Anytime you're doing downtown things you'll normally have to pay for parking. We opted for the nearest parking, which was the Hyatt Regency lot that is the suggested and closest one described on the tour website. From there it's a short walk to the dock to board through the hotel lobby and bar area. The captain was great and funny. The whole tour lasted about an hour and we got a view of the bats leaving the fridge from below and an informative tour while waiting. The price is reasonable for the experience and it's a cool sight for tourists. I'd definitely recommend it!

From Brandon, to Captain John, to staff and crew - everyone was amazing to work with. The day of the event was perfect and seamless. I could not have asked for anything to have been different. Everyone had a great time and raved about the day. We ordered food through them and it was delicious and high quality. We had a professional chef as a party attendant on the boat and he gave high marks. Some with dietary restrictions were impressed with options and accommodations - all that of that was coordinated through Lake Austin Riverboats - everything was perfect. The crew was amazing and so welcoming to the guests and truly contributed to the experience. Book your event - you will not be disappointed.

I was invited to an event at Quince, which included a boat ride with Austin Riverboat. The…read morerestaurant's staff was outstanding--welcoming, friendly, and highly professional. That level of service carried over to most of the staff on the boat, making the experience even more enjoyable. During the event, I was introduced to Paul, who was seated with a group of friends. He was introduced to me as the boat owner and came across as relaxed and not at all pushy--qualities I appreciate when considering a business, especially since part of my motivation for attending was to explore options for my birthday celebration. Unfortunately, Paul's friends left a negative impression. A couple of them outright refused to acknowledge me, turning away when a gentleman attempted to introduce me. Others made inappropriate jokes about my accent in a condescending and offensive manner. One individual even made vulgar comments, implying that Paul should get my phone number to discuss event planning details later, which was completely unprofessional and inappropriate. While the event itself was enjoyable, the boat ride interesting, the behavior of those around the boat owner and the fact that the boat owner never replied to my text message trying to discuss my event, was disappointing and detracted from my overall experience. This experience left me with a negative impression of the boat's management, and I strongly feel that they are not welcoming to immigrants. The group consisted of older white men whose behavior was filled with prejudice and hostility. And for that reason I felt compelled to post a review discouraging people like me- and those against this type of behavior - to stay away and make better choices. We can use our money to invest in a much better experience elsewhere I left the boat traumatized and truly disgusted by those old men behaviors. Do better!

The best way to experience Lake Austin!…read more The experience feels genuinely local and not commercial or touristy. Michael and Kaleigh are so fun and laid-back, with seemingly endless Austin facts, stories, and knowledge. And of course, watching the sunset beneath the 360 Bridge was absolute perfection. What makes this stand out is how authentic and intimate everything feels. The vintage houseboat has been touring up and down the lake for decades, and you can feel that legacy. Perfect for anyone wanting to experience Lake Austin like a local instead of a tourist. Highly recommended rallying your crew and booking an afternoon!
