What makes Per Person Shared Boat Cruise thru Lake Austin Lights a unique experience ?

While sipping on complementary Hot Cocoa, we will enjoy a short slow boat cruise through Bull Creek and the Tom Miller Damn while we journey to the infamous Mozarts Holiday Light Show.

This quiet tributary is a hidden natural oasis, offering a peaceful detour from the main lake. The lush vegetation along its banks creates a serene habitat for wildlife, while the meandering creek reveals charming nooks and secluded docks. It's an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts to catch glimpses of herons, turtles, and other native creatures in their undisturbed environment.

This historical dam, completed in 1940, forms Lake Austin and plays a critical role in flood control, power generation, and recreation. Its art deco architecture and impressive structure harness the mighty Colorado River, taming it to provide a steady water supply while creating a serene lake. The dam is an engineering marvel that helps maintain the water level and makes Lake Austin a haven for boating enthusiasts.

Combining Tex-Mex cuisine with Polynesian flair, Hula Hut creates an exciting tropical escape on the lakeshore. The thatched-roof décor, bamboo accents, and tiki torches transport diners to a faraway island, while the menu offers a delicious fusion of flavors. The large deck overlooks the water, offering sweeping views of Lake Austin and a front-row seat to boaters and kayakers passing by

We will pull up to and stop to watch the amazing Mozarts Holiday Light Show via boat. No guests are allowed to leave the boat until the end of the tour. Once we arrive you can order hot Mozarts snacks and food. Hot Cocoa and water bottles are already included.
