Would Recommend!!!
We had a really good experience with this tour along with them partnering with Live, Love, Paddle. All of the guides were super friendly and informative and let you go at your own pace for the kayaking but made sure you were keeping up. We had a really good time and found that it was worth the money.

Superb outing with Austin boat tour.
First Captain Mike Flynn was awesome, he knew exactly what we wanted to see and do on this boat cruise. Plenty of great pictures that he snapped for us, btw they came out great. The sunset was a sight to see, WOW! My wife and I have raved about this cruise the whole way home. Thanks again Cpt. Mike F.. for an awesome time. I hope you enjoy and have great success.

Great time with Travis on Lake Travis!
I took my family on this expedition and had an amazing experience! Travis was our tour guide and he was the perfect guide! He was super knowledgeable about the lake and the homes surroundings the lake; he pointed out really cool animals and other fun facts! He did a a great job of being professional and funny; he made the trip even better! I highly recommend any tourist or locals who love supporting small businesses to book a tour!

Lovely Experience!
Wonderful experience with Spencer. The boat was clean, spacious and comfortable. He shared lots of interesting and funny information about the area, the lake and the beautiful homes. The sunset was stunning, a lovely way to spend an evening. I highly recommend this tour.

Book the cruise!
My aunt and uncle were visiting Austin for the first time, and we found Austin Boat Adventure online as a fun way to show them the city. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Shane, our captain, was fantastic. He took us on a stunning cruise along Lake Austin, complete with a stop at Hula Hut for drinks and a quick break.
Shane shared great insights about the lakefront neighborhoods and gave us an unforgettable sunset ride. The music was perfect, the vibes were great, and the whole experience was a 10/10.
Highly recommend — thank you, Shane!

Wonderful way to spend the twilight hour
It is a little confusing initially as there are no signs to direct you to meet the craft.
Be patient, they be there and find you.
The ride is smooth and offers amazing views of the 360 Bridge and all along this part of the river. We also discovered a little Venice on the ride too.
Captain was respectful and receptive, happy to offer some info but never invasive.
Highly recommend to all. Perfect way to spend an Autumn evening in ATX.

October bats & skyline
Beautiful evening to go kayaking and experience the bat flight. Ethan did a great job sharing information about the bats, Austin skyline, and Lady Bird Lake. Austin info was interesting since we were visiting from out of state and this was our only evening in town.
As for the bats, wow! We are at the end of season and were warned there may not be as many bats since they are starting to migrate. Afterwards we were told that it was a very large (almost full) group that flew out. Upwards to 1.5 million bats is hard to comprehend! It was spectacular and skin crawling at the same time! I was definitely happier to be on the water towards the back of our group rather than closer to being under the bridge or standing on the bridge where the bats fly past. The only negative was not being able to hear Ethan’s comments leading up to the fly out. I was able to listen to another tour guide closer to me.
Kayaking back afterwards beneath the skyline lights and a beautiful night sky was fantastic and not nearly long enough! Beautiful way to end the evening.

Pleased Customers
Though it's listed as a "Pontoon" Lake ride, it was actually VERY exciting!! Our captain handled the wakes like a pro. Renaldo was amazing. Very personable, funny and extremely considerate. I will say that after we booked, we found the same tour for 50.00 cheaper/ person. In the end, I have no regrets. This was our first time visiting Texas. Looking forward to doing this again.
