PaddleTX is a full-service river adventure outfitter based at Hacienda Del Rio River Resort on the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas, offering kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, tubes, and a genuinely distinctive fleet of crystal kayaks — plus mini-golf and paddle boats at nearby Landa Park. “Come Putt, Paddle & Play with Paddle Tx” — the business promises endless possibilities for a day on the water.
Crystal Kayaks let guests experience the crystal-clear Comal River like never before, paddling 2-person kayaks with LED lights shining below the surface through the transparent bottom — a genuinely one-of-a-kind guided trip accommodating up to 6 kayaks and 12 people on either the Comal or Guadalupe River, with a distinctive Crystal Kayak Night Trip option for after-dark magic. Traditional Kayak Rentals run aboard brand-new Jackson Kayaks for a leisurely float under the cypress tree canopy. Stand-Up Paddleboard Rentals support up to 550 lbs (with room for a pet or small kid in tow), with group rentals, private lessons, and SUP Yoga also available. Tube Rentals offer a peaceful, less crowded float on the Guadalupe River, well suited to guests wanting to avoid the busier Comal.
A genuinely convenient VIP Door-to-Door River Transportation package (groups of 6+, starting at $40/person, including tube and roundtrip shuttle) is available for New Braunfels-area visitors, with the business recommending the Guadalupe on Saturdays specifically to avoid Comal River congestion — typically a 3-4 hour float. Season Passes are also offered for regular visitors.
Guest testimonials describe a genuinely memorable, friendly night kayaking experience on the Comal, with staff patiently answering kids’ many questions and making a New Braunfels vacation especially special.
