This profile was built from public records (Tier B on two independent sources, both opened in Claude in Chrome and checked as rendered body text on 2026-10-22. First source, carried as the source_url: the Bandera County Convention and Visitors Bureau listing at banderacowboycapital.com, 1993 characters rendered, which carries the business's own first-person copy and names the Medina River twice in prose, saying it has everything you need for a great day on the Medina River and asking customers to help keep the Medina River clean by bringing no glass bottles and no Styrofoam ice chests. The same copy states the address and telephone in the business's own voice, telling the reader to visit us at 1114 Main Street in Bandera or call the number, and it names the tube and kayak rental, the shuttle service, the ice and water kept on site and the adjacent Chicken Charlie's BBQ. Note that this page also carries the Visitors Bureau's own separate address and telephone in its footer, 126 State Highway 16 S. and a different number, and neither of those was used. Second, independent source: the Texas Rivers Protection Association's Medina River page at txrivers.org/discover-texas-rivers/medina-river/, 12148 characters rendered, reached by following a redirect from txrivers.org/?p=1392 and cited here at its final URL. It names the business, the same 1114 Main Street address and the same telephone number in one sentence, records that there is no canoe rental available in Bandera County and that kayaks, tubes and shuttles can be rented from this company, and separately sets out the public runs and their mileages, the mandatory portage at Mayan Ranch Road and the warning never to run the dam at the City Park takeout. The two sources agree on name, telephone number, street address, town and the Medina River tie. No company domain of its own was found in research, so the website field is deliberately empty and no domain is asserted. Trip length is not published by either source; Half-Day Float is carried on the strength of the business's own phrase offering a relaxing float or an afternoon of adventure, and nothing longer is claimed. No species are carried: this is a tube and kayak livery, not a fishing operation. No founding year, staff count or fleet size appears on either page, so none is asserted.), last verified 2026-10-22T21:05Z. It was not provided by this business and does not mean the business endorses GuidedFloats. Bookings open once the guide claims it.
The float is on the Medina River as it runs through Bandera in the Texas Hill Country, and the outfit supplies the craft and moves the vehicles rather than putting a guide in the boat with you. Tubes and kayaks both go out, and the shuttle covers the business of getting back to where you parked. The reach itself is well documented by the association that maps this river: the public runs drop from Ranger Crossing at Highway 16 to the County Road 470 bridge, from that bridge down about five and a quarter miles to the dam at Bandera City Park, and from the dam a further twelve and a half miles or so to English Crossing. A portage at Mayan Ranch Road is mandatory on that middle run, and the standing instruction on the water is never to run the dam at the City Park takeout. Glass bottles and Styrofoam ice chests are not allowed on the river.
