Park Right on the Comal River
When you park at Landa River Trips you are already at the river. No shuttle needed to get to the water – just park, grab your tube, and jump in. Our lot sits on over 1,400 feet of Comal River frontage at the very start of the river, approximately 30 minutes of float time upstream of the famous Comal River Tube Chute.
Carpooling is Strongly Encouraged!
Landa River Trips is located near downtown New Braunfels where parking spaces can be small and limited on busy weekends. To avoid being separated from your group and to guarantee everyone parks together we strongly encourage carpooling. Large trucks and SUVs may struggle to fit in some parking spots.
- Carpooling keeps your group together from the start
- Reduces the risk of part of your group being unable to find parking
- Large trucks and SUVs may not fit in all spots
- Multiple vehicles for one group is not recommended on busy weekends
