Lake Austin w/ Big Tom !⭐️⭐️⭐️
So much fun! Awesome guide, Big Tom, was the best ever! He knew the best swim spot with no waves and a rope swing! Beautiful weather, great dinner at Ski Shores with margaritas 😊

Christmas time
It was a great family outing! Beautiful time of the year. If you are taking this outing in the winter or cooler times. Remember, it gets cold on the water late evening.

I’ve been on yachts in the Mediterranean, submarines to the Titanic, and on Gondolas in Venice but none of these compare to riding the Austin lake with Captain Shane! The vibes, the views were unmatched. Thank you for the incredible experience. 10/10

Five Star boat tour with Shane
Our 2 person party loved this boat tour! We particularly loved the “Venice-like canal” and swimming at the more private cove they took us to. Shane was awesome, we will definitely be coming back! Perfect way to spend a hot Austin afternoon

Shane the Man
Shane was not only extremely accommodating and helpful, he went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed every minute of this beautiful experience. He was knowledgeable about so much of the area and shared it with us.
