Great Tour and Guide, I Was Pleasantly Surprised - Way cooler than I thought it was going to be. The river was stunning, the kayaks were comfortable, easy to maneuver, and just cool to look through. Our guide Michael was super knowledgeable about the plants, fish, and river and was very helpful. Not too long, not too short. Definitely worth it.

Excellent way to see the river in San Marcos. - Really amazing tour of the river. Jake was an excellent guide, very knowledgable and clearly loves the area. As an added tread on our tour, we saw a beaver swimming up the river. Plus - all of the other wildlife we saw - my youngest thinks she even spotted a gar in the river! Totally recommend if you visit San Marcos.
