New Braunfels Party Bus, Limo & Shuttle Rental

New Braunfels is one of the most charming cities in Texas. Founded in 1845 by German immigrants led by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, the city has maintained its German-Texan character through nearly two centuries of growth. The architecture, the food, the festivals, and the spirit of gemutlichkeit (cozy friendliness) that permeates the community all reflect this heritage. Walking down Gruene Road or through the historic district, you will find German bakeries next to Texas barbecue joints, polka music drifting from beer halls, and a community that takes its fun seriously. The city sits fifty miles south of Austin where the Balcones Escarpment meets the Texas Coastal Plain, creating a dramatic landscape where Hill Country limestone gives way to river valleys. The Comal River -- the shortest navigable river in Texas at just two and a half miles -- runs through the heart of town, while the Guadalupe River defines the city's western edge. Both rivers are fed by natural springs, producing crystal-clear water that stays refreshingly cool even during the brutal Texas summer. But New Braunfels is fifty minutes from Austin on I-35, and the traffic on summer weekends can add significantly to that drive time. Parking at river outfitters, Gruene Hall, and Schlitterbahn fills up fast. And after a day of floating, dancing, and enjoying the German beer that flows freely in this town, nobody should be driving home on the interstate. Therefore, a party bus from Austin Party Ride turns a New Braunfels day trip into a carefree celebration. The bus handles the I-35 drive, drops you at the river or venue or waterpark, and brings everyone home safely. The ride to New Braunfels sets the mood. The ride home lets you relive the highlights. And nobody worries about traffic, parking, or designated drivers.

New Braunfels is the river tubing capital of Texas. The city sits at the confluence of two incredible rivers, each offering a distinct floating experience. The Comal River is the shorter, gentler option. At just two and a half miles, it is the shortest navigable river in Texas, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in character. The Comal is spring-fed from the massive Comal Springs, and the water is impossibly clear. The float takes about ninety minutes, passing through Landa Park (a beautiful city park with spring-fed pools and walking trails) and along a stretch of bars and restaurants where you can pull your tube ashore for a drink. The river tube chute at Landa Park is free and marks the starting point for most Comal floats. The Guadalupe River offers a longer, more adventurous float. The horseshoe loop section -- the most popular stretch -- takes three to four hours and passes through scenic Hill Country terrain with some minor rapids, deep swimming holes, and rope swings. Outfitters like Rockin' R River Rides and TubeHaus provide tubes, cooler tubes, and shuttle service between put-in and take-out points. A party bus is the best way to do either river. The bus carries all your gear (coolers, towels, dry clothes, phones), eliminates the need for multiple cars, and handles the post-float drive home when the group is sun-drenched, tired, and potentially several beers deep. The bus picks you up at the take-out point, turns on the AC, and transports you to the next stop or home.
