| By now you’ve seen Sixth Street, maybe played a bit on SoCo, SoLa, or the Warehouse District. Join us now for a completely different view of Austin – from the deck of the "Commodore," a 220-passenger, paddlewheel boat. Charter coaches will take us to the shore of Lake Austin, where we’ll board Commodore to begin our tour. Lake Austin, one of the 20 highland lakes of the Texas Hill Country, stretches 20 miles from Tom Miller Dam in Austin to Mansfield Dam at Lake Travis. Indulge in the Mexican fajita buffet and enjoy a cool beverage while we cruise past limestone cliffs, gawk at lakeside mansions and see Austin from a most unique perspective. We will return to the Driskill in time for you to continue your exploration of our downtown district. For more info on Lake Austin Riverboats: http://www.austinriverboats.com/ |
