1.Boat Shuttle to Ski Shores – Scenic Water Taxi Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · from $48Our pick

Ride with Austin Rental Boats from Loop 360 Boat Ramp to Ski Shores Cafe in about 20 to 25 minutes. Captain Paul Schwenk has earned praise for helping families and passengers with mobility needs. Spend about two hours at the cafe, then return on the hourly shuttle.

“Had an incredible time, loved seeing some of the lake houses before heading to the cafe for food and drinks. Captain was great, would definitely book again when we have family or friends visiting. Vastly cheaper than renting a boat for the day if there are only a few of you!”
