Your Texas-sized adventure starts with Mission Adventure Tours, where all nature enthusiasts can explore the great outdoors while having a good time. While there are scenic and historical routes available, there is no better way to appreciate this great city than paddling around in kayaks, biking with traditional and electric bicycles, and walking along the RiverWalk and downtown streets on foot, on and off the beaten path.

Drive out to Son's Island, a gorgeous, tropical-inspired, three-and-a-half acre island with open-air lakeside Hawaiian cabanas, where you can kayak, paddleboard, swim and wade, fish, barbecue, water slide, and play beach volleyball. Your breathtaking entry includes a drive across a wooden bridge surrounding you with large cypress and pecan trees outlining the perimeter of 4,000 feet of lakefront property. Son’s Island also offers glamping, where you can spend a night under the stars in a luxurious tent furnished with two queen-sized beds, fans, and lanterns.

Rooted in its rich history, the historic Menger Hotel reigns as the oldest operating hotel, where hospitality and history come to life. Step into the beautiful Victorian lobby and be transported back to when Theodore Roosevelt gathered his Rough Riders at the Menger Bar. Menger Hotel hosted generations of guests who delight in its architectural grandeur, glamorous public spaces, and thoughtful modern-day services and amenities. As you stroll through the Spanish courtyard garden, you will feel at peace as you surround yourself with palm trees, azaleas, and a three-tiered fountain.
