Tubing | Glow Kayaking | Horseback Riding | Enjoying the Texas Wine Trail

The warm weather is finally here and the best summer fun is in the Texas Hill Country! Whether you’re looking to get some exercise or just chill, you’ll find plenty of cool things to do. Best of all, though, you’ll get to enjoy the unparalleled natural beauty of central and south Texas.

Unwind As You Float Down the River

You won’t have to go far to find a place in the Hill Country to drop a tube in the river and drift away. Whether it’s the San Marcos, the Guadalupe or the Comal River, you’ll find plenty of places to rent a tube, if necessary, or bring your own. Some sunscreen, a picnic basket and you’re ready to go.

Try Something New—Glow Kayaking

Also known as glow paddling, this adventure is best enjoyed at night. You’ll get in a clear bottom kayak with waterproof lights underneath. It’s a truly unique way to experience the waterways in the Hill Country. You can venture into hidden coves in the dark and often see marine wildlife in their natural habitat through the bottom of the boat. Join some friends and have an after-dark party or go off on your own for a one-of-a-kind meditative experience.

Go for a Canter

The Texas Hill Country offers great terrain for horseback riding. You’ll find a number of stables that can accommodate riders of varying skill levels.

Enjoy Some of the World’s Finest Wines

The Hill Country boasts more than 100 wineries, with about 60 of them in Gillespie County alone. You’ll find wineries that are kid-friendly, wineries that are dog-friendly and wineries that offer full-service dining facilities. Come at the right time of the year and you can participate in one of the annual grape-stomping events.
