We had an incredible two-hour boat ride on Lake Austin with Shane. Truly fantastic. The lake is beautiful—some people are saying it’s one of the most beautiful anywhere—and Shane knows every inch of it. Great captain. Very professional. Very smart. Kept everything smooth, fun, and relaxed from start to finish. The boat was excellent, the scenery was amazing, and the whole experience was first class. We saw beautiful homes, enjoyed the water, and had a tremendous time. If you’re thinking about a boat tour on Lake Austin, don’t even think twice. Go with Shane. Total winner. Five stars. Everybody should do it.
We had a great time and Big TOM is just awesome. He was very courteous, helpful and informative. The pontoon was in great condition and we would recommend to use Austin Boat adventures.
Big Tom was so nice and did a great job we are very happy and would recommend... Was better than our expectations.
Fun, informative, scenic, friendly, clean and comfortable.
thanks for the great review David. Glad you liked our Bentley pontoon boat and got to enjoy a reliable and fun day on the lake.
We went on the private boat tour with Captain Tom. I was a little afraid at first, wondering what we would be doing for an entire 2 hours as it was just me and my husband. However, Captain Tom gave us an amazing tour the entire time, engaging us with stories of the many surroundings home to Lake Austin with humor and joy. This ride was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Austin!
What a great experience! Our guide Tom added a lot of fun stories to go along with the sites we saw. Overall, had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun day on Lake Austin.
This is a must do when visiting Austin! Being out on the water was so tranquil and calming. Our guide, Tom, was amazing and gave so many great facts about the lake with funny insight. He made the tour fun while simultaneously being informative. I would definitely recommend this tour. Also, seeing all of the famous people’s homes was interesting. Great for all ages.
I hade a great experience he knows a lot about all the houses and areas even for being such a young guy I loved it. I am so glad I got to experience this ride.
