    Read this scam! This place doesn't answer question on the street because they have the front desk scam you, charge you 25 dollars just for one time around the river but never tell you it's 32$ until you want to go again. Very disappointing customer service. Then tried talking to the manager and he said that he feels "scammed and scared" when we just tried to talk to him. Happened on July 15th 2023

    Hands down the BEST tubbing, parking and transportation place around the river! Lillee, Emily, and Owen were so helpful! Honestly the best hospitality. You would be missing out if you didn't decide to stop here! I'm coming back just for the customer service!

    Whenever we're in the Gruene area (which is a lot) and we want to to float, we always use Rockin'…read moreR. This is their main location. They have several in the regional area but my review is for the Gruene location. The staff are really fun and helpful (you know like when you're getting out and fall on your rear and they help you out of the water). Rental rates are fair and the tubes are clean.

    I will start by saying, I don't entirely blame the business for what happened during our float, and…read morethey did try to remedy it by giving us free passes to come back - or to use another location. The main takeaways for my post if you don't want to read (TLDR): 1. This location should NOT be advertised as a float - it is seriously very dangerous when the water is low, we all popped our tubes and had small injuries from the rocks - I am glad with my injuries being small - it could have been SOOO much worse 2. Aggressive turtles and water snakes everywhere 3. The entire float route is surrounded by private property so there is literally no way to exit unless you go to the end .. The day started out great - the Gruene location was nice, we did not pay for parking as others have mentioned (not sure why we didn't). The main complaint about the actual location where you sign in and get your tubes are the rest rooms. They were not clean and the water did not work. Also, the entire place was run by children which was very weird to me. There was no one over the age of 20 working the day (Sunday) we went. A kid that looked to be literally 13 was the one to help us into the river and didn't say a word to us- just looked at us and put the tubes in the water (which I understand - I was shy at that age as well). My main concern and the reason why I am posting is that this route (in my opinion) should NOT be used by this company as an advertised float. It was genuinely super dangerous. I have floated multiple times throughout Texas and have not encountered rocks and rapids like this. We got stuck multiple times on the rocks and it took us 3 hours to just get half way to the first exit. After the second set of rocks we were DONE. Our tubes had all popped and several of us had injuries (nothing super serious - bruises and cuts from the rocks - one girl hurt her back pretty badly and had spasms) . We called the company and asked for someone to pick us up (to which another child answered the phone). They offered to bring us new tubes - which they did. The kid that brought us the tubes told us we were two hours from the exit (which apparently was not correct). Because they wouldn't come pick us up and told me we had to tube down to the end where the exit is - we decided the best option was to call the non-emergency number for the Sheriff. She told us to call 911 to get more precise coordinates for our location - which we then did. An ambulance came and the EMT's found us and were able to escort us out of the back of people's homes (we did not want to trespass on these people's properties - also there were giant staircases we were unsure if the one girl with the back injury could even make it up). Everyone was fine, the EMT's dropped us off at the entrance to Rockin R - which we were then greeted by the location's owners. They told us it had been a misunderstanding and they didn't realize someone was injured - which I literally told them over the phone twice. After the confusion subsided, they did give us free passes to come back - which I won't be using. I understand these things happen and we did sign waivers - but the company should not be using this route. Someone will get seriously injured on these rocks one of these days. I guarantee it..

    Following on a message from Mike that he had taken over management of the company and had it…read morerunning smoothly again, we took two kayaks out for a paddle on the Guadalupe. Our interactions with Outlaw River Rentals were indeed very smooth from drop off to pick up, everyone was friendly and professional, plus there was very helpful guidance about river conditions. This was the experience we had hoped for last year. No fault of ORR, the area is in the midst of a drought which meant drop off and pick up were from the boat ramp under the highway, because there is little current in the river. Upstream is nicer scenery but does require carrying the boat over a weir (small dam), while downstream the scenery was riverside suburbs (maybe more natural further downstream). In more normal conditions the trip involves drop off here but then riding the current downstream to a take out. There was mention of potential future drop off at Canyon Lake at what sounds like a very interesting area.

    SCAM!!! NO STORE FRONT!! Extremely Unprofessional!!! Rent at your own risk!!!…read moreFew weeks back we paid and reserved for 5 double kayaks and 1 single kayak with Lisa at the Outlaw River Rentals. Payment was made via zelle, and reservations were complete. Drop off at Friday morning and pick up at Saturday evening, that was the total duration of the reservation, total cost with what were told deep discounts was $714.44. We talked on the phone and exchanged text message as they were very busy [What I was told]. Weather got pretty nasty and the river was absolutely dirty so we called and tried to cancel, didn't get a response, we sent a text message stating the request for cancellation and refund. It was accepted and the reservations were cancelled. On asking how the refund would take we were told 3-5 business days. Fast forward more than two week and I still have not heard from them. After several failed calls and text messages I have not heard back. If you are working with this company do it at your own risk. Read some more reviews after this incident and found out they have duped other folks too and have charged their credit cards multiple times.. So Lisa and Mike if you are reading this... let me just let you know what you did with us was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for!

