Texas’ typically mild climate means that outdoor activities never halt in the winter months. Since summers can become brutally hot, many locals opt for outdoor fun when temperatures are cooler. That’s why now is a great time to check out Waco’s River Safari Scenic Cruise on the beautiful Brazos River.

The two-hour historical cruise takes patrons on a journey filled with stories about how the Brazos River shaped Waco.

River Safari Cruise/Trip Advisor Waco is located about 80 miles south of Fort Worth, so it’s an easy drive for a beautiful outdoor adventure.

The leisurely cruise has picturesque views year-round.

Waco River Safari/Facebook Hikers will be happy to learn that Waco’s 20-mile Cameron Park trail up on the bluffs offers views of the river and limestone cliffs.

Waco River Safari/Facebook Wildlife is prevalent around the river, so bring your cameras!

A sunset dinner cruise is also available with a BYOB option.
