    Captain Ron's Swamp Tours image
    Great tour of the very amazing Caddo Lake. Captain Ron is both entertaining and knowledgeable. We sure feel like we got our money’s worth with the tour and we intend to come back in the summer to see the lake when the foliage is in full bloom. See more..
  2. 5.0 Sail with Scott (1.034 reviews)
    - Majestic Mother’s Day
    Monday: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM Boat Tours
    Sail with Scott image
    What a beautiful evening to remember. A Starlight cruise With Captain Amy and Jackson. She certainly knows her business, and Jackson was equally as personable and helpful as she was. The lights From The Harbor were glistening on the water as she told us a story of the “Seawolf”… The experience of having a woman Captain was quite different than The storybook tale of a Grumpy Ole Pirate. My granddaughter just loved Captain Amy, and the chance to help steer. She called her the Pretty Pirate. Everything was perfectly timed, and was it very enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend the sunset or starlight Cruise on the “Seawolf” to anyone. See more..

    - A Magical Experience for our Whole Family!

    Sail Austin Charters - Private Tours image
    Captain Tim treated us to a truly magnificent experience!! He was a fantastic captain with a beautiful boat and he made us feel safe and at home from the moment we stepped on board. He took us all around Lake Travis, told us stories and taught us about the boat, answered the many questions from our kids, and even let both of them steer the boat. And he took a bunch of pictures of all of us on top of that. We saw a beautiful sunset from the boat and then Captain Tim navigated us a bit further out so we could see the sun go behind the hill again. All four of us thought it was the highlight of our trip and we'd love to come back. Thanks so much, Captain Tim! See more..
  4. 4.5 DFW Boat Ride (130 reviews)

    DFW Boat Ride image
    This was the highlight of our visit. Birthday celebration for my 38 year old son. Relaxing, watching the sun set with fun music playing. We did the sunset cruise for 1 1/2 hours then have dinner at one of the nice restaurants walking distance from the dock. Just a 30 minute drive from Dallas. Well worth it. See more..
  5. 4.0 Vanishing Texas Cruises (115 reviews)
    - Easy and Relaxing

    Vanishing Texas Cruises image
    The Vanishing Texas River Cruise is a very relaxing and peaceful attraction. The Texas Hill Country is really beautiful . Going down the Colorado River you see rugged cliffs , waterfalls, and wild animals. The drive up to the start of the cruise is a very hilly , curvy, road that has the feel of Colorado . We enjoyed it very much. See more..

    Southern Empress Cruises image
    I had read reviews and was prepared. The ship does need a major overhaul and I hadn't thought about all the stairs for my friend. It was difficult to be outside with the bugs that were flying around but we found a dark place away from the lights and avoided them. The owners were very nice and took good care of us. The food was good and plenty of it. We had chicken with mashed potatoes and corn and bread pudding dessert. The parking area wasn't large but many people had taken a taxi and avoided any hassle. It was a very nice evening and I hope the new owners will keep this lovely ship afloat! See more..
  7. 4.5 Striper Express Guide Service (74 reviews)
    - Great 2 Day Fishing Trip

    Striper Express Guide Service image
    Came in for a 2 day fishing trip. Even though the weather was very cold and very windy on the first day, we caught a lot of fish and on the second day we limited out. Cap’n Tim was great. We cannot say enough good things about Bill Carey and Striper Express. If you are coming to Texhoma, you should call them. See more..

    Son's Island image
    We rented a daytime cabana from 10:30-6:30 for 5 adults, 1 teen, and 1 child. There was plenty of room! We rented cabana C6 because it was the first one, meaning we only had neighbors on one side. It was really private, close to the parking lot, and close to some porta potties. We also rented an iFloat, a paddleboard, and a kayak for the day. We brought our own floats too. Next time I think we might try to get one of the cabanas that are over the water. We brought a cooler full of drinks, some match light charcoal, and cooked hotdogs for lunch. Overall, it was a fun day trip!They offer tents if you want to camp on site, but we wanted to stay in a hotel with AC!! See more..
  9. 4.5 Turning Basin Riverboat Tours (66 reviews)
    - A peaceful boat ride down a bayou - very scenic
    Boat Tours
    Turning Basin Riverboat Tours image
    Located near town center and easy to find, we thoroughly enjoyed this boat ride down the Big Cyprus Bayou. The tour guide is a retired Federal Game Warden who has worked in Parks from the Mexican border to the Canadian border. But he grew up right around this East Texas bayou, and he looks and sounds like he just emerged from these deep piney woods. Don’t expect excitement but do expect some beautiful scenery and local lure. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience (suitable for little kids and old people with bad knees like me). See more..

    Caddo Lake Bayou Tours image
    This was my very first trip to Caddo Lake! It was an awesome experience and nothing that I had ever seen before. Rich uses a pontoon boat which was very comfortable, and we were able to move around to take pictures. He gave us the history on how this particular lake was formed and some of its struggles through the years. I am thankful for those who have worked to keep it so natural. Our next tour will be in the Fall, and we are looking forward to it. I would recommend this tour & Rich. See more..

    Riverside Dreamer River Tour image
    Enjoyable trip on the Rio Grande River. We watched while sections of a wall was quickly being erected. We learned this was a private wall that was being completed at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time compared to the federally ordered wall. Very interesting. See more..

