A recommended day trip from Lakeway Resort & Spa
Start your day with breakfast at Sixty-Three Restaurant & Bar, pick up a shuttle or the resort’s boat transfer to the marina, then head out for a guided sailing or a Zip Island zipline excursion on Lake Travis. Return mid‑afternoon for the pool complex and a swim-up cocktail at the Sunset Pool Bar, then freshen up in your Lakeview with Balcony Room or Junior Suite, Balcony before dinner at Sixty-Three.
In this guide
Morning: Breakfast with a lake view
Begin at Sixty-Three Restaurant & Bar for breakfast service (weekdays 7 AM–11 AM; weekends 7 AM–3 PM per the resort). The restaurant serves Contemporary American and Southwestern-inspired dishes and offers lake views that help orient you for the day ahead.
If you’re staying in-room, you can also order breakfast to your door via Knock & Drop in-room dining (available 7 AM–11 AM). Returning to your room after an early outing is convenient if you’re booked in a Lakeview with Balcony Room or a Junior Suite, Balcony — both offer private balconies to enjoy late-morning light.

Mid-morning: Boat transfer and marina activities
The resort includes golf cart transportation to Lakeway Marina as part of the daily resort fee; ask the concierge about the schedule and where to meet for the transfer. Many lake activities—sailing, pontoon rentals, jet skis, and guided excursions—operate out of Lakeway Marina at the resort’s address.
If you prefer a guided outing, Texas Sailing runs excursions out of the same address; for high-adrenaline options, Zip Island (Lake Travis Zipline Adventures) operates from a private island accessible only by boat. Confirm reservations and transfer timing with the concierge before heading out.
- Check with concierge for golf cart transfer timing to Lakeway Marina
- Options at the marina: guided sailing, pontoon rentals, jet skis, fishing trips
- For Zip Island zipline: reservations and boat transfer required
| Activity | Notes |
|---|---|
| Guided sailing (Texas Sailing) | Book with concierge at resort |
| Pontoon/jet ski rentals | Available from Lakeway Marina; ask about age and driver requirements |
| Zip Island zipline | Boat transfer and advance booking required |
Late morning: Zipline or a relaxed sail on Lake Travis
Choose a more active route (Zip Island ziplines and private island swim beach) or a calmer option (a guided sail to enjoy the lake scenery). Both typically require booking in advance; the resort concierge can help reserve tickets and arrange the marina transfer.
If you choose a sail, bring sun protection, water, and a light jacket for wind on the water. If you choose Zip Island, check any age, weight, or health restrictions with the operator before booking.
- Active: Zip Island—zip lines plus private swim beach (boat access required)
- Relaxed: Guided sailing excursions from Texas Sailing based at the resort address
- Ask concierge about required arrival time at the marina and what to bring
| Choice | Best for |
|---|---|
| Zip Island zipline | Thrill-seekers, groups |

Early afternoon: Return to the resort for pools and lunch
After water activities, use the resort’s golf cart transfer back from the marina to reach the multi-pool complex. The pool complex is open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM and includes an adults-only pool and hot tub, a family pool with an adventure water slide, a courtyard pool with a volleyball net, and a children’s pool.
Have a casual lunch at the Sunset Pool Bar when it’s open (weekends and select hours) or return to Sixty-Three Restaurant & Bar for a fuller meal. Remember the pool rules: coolers and outside food/drink are not permitted, and guests under 16 must have adult supervision in the pool area.
