What initially was supposed to be 4 of us guys riding in a tank at drivetanks.com ended up as something much more. After our awesome tank+gun range experience we were planning our next step in our trip when a tour guide named Chelsea persuaded us to stay and take the Safari package. And so we did, and boy was it a blast. We also rented a cottage for one night and continued the next day with some cave exploring and more safari in one of their awesome Jeeps and even saw some authentic dynosaur tracks. We really connected with the place and everyone is very friendly and the hospitality exceeds all expectations. Thanks for an amazing experience.

We had an awesome time at DriveTanks. We drove a Sherman Tank, shot off some machine guns, and shot a car with a tank! It was really awesome to be able to fire some of that old equipment. We also see all these items from WW2 in their museum. So cool. We stayed in the Barracks which was excellent. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful time Glenn.

Chalk Bluff Park-Paddle Boat Rentals

Reviewed By GOYOnANGELA - San Antonio, United States

WOW the views at Park Chalk Bluff are amazing! From the crystal clear water to the huge wall of rock right across the river this place is awesome!!! Best time we have had in a long time! We set up camp as soon as we got there then got a ring of rocks for the fire. Collected branches from around our campsite and had a huge fire. The best part was seeing all the stars at night. Beautiful moment with my wife. I'm sure we will not be forgetting any time soon! The staff is friendly and very informative and they showed us where everything was on the map of the park! We will definitely be back soon. Thank you guys for a great time!!!!
