Skyline Kayak Tour
Duration: 2 hours
Take a trip down the Colorado River on a Skyline Kayak Tour near Austin, Texas! With certified tour guides and kayaks, this is an exhilarating and scenic adventure you'll never forget. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced paddler, there are options for all skill levels so that everyone can make the most of their time on the water.
The tours usually take around four hours, with kayakers departing from Tom Hughes Park in Leander and heading downstream towards Granger Lake. You'll also admire views of majestic cliff walls covered in vegetation and still water expanses surrounded by unspoiled nature. Relax as you paddle, seeing birds nesting in moss-covered trees alongside glimpses of deer roaming along the riverbank. Depending on weather conditions, you may even catch a glimpse of wild turtles sunbathing along rocks and logs. When your arms start feeling tired from paddling, take some time to shore up your canoe and soak up some sun rays perched atop your kayak!