    Ole Jigger Caddo Lake Adventures image
    Over the course of two separate tours, we spent 5 comfortable hours exploring Caddo Lake with Mike as our guide. It was our first visit to Caddo, and we knew very little of the history or what to expect. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and a great story-teller! He also has an amazing ability to notice wildlife and point them out...we saw owls, osprey, heron, woodpeckers, and a gator that we would have missed without his help. Because of Mike’s expertise, we fell in love with Caddo Lake and hope to be back in other seasons so He can show us more of its beauty. See more..

    - Great experience with customer service

    Liquid Thrillz Boat Rentals image
    We’ve always had great customer service and experiences renting from Liquid Thrillz. One time they even upgraded our pontoon to a ski boat as the boat we were supposed to get broke down (all other boats were rented out). Though we initially noticed the extra charge on credit card, after speaking to them they promptly corrected the fee. A great alternative to paying boat slip fees (until our # comes up and we purchase a boat). See more..

    Big Cypress Tours image
    I planned a special weekend to celebrate my dad's 87th birthday. We had 4 generations gathered and contacted Mike for a tour of the lake that would accommodate and be of interest to everybody from 87 to 5 years old. Mike delivered. He was very flexible, not only with his schedule, but also with what we wanted to see on the tour. Mike's familiarity with the Lake and its history is impressive. His boat is comfortable and his warm personality added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Big Cypress Tours, you won't be disappointed. See more..

    3 Amigos Boat Rental image
    3 Amigos Boat Rental was by far the best boat rental that we have rented on Lake Travis! All captains are helpful and ready to assist you. They gracefully help you load and unload from their boats. Our boat captain was Lawrence and he was professional and very aware of everything that was going on. He made my family, and I feel safe throughout our entire boat trip. We had an AMAZING time, and we are looking forward to booking with them again! See more..

    Wild Adventure Outfitters image
    This was the second trip week-long we did with Matthew (and now Cassidy) as our guides. This was a relatively easy trip in canoes through the 75-mile stretch of the Rio Grande known as The Great Unknown in February. Matthew and Cassidy's experience and knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. We made a couple hikes which included an impromptu lesson on the geology of this unique landscape, a visit to the "Hermit's Cave" in Mariscal Canyon, as well as hikes up to ridges where the 360 degree views were breathtaking. Wild Adventure Outfitters is somewhat of a boutique company that strives to create a customized experience unique to each customer. It's very different than the large river runner establishments that count of drive-up tourists for business. Highly recommended for anyone / group looking for a more personal, unique paddling experience. See more..

    We went on a two hour tour this week and were very impressed with Howard's knowledge of the lake, the area's wildlife and local history. The boat was comfortable and Howard was even agreeable to our request to bring our dog along. This was an excellent experience and we highly recommend Big Dreamer Tours/Guide Services! See more..

    Jayhawkers Canoe Trails image
    My wife and I canoed Section 2 of Village Creek. This is the shortest of the four sections Eastex offers. My wife is not very comfortable on the water and quite afraid of a number of wild critters. We both enjoyed the trip thoroughly. The creek was calm with many sand bars on this section -- some with a little shade, which we took advantage of to enjoy the lunch we packed. Since we went during the week, we had the creek to ourselves. We heard thunder in the distance from afternoon scattered storms, but we didn't get rained on. All-in-all, a great time. See more..

    Wes did a wonderful job with our group. He was recommended by some locals at one of Caddo's restaurants, and he did not disappoint. It was a very comprehensive tour, and you certainly get your money's worth- an interesting (but not boring) overview of the history and geography/biology of the lake. See more..

    I've gone on some great lake cruises with Captain Scott! He's silly and friendly, and yet completely professional. The amenities are great: so comfortable! We all learned a lot, and always had a great time! (Even on dreary days, like the pictures I found. Lol!) Can't wait to get out on the water with you again, Captain Scott! Highly recommend!

    Mossy Brake Camp Swamp Tours image
    Our first time visiting Caddo Lake and i happened to find Patrick for a tour and I am so happy I did. He was knowledgeable about the area and had a one of a kind flat bottom boat that could take us places a pontoon would not have. We loaded up from Patrick's own home which was a wonderful place and plenty of parking. He was accommodating and open to any request. We had a great time! See more..

    Captain Martys Lake Texoma Fishing Guides image
    We fished two days with Marty this week and couldn't be more pleased. As agreed, he picked us up on his dock at 6:30AM each day, after he'd been out catching bait since 4AM. He put us over the stripers in short order and we had an action packed two hours of fishing both days before going in with our limit. Marty is very personable and provides an exceptionally fun experience. My wife, son, and I look forward to the day that we can climb aboard his boat again for another striper fishing experience.

    - Best fishing trip ever
    Monday: 6:00 AM - 7:00 PM Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
    BigCrappie.com Fishing Guide Service image
    Best fishing trip ever. Picked up at our dock by Dakota who was AMAZING. We caught about 80 fish and kept about 65 including 3 hybrids where were so fun to reel in. Our six year old had the time of his life. Fished a few hours, then Dakota came back to our dock and cleaned them all. This company knows what they are doing. I would LOVE to do this again. We are sore from catching so many huge fish! Look at their website for pictures--our table was overflowing! See more..
