This area is the the best part of Downtown Austin and seeing it from the Giant Paddleboards is the only way to take it all in.
People love this tour because you can customize your trip by including or avoiding all of the following in the same area:
Crystal Clear Refreshing Spring water thats great for swimming any day of the year
Lots of great wildlife like birds, turtles, fish.
People who are into adventure love the bridge jumps and rope swings along the side of the river and some people just like watching everyone else do those activities.
There is plenty of "party atmosphere" along the river but its easy to avoid if you're not into that as well.
There are family friendly swimming holes with shallow pools for kids
There are alot of great photo opportunities with the downtown skyline and great natural springs, bridge jumps, and rope swings make for additional photo worthy moments.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I will send you a video tour of where we meet once you book.
What to expect
We start on Lady Bird Lake and quickly transition to the crystal clear waters below Barton Springs Pool. Wear your swimsuit so you can jump in and swim around!
Expect to see 1,000 turtles and a lot of fish below!
This trip is great for groups and families.
I call this section of the river "the real heart and soul of Austin." There will be people jumping off bridges and going off the rope swings. There are slack lines setup across the river and other impromptu shows and acrobats hanging below the bridge.
On the weekends, there is a massive "party island" you can join built on top of a shallow sand bar with excellent downtown views behind it.
If you like paddle boarding, sun, spring water, swimming, bridge jumps, rope swings, hotties, fish and turtles this trip is for you and your group. Groups of 4+ get their own board, smaller groups are combined to make it a more social event.
On the fence? Ask to see the video!
