Boat Ride
Rio San Antonio Cruises Description
The colorful little boats that cruise up and down the perfectly manicured San Antonio River are cute -- so cute, in fact, that kids will think they're on a theme-park ride. Such kid-friendliness is the perfect launch for a historic tour of the city. Thirty-five minute cruises travel a 2.5-mile stretch, leisurely passing landmarks while narrators inject their personal spin (some are hilarious). The water way, with its lovely arched stone bridges and flowing greenery, completes the theme-park effect -- but without the flume drop at the end.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: The combination of cute boats and funny guides make this one of the rare historical tours kids will really get into.
Planning Notes
- Taxi! To get the experience without the 35-minute ride, pick up one of the company's water taxis. They can be picked up at any one of its nine stops. Purchase tickets by the ride, for the day, or for three days.
