A charming small city near San Antonio, Texas, New Braunfels is a well-known and popular destination for Spring Break. While Downtown New Braunfels offers the typical kind of Spring Break entertainment such as live music and great restaurants, the New Braunfels’ real claim to fame and biggest attractions are its two lovely rivers, the Comal River and the Guadalupe. There is something very soothing about slowly drifting down the river in one of the large tubes, with or without drink in your hand, with your friends or family. Comal River is beautiful, pristine, and spring-fed, with its headwaters at the Edwards Aquifer. There is a range of experienced outfitters who will provide you with the instructions and tube and let you go with the flow. You can also join tubing group at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark. While alcoholic drinks are allowed on Comal River, keep in mind that no disposable drink containers are permitted.
