 7 times it is up to you.
Already planning our next trip.
