Starting At $151.75
About this Adventure
Looking to spark a little romance and adventure? Our 3-hour Self-Guided Date Night Ride starts with a scenic cruise straight into the heart of Gruene, one of Texas Hill Country’s most charming towns. There, you’ll have time to enjoy dinner, explore historic streets, and maybe share a quiet moment by the river.
After dinner, the adventure continues as you and your special someone hit the open road, winding through River Road and the rolling backroads of Texas Hill Country. The gentle curves, river views, and peaceful countryside make the perfect setting to end the night on a high note—just the two of you, the road, and the stars overhead.
