Great experience! - Rented kayaks for me and my friend on Lady Bird Lake (not a tour, just rental). The guide was super friendly and punctual. Kayaks were clean and easy to maneuver. I would definitely rent from here again!

Fun Day in the Sun - Sean was an awesome tour guide! My brother, fiance and myself decided to book a kayak tour on Ladybird lake because I had never visited Austin before - it was a great idea! We were able to get a great view of the city from the Lake and Sean taught us about the history of the buildings around us and also about the history of the bat population there in Austin. He was very knowledgeable! Additionally, he let us just enjoy spending time rowing around the lake and he was prompt and ready to go when we arrived. I highly recommend using Longhorn as a kayak service if you are looking for an easy and fun day outdoors during your trip!
