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.
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.
⸻ Our boat trip on Lake Austin with Tom was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, he made the experience fun, relaxing, and unforgettable. Tom is knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. He showed us beautiful spots on the lake, shared great stories, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. If you’re looking for the perfect Lake Austin boat experience, Tom is the best—highly recommend!
Fantastic tour. Showed all attractions. Tom is great guy will come and probably want to ride with him again. Fantastic boat as well and good one to ride
My experience with Tom was fantastic! The Lake Austin boat tour was refreshing; it had beautiful sights to see, wonderful weather, and the feeling of calmness that lingers after you leave. It was an unforgettable experience!
The ride was amazing and very friendly .love to do again in the future.it was 2 hours ride.the view was beautiful .it was fun to talk with Tom
It was a nice calm experience with captain tom who showed us a lot of nice attractions. Especially at sunset time to get the best view.
Tom went above and beyond as our captain! We had such a lovely sunset cruise around Lake Austin, and he showed us some beautiful places tucked away that I never knew existed! His knowledge of the Lake from having been born and raised here makes him an excellent tour guide! If I could give a 6th star I would! Thank you, Tom, for making our evening truly memorable!
Tom was awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the Lake and the area. We had a great time and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get out on the water and take in some beautiful landscapes and scenery.
This was a wonderful tour with Captain Tom. He was engaging and personable and played perfect chillin on a lake music. He had good stories to tell about the sights along the way. Definitely a top experience!!!
Boats are cool, water is cool, Austin’s cool, Tom is cool Would be interested in going again(but maybe the other way so I’m not touring the same area twice)
Great experience. We have lived here for ten years and had no idea how many beautiful places there were tom knew his stuff and made it a perfect evening
It was great! Tom was a great guide, definitely knew his stuff! it was a very enjoyable time, not too long and not too short!
Amazing experience, super professional, came with everything we needed. The driver was super fun and we felt safe the entire time
Great scenery and very calm, chill ride. Capt was very knowledgeable about the beautiful properties on the River, and we didn’t have to worry about bats!
Nice tour, would like more information along the way. Need more details about location. Thought we were going to see bats under the bridge.
What a wonderful time. Shane made the experience so special!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Also made time to make my birthday feel special!!
Loved the relax vibe during our outing. Shane was very sweet and helpful with tour of the water. The music was great. The boat was very clean and spacious.
Beautiful, relaxing tour. Well worth the time and money! I'll do this again the next time I'm in Austin. Captain Shane is great.
Had a wonderful experience exploring the peaceful side of Austin under beautiful sunlit skies. Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the scenery. Great captain—professional and welcoming!
Fantastic experience. I loved it will def come back and do it again. Shane was a great captain and very pleasant. I was there with my wife and we enjoyed the experience.
Captain Shane was absolutely spectacular — professional, personable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made sure my friends and I felt comfortable and had a fun time from start to finish. The ride was smooth, the views were amazing, and his timing was perfect! Captain Shane shared fun stories and local insights throughout the cruise, even pointed out some hidden gems we had no clue were out there! The music and the breeze at golden hour made for an experience straight out of a postcard! If you’re looking to spend a memorable evening on the water — I highly recommend you hop on board with your favorite people! This cruise was by far the highlight of our trip!
Took our parents to see the Colorado river. The captain was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Entrance fee is $5 per person cash.
Had a great boat ride with Shane!! Well worth the price! If you love the water, this is for you! We learned about Austin’s history and even stopped along the way to grab food and drinks. I was solo and thoroughly enjoyed myself with the others present.
It was an amazing experience! I thought it would just be about enjoying drinks by the lake, but Shane went above and beyond — he shared stories about the houses around the lake, who lives there, how much they cost, and even took us to some really secret spots. It’s definitely one of my top experiences in Austin, and every member of my family loved it!
Best day ever! Third time with Captain Tom and he never fails to show us the best time!!! Safe, courteous, funny… Book it!

Very enjoyable, relaxing ride. Shane was friendly and approachable. Opportunity to go inside water alleys and stop at the restaurants were a nice surprise
This was the best ever! So cozy and beautiful views 🥰 Shane was awesome and told us so much about the places we got to see! I totally reccomend ❤️
Beautiful Sunset and amazing Captain. Watching the sun set over the lake with my wife and stopping at Mozarts for coffee on a beautiful September evening. Shane was great!
Great time!! Beautiful boat in perfect condition and awesome captain. Can’t wait to go back again. #lakeaustin #greatmemories
