Epic kayak day with an epic tour guide - 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.

Fantastic way to see the city! - Amazing couple of hours on the water learning some great history of the downtown Austin area. Tour guide (Madeline?) was very personable and did a wonderful job.
