From the team that created Lake Travis Zipline Adventures (LTZA), which is known for the longest zipline in Texas, comes Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures (LTWA) – “The Ultimate Lake Experience!” This amazing outdoor experience opened its doors at the end of June. It offers families a unique water and wilderness-themed getaway here in the Texas Hill Country. With a floating obstacle course and water park, access to a private resort-style beach, and a boat ride to and from Adventure Island, this Volente-based business has your summer family fun sewn up!

The “Floating Challenge Course” is a series of water-trials for everyone from beginners to experts. This 600-foot water playground offers a wide variety of obstacles which are both challenging and fun. This includes monkey bars, climbing walls, slides, bridges, hurdles, balance beams, and so much more. Guests to this amazing floating feature must be seven years of age and at least 45-inches tall. Tickets are $50 per excursion, which includes unlimited access to the Aqua Park, where they can enjoy a 14-foot-tall climbing tower, a springboard jumping tower, a free-fall waterslide, and an epic 25-foot trampoline. All this, plus a 45-minute pulse-pounding session on the obstacle course are waiting! Those who don’t feel challenged enough by this exhilarating course on their first go-round can purchase a second session for an additional $10. Plus, Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures is now offering “Sunday Fundays” specials where parents get in for half price with each full-price child entry!

As exciting as this all sounds, “The Ultimate Lake Experience” wouldn’t be complete without some rest and relaxation. Adults making the trip with their families can relax on a hammock or lounge chair in the shade, enjoying the spectacular views of Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country. If hunger is an issue, Adventure Island has that covered as well, with a variety of food and beverage options, including wine, beer, and those tasty frozen drinks that make a Texas summer something we all love.

This new floating water park feature is fantastic in itself. However, the possibility of whiling away a day on 1,000 feet of Hill Country lakefront, soaking up the sun, and taking in the incredible scenery is really the opportunity of a lifetime. A visit to Adventure Island is the equivalent of an exotic vacation, and it’s right here in our own backyard! Filled with the type of activities our kids and grandkids will enjoy, in a dreamy location that we normally only get to read about, Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures is an epic summer experience. It ties in nicely with the opportunity to fly through the trees and across Lake Travis, with the greatest of ease on ziplines that range from 300 to more than 2K feet in length. Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures definitely has the makings of a vacation your kids will be telling their friends about!
