Waterfalls aren't exactly elusive here in Texas, but some are more difficult to reach than others. Vanishing Texas River Cruises, which sails the deep blue waters of Lake Buchanan, leads passengers to a breathtaking waterfall only accessible by boat. You definitely won't forget a trip to this lush, otherworldly hidden gem.

Sailing the pristine Lake Buchanan, Vanishing Texas River Cruises affords passengers the opportunity to escape the chaos of day-to-day life and enjoy the peacefulness only nature can provide. You'll traverse deep blue waters surrounded by lofty bluffs covered in lush greenery, the entire landscape teeming with wildlife.

Called the "Texas Eagle," the boat has a capacity of 120. She boasts two decks -- one enclosed in case of inclement weather -- plus onboard restrooms, air conditioning, and heat.

The lower deck is climate-controlled and seats 93 people. Large picture windows ensure that everyone has an unobstructed view of the breathtaking scenery.

You'll have seven different cruises to choose from, each presenting an entirely unique -- yet equally amazing -- experience. The original Scenic Wilderness Cruise is an 18-mile journey to the mouth of the Colorado River, showcasing majestic cliffs, gorgeous waterfalls, migratory birds and other native wildlife.

For just over two hours, you'll explore the open waters and take in stunning vistas around every corner. Experienced guides narrate the entire trip, detailing the history and geology of the area as well as points of interest along the way. Other cruises feature different parts of Lake Buchanan, a vineyard, eagles, iconic Texas sunsets, rehabilitated birds, and even an underwater ghost town.

By the way, this waterfall is only accessible via boat. The promise of a hidden gem makes the cruise even more alluring, as you'll be excitedly waiting for the otherworldly scene to reveal itself before your eyes.

Fall is an especially magical time on the cruise, as the changing leaves frame the waterfall in a truly enchanting way. With a crisp autumn breeze in the air, this is every nature lover's dream activity during the harvest season.

Ticket prices vary depending on which tour you take, so visit the Vanishing Texas River Cruise website or Facebook page to learn more.
