Lone Star Riverboat
(between the Congress and South First Street Bridges)
About
Take a tour down the Colorado River (known as Town Lake in the Austin city limits) on a paddlewheel boat. This Southern style of transportation is a perfect way to take in the city's skyline. Trips are 90 minutes long and do not require reservations. Call ahead to determine the seasonal schedule. During the summer moonlight cruises are offered, as well as close-up cruises of the bats underneath Congress bridge.
