What To Expect

Mount Bonnell

Known as one of Austin’s highest points, Mount Bonnell towers over Lake Austin, offering expansive views of the city and surrounding areas. Climbing the historic stone steps to the top reveals a sweeping vista that encompasses the downtown skyline, winding Colorado River, and lush Hill Country. It's a celebrated spot for locals and tourists alike to catch a stunning sunset or simply marvel at the city's natural beauty.

Austin Country Club

Founded in 1899, the Austin Country Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in Texas. Its meticulously maintained fairways and greens sit against a scenic lakeside backdrop. As we cruise by, marvel at the sophisticated clubhouse and the lush, championship golf course, which formerly hosted the PGA Tour's Dell Technologies Match Play each spring, attracting the world's top golfers

Pennybacker Bridge

This architectural marvel, also known as the 360 Bridge, elegantly stretches over Lake Austin with its unique, rust-colored steel arch design. As you pass beneath, notice how it harmoniously blends with the rugged Texas landscape. This bridge is not only an engineering achievement but also a beloved symbol of Austin, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and Hill Country from its vantage point above

The trip on the lake was great. We went through what is known locally as Little Italy.the views of the wealthy homes was a good addition to the trip. Photo opportunity at sunset was amazing especially with the bridge in the background.the only disappointment was we were not told we had to pay additional fees to enter the park . The tour guide was hard to spot and only arrived just at pick up time and was meant to contact to confirm but no contact was made

We enjoyed the boat ride. It was a pleasant experience. Our captain, Will R., shared trivia with us about some of the surrounding areas. Because of unfortunate cloudy weather conditions we could not catch the sunset, but it was well compensated by our overall experience of the boat ride. Thank you.
