About This Tour
Come experience the beauty of Lake Austin on a private, partially guided pontoon boat cruise equipped with a foldable dual canopy for optional full sun shading! Just a short drive from Downtown, Lake Austin offers 22 miles of great sightseeing views, including waterfront and cliffside homes and popular shoreside restaurants. Unique to Lake Austin is its clear, constant-level water and intimate setting, making for the most beautiful scenery for pictures & social media-worthy photos with the iconic Pennybacker Bridge. You may even catch sight of Austin's own professional wake surfing phenoms Ashley Kidd and Raleigh Hager. Reserve the boat for up to 13 people for 2 hours & enjoy fun times on the lake. Whether you’re looking to celebrate an upcoming wedding, graduation, birthday or just want some quality family time - this is the perfect option. Included is the boat rental, a Wake Riderz boat captain and use of an Aqua Lily Pad should you decide to enjoy the water!
