Activity itinerary

Barton Creek Greenbelt

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
During this Safari hike along Barton Creek, you will see a 1.5 mile(3 miles there and back) stretch of Austin's beloved "Greenbelt." Along this stretch will be a couple of caves and a couple of swimming holes. Twin Falls and Sculpture Falls will be scene along the route. With the option to travel another .75 miles to the Hill of Life or Hidden Falls up the creek near the Lost Creek portion of the Barton Creek Greenbelt.

Blunn Creek Nature Preserve (Pass by)

On one of our Greenbelter Safari Hike options you can take a hike through the hilltops nearby historic St. Edwards University and beyond. This hike will go through nature preserve land in Central East Austin only a few miles from city centre or the airport. Great for tourists who would like to see where long time Austinite's like to go hiking. Volcanic overlook, enchanted forest, c'mon what are you waiting for! :)

Commons Ford Ranch

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
This ole timey Austin ranch converted into a park along beautiful Lake Austin makes a perfect place for a hike. Scenic trails along the river and plenty of world class birding(may even see a bald eagle!) Come hike with us on the old cow trails, probably my favourite spot in all of Austin to hike and swim. This spot is great for birding and animal viewing, as it is a ways outside of the city limits.

Barton Springs Pool (Pass by)

On this safari hike we will explore the stretch of Barton Creek that is just upstream on the iconic Barton Springs Pool. Knowledge of the Eliza Springs and also wildlife such as the sacred Blind Salamanders and Barton Springs Salamanders will be shared. There is also a cave that we will hike to. This hike is around 2.2 miles in length and will encompass around 2 hours before returning to the original meet up spot.
