Highlights

Our River Cruise is sure to be one of the most memorable times of your Waco visit as we invite you to sit back, be refreshed, and relax on our two-hour, peaceful and informative cruise experience on the Brazos River.

We start downtown at the Hotel Indigo, where we’ll meet you inside the lobby and then drive you over to our boat dock to get aboard our luxury pontoon boat. From there, we’ll depart and show you some of the beautiful sights along the river including Baylor University’s McLane Stadium, our famous ALICO Building, the historic Waco Suspension Bridge and a few more surprises along the way. Once we’ve highlighted downtown Waco, it’s time to relax as we cruise further up the Brazos to show you some of the beautiful natural scenery that paints our unique Texas landscape- including the Balcones escarpment and it’s towering limestone cliffs!

This River Cruise is the perfect complement to our Classic Tour if you want to see and experience the best of Waco. Even if you haven’t taken our Classic Tour, the River Cruise is a wonderful way to relax on the water and see parts of Waco many people miss out on.

Our crew looks forward to serving you with Waco Tours’ trademark warmth, hospitality and fun - even providing you a uniquely Wacoan treat - making this cruise an unforgettable highlight of your time in Waco!

Cruising with friends - Everything was great except we had to sit and wait for 15 minutes for people who never showed up. Jesse and Brendon were great and the Dr Pepper floats were a fun treat!

A must when visiting Waco - Jesse and Liz were wonderful hosts and lots of fun. Seeing Waco from the river gave a whole new perspective and the opportunity to see some of the local wildlife in their natural environment. A very comfortable ride and new friends made on the trip, would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Waco.

Sunset tour - We loved it! Worth every penny! So much history in Waco that we wouldn’t have known if we didn’t go on the tour. The guide and the captain were funny & full of fun surprises throughout the tour…can’t recommend them enough

Great time on the rivers of Waco, Tx. - We had a wonderful tour of the rivers in Waco, TX. Captain Jake & Mate Brennan shared a lot of historical, geographical and social information about the area. We toured on a very modern pontoon boat. It was a great experience and I recommend it for everyone.
