Great time with Travis on Lake Travis!

I took my family on this expedition and had an amazing experience! Travis was our tour guide and he was the perfect guide! He was super knowledgeable about the lake and the homes surroundings the lake; he pointed out really cool animals and other fun facts! He did a a great job of being professional and funny; he made the trip even better! I highly recommend any tourist or locals who love supporting small businesses to book a tour!

Very Nice Boat Tour

The captain had cold bottled water on board, which was very nice because we forgot to bring our own beverage. Travelers could bring a snack if that’s needed for your party. The scenery was nice. Captain Jared was friendly. Nothing to improve.

Exceeded expectations

You really couldn’t ask for more. Our boat driver was hilarious and made sure everyone got to experience anything requested. The views and music were amazing, the boat was very comfortable and if you ask him to speed up, it’s a lot of fun. I’d recommend to anyone who wants to experience Lake Travis.

Operator response

HI Chance! Thank you SO much for the review and recommendation! We're so glad you had a great experience with us!

The boat was nice, the guide was cool, and the views were incredible.

Took my dad and the family out on the lake as a little birthday treat. The boat was clean with plenty of space, the lake was beautiful, and everyone had a great time.

Great sunset cruise!

This was a well run tour! The boat was very comfortable and the group was small enough to really enjoy visiting with family members during the cruise. Our captain was Adam and he was very personable, pointing out interesting landmarks along the way. The weather cooperated as a drizzly rain all day cleared just before we sailed. Adam picked a route that offered both a stunning sunset on the way out and a full moon on the way back to the harbor. I highly recommend this tour and would book it again. It exceeded our expectations! Of note since there is no bathroom on the boat, the harbor unisex bathrooms (code access) were nice/ clean by public bathroom standards.

Hi Alexa! Thank you so much for the review! We’re so happy to hear that our tour and Captain Adam exceeded your expectations. We hope to see y’all again soon!
