Amazing and educational - It was the best part of a 3 day trip. Trey was a great guide and very helpful. He offered a lot of information and answered all of our questions. He also made sure we didn't miss any of the wildlife. The boats were easy to maneuver although a bit of a workout on the way back upstream. The lights made it easy to see in the water. This was the best experience we had during our trip. We can't wait to go back and try a daytime trip instead of after dark.

We loved it and we're not in shape lol - Kaya was an amazing tour guide!! Both me and my husband and not very physically fit and we made it. Whole trip was about 85 minutes. And our 11 year old had a blast!! Would totally go again when we are in Austin.

Sunset Tour, chill vibes 🤟🤟 - Tour Guide Trey was plain awesome; clear and concise with directions, helped us get our bearings and was considerate of the little experience we've had on the river. The tour itself was pretty dope! The night setting really gave the experience a different vibe, my partner and I felt comfortable enough to try it again sometime. It wasn't daunting in the least, and most of all, fun! Will recommend to friends visiting the area, definitely gave us a new hobby to explore.

Sunset glow tour - Went to the 9pm tour and we were the only ones signed up (technically got a private tour). Trey was our guide. He was fantastic, very knowledgeable and was really considerate pointing out different animals. We even got to witness a raccoon fight, along with seeing multiple fish, turtles, and bats.