    Little Ponderosa River Outfitters was the company our group chose to get us right to float the…read moreGuadalupe River. This was my first time floating so there were alot of unknowns. Their website was helpful with some of the questions I had and all other questions were answered when I got there. Our group was around 16 deep and we were the first customers of the day. The staff here was very patient with us and got us situated smoothly. There's a fair amount of parking out front and they are really good about maximizing the space. They do have bathrooms available as well as a place to rinse off if you would like. They do have items to purchase for your tubing needs like rope, bungee, etc. One thing we assumed we had on our tubes were ropes, but that they did not so we struggled a little bit trying to stay together as a group. A little upselling would have been appreciated in this instance. Once you are all paid up and ready to go, they bring around one of their shuttles that pulls a trailer for your tubes. We packed tight into that little bus and off we went. Before heading out, they gave us a run down on how things operate and rules to abide by. We were given specific instructions on what to expect and landmarks to remember when it was time to get off the river to where we parked. There are different float options depending on what you're looking for as far as how chill or how much time time you want to spend on the river. We chose a float that was estimated to be 4 hours with a little bit of chill and thrill. It really all depends on the flow of the river. This review is based on the company that facilitates your float trips and not so much a review of the actual experience. This company did a great job and I would use them again if I ever decide to float the Guadalupe again.

    Came here with a large group on July 4th for a float day. Just before the chaos and tragedy of the…read moreGuadalupe River overflow. When we arrived we parked in their gravel parking lot. Their entry point process was pretty straightforward. You sign a disclaimer and pay for either the rental of the tube $25+ or pay for using your own tube from home for $25+. I think we did the 4 hour float option. If you rent you do get the option of picking a tube that has a bottom to it, which can be used for coolers, or to prevent your back from scraping on the rocks. They give you a free fishnet bag for trash that you can rope tie to your tube, or put inside your cooler. There is a mini store where you can purchase items you forgot or didn't think to bring. They have a "no glass, cans only" policy, which I think is pretty standard. When we were finally ready. You hop on their school bus with a hitch out back with the tubes piled high and get some rules to live by. Including that if you hear sirens to get out of the river immediately it means there is a surge coming. Also there is a damn drop off, and a bridge you aren't suppose to go past before getting out. Honestly, while I appreciate the safety session, I wish I had been able to read and study the rules beforehand, so I felt more confident in remembering all of them before embarking? If all the rules they say on the bus are posted on their website, it was my fault for not reviewing them before arrival. We got out at our dropoff point where you make your way down some steps with your tube in hand and get started in the river. If you bring coolers be sure to get a bottom tube and bring some rope to strap yourself to it. The water was chilly. The journey started out pretty ok. But then we go to what they call the "damn" or really a drop off point, like a 2 foot straight drop. It got kinda hairy since you have to get out of your tube and step on slick rocks with tube in hand and make your way further down the river where the current picks up even more, step down from the drop off with the current flowing. I suppose if you are use to it, it doesn't seem that challenging, but if you aren't and are with a big group, with multi coolers it's a little challenging to figure out. Make sure to bring rope for the coolers and tubes if you can. Some parts have a strong current other parts are less. Then you travel down for a while sometimes getting caught by trees, debris, the sides of the marsh, or rocks. Eventually, you get into the neighborhood area where folks are parked outside their houses or tents, playing music, watching the floaters go by. Our group got separated since we weren't all tied together. At the time, the weather was pretty dreary and it rained on and off the entire time. So it made for a cold experience. Don't forget to wear your water shoes for the rocks. If the sun had come out, it likely would have been better. I think I will find a more gentle and relaxing float experience for next time.

There were a lot of new deck hands and there is a new manager for the boat club. We have been mostly pleased with our experiences with the boats. The boat was in pretty good shape except for some upholstery issues. The motor ran great. The deck hands were very helpful. But when we came into the dock, there were a couple of other very full boats with lots of passengers that had been pulling tubes. We made the mistake of not sticking around to check and see what the gas fill up was and somehow our fill up got mixed up with one of the other 2 boats that had been pulling tubes. Soooo, we were charged the wrong fuel charge. Our gas gauge barely made it past Full but we were charged $63.46 which meant we would have had to use at least 9 gallons of gas. We might have used at most 3 gallons. After explaining this to the front office, the best they could do was offer us a 5 gallon credit on our next trip out. I'm sorry, but the new management is going to have to do better than that, especially considering they may not remember this so called credit. To any other potential boat club members, pay attention to your gas gauge and the fill ups. Don't leave until you see what it is.
