Catch a ride on this guided river cruise along San Antonio’s historic River Walk! Enjoy stunning views and learn how the River Walk shaped the city's history.
San Antonio Guided Riverwalk Cruise
Step aboard an eco-friendly electric boat, at the time of your choosing, and set sail down the San Antonio River for a colorful tour of the city's historic River Walk. You can hop on the brightly colored boats at any of the specified stations along the river walk to begin your cruise.
The San Antonio River Walk has a fascinating story to share with visitors. Originally built as a means for flood control, the area has turned into a bustling hub of culture, making San Antonio a one-of-a-kind city.
Leaving from La Villita, the city's first official neighborhood, you'll float down the river passing historic sites like the Old Mill Crossing, where President Teddy Roosevelt led his Rough Riders through the streets.
Continuing on, we'll sail under Selena's Bridge, named after the famed Tejano singer who made a big impact on San Antonio. Then, we'll float by the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Did you know it was built at a specific height so it wouldn't shadow the Alamo at sunset?
We'll also pass by the Briscoe Western Art Museum, an institution that plays a pivotal role in preserving the cultural history of the American West. Then, after a delightful 35 minutes of cruising through the Alamo City, we'll bring the experience to an end.
How Does it Work?
The guided river cruise runs daily from 10 am to 10 pm, with boats departing approximately every 15-20 minutes. Even if you purchase tickets for a specific day, they aren't location, date, or time specific, so you can hop on whenever you want at any of the following 3 stops:
- Market St. Bridge
- Rivercenter
- Aztec Theater
