What to expect
A 35-minute narrated boat cruise on the San Antonio River Walk, from the Convention Center to the Pearl, past the Alamo, the La Villita arts district and the Old Mill Crossing. The standard orientation to the city.
A 4 km river cruise through downtown, past the Alamo and the Pearl Departures run from Texas, and the whole experience takes about 35 min — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Texas itinerary.
