Visitor Information

With a fleet of eco-friendly electric river boats in vibrant colors inspired by Mexican folk art, GO RIO offers an unforgettable experience of the San Antonio River Walk that reflects the sights, wonders, and culture of a unique American city.

Guests can take narrated or specialty river cruises, chartered excursions or catch a ride on our GO RIO river shuttle from downtown to the Museum Reach to experience the Soul of San Antonio.

Guests may visit our GO RIO Beverage Bar and Retail location near the Rivercenter Ticket Booth for frozen margaritas, piña coladas, beer, sodas, or water to sip on while they enjoy a GO RIO Cruise or during their visit to the River Walk. Guests can also stock up on souvenirs or other necessities like sunblock.

May 2017, GO RIO was awarded a 10-year contract with the City of San Antonio to operate the river cruises. Operations began on October 1, 2017.
