Fun and Unique Experience! - Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 girls age 12 and 13) had a great time with Trey! He pointed out beavers, raccoons, birds, turtles, and fish during our trip. The tour was so calm and peaceful, and each boat had its own control to pick what color lights we wanted to make our boat glow. The glass bottom kayak in crystal clear water with glow lights under the boat made very a very unique experience!

VIATOR is the problem, not the glow company! - THIS REVIEW IS FOR VIATOR not the glow kayak company. Our experience was horrible. 8 of us booked, but when we arrived VIATOR had not communicated our reservation for two of our floaters. The company wasn't able to allowed them to float anyways because they did not have enough kayaks (because VIATOR did not communicate our reservation). After an hour of panic and phone calls, they refunded 1/2 of our group BUT that was after we spent 100.00 in Uber fees because Viator listed the activity in AUSTIN but it was 40 mins from downtown Austin. BOOK DIRECTLY!
