Sam Houston Boat Tour

All aboard the M/V Sam Houston for a boat tour around one of the busiest ports in the world! The Sam Houston Boat tour offers free 90-minute round-trip rides around the Houston ship channel for you and your child to learn about this highly functioning port. Leaving from the Sam Houston Pavilion, sightseers will enjoy views of massive cargo ships, different types of local birds and maybe even some dolphins!

Not only is the ship channel itself an historical entity, having been used to ship goods since at least 1836, the M/V Sam Houston has been giving visitors tours since 1958. The very comfortable 95 foot tour boat includes air-conditioned seating along with a standing area on the boat’s deck and can hold up to 90 passengers.  Large windows line the vessel making all of the wonderful sights of the Houston ship channel easy to view. And to be more environmental friendly, the tour boat received new low-emission fuel engines and a new generator in 2010.

If you want to have a fun yet educational experience with your children, the Sam Houston boat tour is for you. Come check out this unique way to learn about one of the many special things about Houston!
