Good ending.

Edilia_G, May 2026
Guided tour was cancelled because it was not supposed to be available for that time. I was told I will be given a refund and they still let me do some kayaking on my own. I just need to wait for my refund now. The girl at the service desk was very apologetic and super nice.

Beautiful and fun!

Katie was such a great tour guide! The tour was a lot of fun and so much to see. Great activity for our girls trip, highly recommend!

Worth every penny!

Kristen_D, Mar 2025
Sam was a fantastic guide. A quick lesson was all everyone needed to feel comfortable on the water. Despite the large number of us (we were 16) they got us in the water quickly, and off we went on an amazing two hour trip. Sam told us about all of the buildings as we went by, gave us a little ecological lesson, and even took us to a place where we could jump in the water. It was on the top of our list of things we did on our weekend and Austin!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Kristen, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate it so much. We are glad to hear y'all had a great time and Sam was informative. Hope to see you back on the water soon!
