Clear Kayak Day Tour

See straight through to the spring-fed water

Operated by [Guided Tour Brand Here], our guided-tour partner. $75 / person · up to 12 paddlers.

Glide across Lady Bird Lake in a fully transparent kayak and watch Austin's underwater world drift by beneath your seat. Your guide leads the group from the downtown shoreline toward the calm, spring-fed mouth of Barton Creek, pointing out turtles, fish, and the herons that work the banks.

It's an easy, beginner-friendly pace with time for photos against the skyline and a stop at a sandbar where you can hop out and cool off. No experience needed — just bring a sense of adventure.
