5.00What an amazing experience!! My sister, her friends and I were in Waco to celebrate her birthday & looking to do something different from seeing the Silos & shopping. Decided on the river cruise due to all the positive reviews…and they were right on!! The river is beautiful & our boat Captain Danielle shared lots of interesting stories & history about Waco. Highly recommend doing it!!

5.00We learned about the pontoon cruise from a friend. After we booked, we were kept up to date with directions and updates. Communication was terrific. Our captain was Harry and he was knowledgeable and fun. See Waco from the water offered a different perspective and we were pleasantly surprised by the scenic views. It was a fun way to spend the evening and we learned some fun facts about Waco.
Scenic surprise

5.00We were in Waco for a few days and thought it would be cool to see Waco from the water. Our captain was Harry and he was knowledgeable about Waco's history and landmarks that we cruised by. We loved being on the water. He had bottled waters for anyone wanting one. The ride was more scenic than we anticipated and we were compelled to explore more parts of Waco than we had originally planned.
Wonderful tour

5.00We had a great time touring the Brazos river. We had small kids with us and our guide, Jeff, was very patient and accommodating. He even had blankets available for use since it was a bit chilly on the morning of our tour. He was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history of Waco and shared a lot of interesting stories. It was a great way to start the morning. I highly recommend.
Perfect sunset on the water.
