  We took the 2 hour cruise. It was a good way to get out on the lake. The tour guide was very good about pointing out any nearby birds and gave a lot of good historical info. My 5 and 10 year old both enjoyed the trip. They also loved feeding the seagulls off the back of the boat. I found the historical information interesting.

  Of course, after waiting for a few years, I finally got to go do the Vanishing Texas River Cruise. The only disappointment was in drought ridden Texas I chose the one nasty gloomy day to go. The birds were all hunkered down, we saw only one eagle way up high, and of course with the drought we couldn't go up the river as far as we would have liked. That said, the cruise was fabulous and the narrative from our guide was fascinating and held our interest. He knew the area, he knew the history, and he knew the folk lore. Perfect!! I'll go back when the lake is up and the skies are blue and clear. Highly recommend it to any wanting to know the history and lore of the county, and have a few birds thrown in for good measure.

  My hubby and I went in June..enjoyed it except when we got to Bluffton we decided to stay on the boat rather than walk a couple of miles, they told us that the guy/entertainer would play and he just sat and watched us and others and did not play his guitar or sing! Also, they told us it would be about a 20 min wait and it took about 50 min for the others to get back from Bluffton.On a positive note, the food was great and the staff were very nice!

  The cruise was relaxing, informative, interesting, and a lot of fun! The staff was extremely courteous, they are very handicapped-friendly, and they know how to make you feel at home. (I am handicapped -- they drove me down to the boat in a utility vehicle. If they had not been so considerate, the walk would have been impossible for me to make and I could not have taken the cruise.)During our visit (May, 2013), the water level was down considerably, but that didn't really matter. The boat floats on top of the water, so it doesn't matter if you're in 4 feet of water or 40. We saw plenty of scenery, and Captain Shawn skillfully navigated the waters to ensure we have a fun, safe time. The lower water level exposed the normally-submerged ghost town of Bluffton, so it was actually an advantage. I highly recommend this cruise.

  This cruise may be better when the water gets higher but the eagles leave around the first of march. There website says they are around till after spring break. I would asume to get that spring break crowd book for a cruise. Without the eagles there is absolutly nuthing to see. The water was so low during spring break we didnt get to go down river. The people are real nice but that was 2 hours of our life we just cant get back.

  The trip is not very exciting but it is relaxing. The tour guide Tim definitely has a lot of information. It is a great lesson in history. He is also good at identifying wildlife along the route. It was a nice boat ride. Would like to go again when the eagles are in residence.

  This was a nice cruise around the lake. Because of water levels, we were not able to go up the river. Even so, it was nice to just stay on the lake.

  the drive to get their was beautiful. Then when we got thier the staff for the cruise was friendly.. The lady who was telling us all about everything on the cruise was very informative. The water was not as high as it could of been so we could only go down river so i didn't get to see the waterfalls or any eagles i had seen on the broucher so looks like i am gonna have to take another trip down thier another time but it was to me a fun relaxing adventure.
