Mac was a great guide. He made the trip fun and interesting with may facts about the wildlife and city skyline. It was the best way to spend a spring morning and I highly recommend Lone Star and Mac!

Reid was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the city, Lady Bird Lake, the bat bridge, etc. My husband and I had a wonderful time and highly suggest doing a kayak tour with him. The lake was very smooth the day we went which was nice. We got to see a lot of ducks, birds and turtles.

Fun activity to view down town Austin. Reid was very nice giving Austin history and its background. Love the amazing weather and vibe as you kayak down the river.

Our guide JT is as super friendly, informative, and fun. It was a relaxed way to see Austin’s beautiful skyline and nature.

The Kayak tour itself was great and our guide JT did a great and entertaining job of enlightening us about the local river/lake/Austin skyline and it's history. We were a bit disappointed that we weren't able to experience the early morning Tranquility Tour that we signed up for due to a shortage of staff, so we got moved to a later tour. Also a bit disappointed about how much litter and trash was at our launch point on the river (not the tour company's fault) ... but did detract some from what could be a very beautiful environment.

Arrive early to find parking. The parking under the bridge was full but we found free parking along the street following the park. After that, great experience. The kayaks weren’t fancy but sturdy and easy to use. If you are comfortable in a canoe, this will be easy for you. Our guide was flexible to our needs and was focused on safety first. It was a fun way to learn about the city and their bats!
