Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Austin Day Tour? Is there a chance I’ll get wet?

A: I'd recommend wearing quick-dry clothing since you might get splashed a bit while paddling. A swimsuit or athletic wear works great, plus don't forget a hat and sunscreen! It can be sunny out there, especially during the day.

Q: Can we reschedule if the weather turns bad?

A: Yes, they’re pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather. Just reach out to them as soon as you know you can’t make it. They understand that Austin weather can be unpredictable!

Q: What’s the age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: Kids are totally welcome! They recommend at least 6 years old for safety reasons, and there should be a parent or guardian with them. It’s a great way to introduce them to the outdoors!

Just did the Austin Day Tour, and it was amazing!

I just got back from the Austin Skyline Day Tour, and wow, it was absolutely worth it! The views of downtown from Lady Bird Lake were stunning. The guides were super chill and shared really interesting stories about the city's history. I went with my friends, and we were all in awe of how peaceful it felt on the water. I can't recommend it enough for anyone visiting Austin!

Thinking of gifting the Austin Day Tour, any thoughts?

I’m considering this kayak tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves outdoor stuff and I think she’d enjoy the local vibe. Has anyone done this? What’s the best time to go? I want it to be a special day for her!
