New Braunfels, TX

The city was named after a German prince and its roots are still very evident today, as many of the street signs bear German names. You can visit a beer garden, partake in the popular Wurstfest, and check out Gruene Hall—the oldest dance hall in Texas. Because this is Texas Hill Country, breweries and wineries abound in New Braunfels. Both craft beer and local wines are huge regional industries. New Braunfels is also about outdoor experiences. Comal River and the Guadalupe River offer visitors chances to experience some exhilarating whitewater rafting, world class fishing, swimming, and boating. While several parks provide plenty of scenic opportunities throughout the city.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
