This adventure is designed for all levels, making it easy to explore the river’s beauty even after dark.

Your journey begins at City Park, where you’ll meet your guide and receive a safety briefing. Set off in your clear kayak, paddling gently as the river comes alive with nocturnal sights and sounds. The glow lights under your kayak illuminate fish, crawfish, and the occasional beaver, while your guide shares insights about the river’s ecosystem and helps you spot wildlife like deer and bats overhead. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to take a refreshing dip in the cool, clear water.

Throughout the tour, your guide will help capture candid moments and answer questions about the local flora and fauna. The experience is perfect for families, couples, or solo explorers seeking a memorable way to connect with nature. The tour concludes back at the starting point, leaving you free to continue your evening in San Marcos or simply reflect on a truly unique river adventure.
