There's a little slice of magic right in Irving and it's called the Mandalay Canal. You can even cruise Venetian gondolas right along it. This tranquil waterway offers a one-of-a-kind adventure perfect for couples seeking a romantic date to remember, friends craving a unique outing or even large groups hoping to make a few memories. Gondola Adventures is family-owned and operated Greg and his family and they have a passion for these boats and enjoy making your experience one-of-a-kind.

Book Your Cruise
It's a Whole Vibe
Nestled among the Las Colinas cityscape, these gondola rides offer the best serene views. Sunset and evening cruises are highly booked, hint, hint. There's nothing like a Texas sunset on the water. When you step aboard your own little love boat, be prepared to be serenaded by a singing gondolier. It will be like a scene out of your favorite rom-com and go ahead and kiss under every bridge. Tradition holds that if a couple kisses while passing underneath the bridge in a gondola, they will enjoy eternal love.
Twinkle, Twinkle Romance is in the Air
Nope, that's not the San Antonio Riverwalk, it's the beautifully lit canal right in the heart of DFW. Recently, twinkle lights were added to all the trees along the cobblestone paths. The lighting makes a night cruise extra special and adds to the experience.
