The guide was awesome, Cyrus. Took us everywhere, cool. And even gave us a little bit of history and background of the area.

Memorable Outing - A Must Do activity in Austin
Felicity_C, Oct 2023
As a South African family, our Kayaking experience with Trystan was truly delightful. He made an extra effort to ensure our children felt at ease, showing genuine interest and engaging with them. The experience offered a unique view of Austin from the river, combining history, beauty, and a deep appreciation for nature amidst the city's hustle and bustle. We particularly enjoyed the refreshing swim in the spring water, while Trystan captured wonderful moments for us to cherish. A great outing for us all!
Fun Kayaking in Austin

Cyrus gave us a memorable experience. He explained all about the area - water, trees, birds, animals, fish and answered all our questions. By the Barton Springs pool we got to go in the water, which was very cool and refreshing. It was a fun experience and Cyrus was an excellent guide!!! Thank you!!!

It was lovely to be on the lake but the guide was very quiet so couldn’t hear some of the commentary.

On 8/3, my family and I enjoyed a kayak tour with Libby. Check in was easy and kayaks are well maintained. On our tour, Libby kindly informed us about the lake and the wildlife. She made sure we were comfortable and packed lots of water for us on the 100+ day. Loved swimming in Barton Springs. I'm glad I booked with Rowing Dock.
Be confident in yourself.

Our tour guide was well educated on the area. Very nice and kind. He answered all the questions I had. I did notice he had a nervous laugh. It made him sound like he was new on the job. Just share your facts and don’t worry if people don’t like you etc. Just be confident in your knowledge and share with a smile. You are wonderful.
Highly recommend

Our tour guide Cyrus was great. He was very knowledgeable and patient in showing me the “newbie” how to maneuver the kayak. I had a great time! I highly recommend this tour.
