So fun not scary at all! The lake is very beautiful and big. Me and my husband work together to stir the boat. But it’s definitely team work!

      We rented for 2 hrs I’d recommend nothing less! Must take the left hand turn down & around. This experience was everything I’d hoped for with my husband & son!

      Response from Host, May 2025

      Hi Holly! Glad to hear you had a great time on Lady Bird Lake and at Austin Rowing Club. Hope to see you back soon!

      Excellent couple of hours!

      After we found the parking and actual location of the company (not the name on the front of the building or company name on Viator) it was fantastic! Staff were friendly and helpful and views were well worth it! Great workout and got to see lots of turtles, fish, and foliage with our city views.

      Bad service

      The place was closed, they should not sell tickets if the attraction is closed due to weather problems
