Epic kayak day with an epic tour guide

Published on May, 2024

My friends and I had a great time and much to our surprise did not get consumed by any Lady Bird Lake demons. My instructor Pedro was cheerful and made me feel like the best kayaker in the world. I wish I could take him home with me and make him accompany me on all my kayaking adventures.

Great trip with my teenage son

My 14 year old son and I had a great time. Our guide Henry was friendly and personable and had a lot of interesting facts about the area. Highly recommend!

Fantastic way to see the city!
