Fantastic experience with my girlfriend!
I had a good rental experience with Lady Bird Lake Rentals. Easy to book online at the last minute. Single kayak for $40 for 2 hours or $50 for all day. Includes life jacket and paddle. It was a short walk carrying the kayak from the rental location next to the Holiday Inn to get to the entry point on the river. In 2 1/2 hours, I was able to paddle from Lady Bird Lake, up the Colorado River to the entrance of Barton Creek and back. Great views of the downtown Austin skyline along the way. Amazing to have this much natural beauty in an urban setting. Beware if it is a windy day as it was when I kayaked. The return trip against the 20-30 mph winds made for a tough workout especially on the wider Lady Bird Lake.
Good attention and explanations. Excellent for family, friends have fun and quality time.
Jordan was awesome! It was so fun!
Chase was wonderful! Smooth process to rent and they provide guidance on how to use the paddle board properly. A fun activity to view the city skyline and cool off a bit from the Austin heat.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled Chase helped make your experience smooth and easy, and that the paddle board tips were helpful. There’s nothing better than cooling off on the water while enjoying those skyline views! We hope to see you back out on Lady Bird Lake soon!
