About Meadows Center Glass-Bottom Boat Tours

Meadows Center Glass-Bottom Boat Tours offers guided tours of Spring Lake in San Marcos, where visitors view the lake's underwater environment through the boat's glass bottom. Standard tours last thirty minutes and depart continuously throughout the day on a first-come, first-served basis. Extended forty-five-minute tours run on weekends and feature springs not visible on the standard route. Each boat accommodates up to twenty adults. Private group tours require advance registration at least three business days prior. Visitors can enhance their experience by adding a guided tour of the Wetlands Boardwalk, which explores the ecosystem and plant and animal life in this fragile wetland habitat. Tours operate daily, with departures beginning thirty minutes after the park opens and continuing until thirty minutes before closing. This attraction suits families, seniors, and groups interested in observing local spring ecology and aquatic environments.
