Rockin R River Rides

Rockin R River Rides

The only river outfitter in New Braunfels to have locations on both the Guadalupe & Comal Rivers!

Rockin’ R is the New Braunfels’ premier destination for kayaking, rafting, stand-up paddle boarding and TUBING! We are the only outfitter in the City that has a location in a location in Gruene and also the only company in the local industry that offers floats on both the Comal & Guadalupe Rivers! Rockin’ R River Rides is a New Braunfels tradition that started over 40 years ago when two guys drove

Even though the temperatures say otherwise, fall is just around the corner!🍂

We had such a blast last year at our 1st Annual Pumpkin Patch at Rockin’ R in Gruene that we are gearing up for year number two.👏🏻

SAVE THE DATES for our 🎃2nd Annual Pumpkin Patch!🎃 We will be open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. beginning September 28th – November 3rd, (*Open Monday Oct. 14, Columbus Day*)

Perched along the banks of the Guadalupe River, our patch will boast picturesque photo ops, and a large selection of all kinds of pumpkins. We will have seasonal drinks, and treats for the entire family. Entrance into The Patch is FREE to the public.🤩

We are also THRILLED to be able to offer our patch goers a covered, fully shaded pumpkin patch experience this year. This truly unique opportunity allows for you to join us for five straight weeks of fall fun…rain or shine, hot or cold!

Little Pumpkin’s Play Patch will also be returning this year with a corn pit, bounce houses, a jump pad, crafts, games, and a picnic area. The child entry price is $10 on Thursdays and Fridays, and $12 on the weekends. Season passes will also be available for $40. All supervising adults and children under 2 are FREE entry. Online ticket purchase options are COMING SOON!

Our small, hometown Pumpkin Patch provides all the fun of the big scale farms minus the drive, high price tag, and overwhelming crowds. Come and check it out for yourself!!🍂🌽🎃

Sponsorship opportunities are still available, so don’t miss your chance to get your brand or business in front of our hundreds of thousands of social media followers and our patch patrons as we celebrate the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Patch at Rockin’ R! Please email [email protected] for more details.

P.S. We are confident if you share this post the sun will stop shining so hard!😉🌞

Our Story

Rockin ‘R’ River Rides has been doing business in New Braunfels for 40 years. Two guys who had a dream back in 1979 made it come true and we all thank them from the bottom of our hearts. What started with 50 toobs, two lawn chairs, their personal pick-ups and a small patch of ground has grown beyond their wildest dreams. It hasn’t always been easy depending on Mother Nature to put food on the tables, but somehow they’ve made it work through droughts and devastating floods. It must be destiny, well go figure with the last name “Rivers”.

Rockin ‘R’ River Rides is your one stop shop for all your tube, raft, kayak, paddle board and equipment needs for New Braunfels, Texas. The only outfitter on both the Guadalupe and Comal river and voted Best Outfitter for 33 years running.

Showing folks a good time in a piece of Texas heaven is what it’s all about to these guys. Come experience what put a twinkle in their eyes all those years ago!
