Captained 45-minute holiday cruises on Lake Austin through two 80-foot Tunnels of Lights, with festive music and unlimited hot cocoa.
Lake Austin Lights Holiday Boat Cruises kick off at Hula Hut on Saturday, November 21, and run daily through Sunday, January 3. They take a break on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, and Christmas Day, December 25, so keep that in mind if you're planning around the holidays. The first boat leaves at 6 PM, and the latest planned departure is 11 PM.
Each cruise is a captained trip of about 45 minutes on Lake Austin. You'll sail through two 80-foot floating Tunnels of Lights and past illuminated holiday displays, with festive music and unlimited hot cocoa on board. Every passenger, including infants, needs a reservation.
The cruises start and end at Hula Hut, which has been a tropical fixture on the shores of Lake Austin since June 1993. It's decked out with tiki torches, bamboo walls, grass-thatched bars, and thousands of colored lights, with a soundtrack that ranges from traditional Hawaiian to surf rock. The menu includes Coconut Fried Shrimp, Pu Pu Platters, the South Bay Caesar Salad, and Hawaiian Fajitas.
