Michael was an awesome guide on our 9am kayak tour in Austin. It was a great way to start our day and he allowed us to kayak at our own pace - with no pressure to go far or fast, he allowed us to take it all in and appreciate the landscape. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to start the day with a peaceful trip on the water and to see the city from a different angle.

That was an amazing experiment since my 1st time with kayak, the Lady Bird view is wonderful. Nelly was so nice and patient with 4 of us who were always behind. However, it was better if the host advised that each person should bring at least 500ml drinking water for hydration under the sun, and plastic bottles are ok as long as we bring them back. We didn’t have enough water bacause of your instruction of plastic avoiding, so we felt exshauted after 2/3 way.
