$10 - Lady Bird Lake: Sightseeing Cruise for 2, Half Off

The Deal

Explore the sights and sounds of downtown Austin aboard an electric boat with Capital Cruises, which Yahoo Travel hails as "the best way to go" when cruising around Lady Bird Lake; TripAdvisor users give the cruises a 4.5-star rating. With this exclusive Local Deal for $10, two people can take an hourlong sightseeing tour, regularly $20.

Take a seat on a 30-foot pontoon boat for the narrated tour. The captain will point out noteworthy sights around the lake such as:

• The newly constructed Austonion, the tallest skyscraper in Austin at 683 feet
• The dramatic landscape, which includes more than a thousand species of foreign vegetation that Lady Bird Johnson planted in the 1970s
• The Missouri Pacific train trestle, which is the oldest active train trestle over a body of water in the state of Texas

The boat departs every Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. Catch the fall colors on tours through October, or save it for spring when cruises resume in March. Or for $18, bring four people on the tour; that's just $4.50 a person.

Make it a group outing for $125 and opt for a two-hour private event charter aboard a 30-foot pontoon boat for up to 15 people, a savings of more than 50%. Enjoy a custom experience available any time except Friday and Saturday evenings. Bring your own food; or for an additional cost, Capital Cruises can have it catered by the Hyatt.

Travelzoo Tip: Book the two-hour private event charter for a weekday evening and watch the Austin bats take off on their nightly excursion.
