Hula Hut (Pass by)
As we depart, you’ll cruise past Hula Hut, one of Austin’s most famous lakeside restaurants, known for its vibrant Tiki-style decor and lively atmosphere. This place is just a 2 minute walk from Walsh boat landing.
Mount Bonnell (Pass by)
Known as one of Austin’s highest points, Mount Bonnell towers over Lake Austin, offering expansive views of the city and surrounding areas. Climbing the historic stone steps to the top reveals a sweeping vista that encompasses the city centre skyline, winding Colorado River, and lush Hill Country. It's a celebrated spot for locals and tourists alike to catch a stunning sunset or simply marvel at the city's natural beauty.
The Holdsworth Center (Pass by)
Devoted to educational leadership development, The Holdsworth Center's serene, 44-acre lakeside campus fosters growth and inspiration for educators.

Founded in 1899, the Austin Country Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in Texas. Its meticulously maintained fairways and greens sit against a scenic lakeside backdrop. As we cruise by, marvel at the sophisticated clubhouse and the lush, championship golf course, which formerly hosted the PGA Tour's Dell Technologies Match Play each spring, attracting the world's top golfers
Bull Creek (Pass by)
Flowing through the limestone hills of Austin, Bull Creek is renowned for its clear waters and cascading waterfalls. As you approach its mouth, you'll notice the rich biodiversity and limestone formations that give this waterway its distinctive character. Its shores are dotted with swimming holes, hiking trails, and secluded spots that reveal the unspoiled beauty of Texas Hill Country and offer a taste of wilderness just minutes from city centre Austin.

This architectural marvel, also known as the 360 Bridge, elegantly stretches over Lake Austin with its unique, rust-colored steel arch design.
