I loved this tour! Our tour guide, Nora did a FANTASTIC job showing us up and down the lake. I learned some very interesting things about Austin that I never knew about, and I'm from here. Will add as a potential option to show out-of-towners a piece of my city!

Response from Host, Sept 2025

Thank you so much for coming on a clear bottom kayak tour! We’re so glad to hear you had a fantastic time with Nora—she truly loves sharing Austin’s beauty and history with our guests. It’s wonderful that you were able to discover something new about your own city, and we’d love to have you back anytime, especially with out-of-town visitors!

Lots of scenic views!

I think my guide was Ross (?) but everyone was super nice and helpful! We went out on time, saw the bats, had free time throughout. It was a really great night out on the water! I just wished the paths were a bit more lit to show the path back. I was scared I was going to get lost! I wouldn’t go back to see the bats per se, but I would book with this company again if they offer other services on the lake!

We appreciate your feedback about the lighting on the way back—that’s very helpful for us as we continue improving our tours. We’d love to see you again on one of our other adventures around the lake! 🌅🛶

The way to see the downtown Austin skyline

Very informative tour, beautiful skyline. Satvik is very knowledgeable about what we saw but also beyond. It was a great benefit that he is born and raised in Austin.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for joining our tour! We’re so glad you enjoyed the skyline views and Satvik’s knowledge—he loves sharing his Austin roots with our guests. Hope to see you again soon! 🌟
