Itinerary
You will meet with your guide and then embark on an eco-paddling adventure in our 100% clear tandem kayaks! Your guide will help you capture those candid moments and educate you about the wildlife and springs along the way. The lights in the bottom of your kayak will illuminate the spring-fed river bed, revealing a variety of fish species, crawfish, and you might even see a beaver swim by! You will also get the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing spring water. You don’t want to pass up this great family, or date night adventure! Weight Limit: These limits are set by the manufacturer to prevent any risk of the kayak sinking, which could lead to injury and damage to our equipment. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Both criteria must be met: 1) Maximum individual weight: 250 lbs (also applies in the event of a solo kayaker) 2) Combined weight of both guests: Cannot exceed 425 lbs For Example: Yes: 250 lbs and 160 lbs = 410 lbs | No: 260 lbs and 120 lbs = 380 lbs | Maybe: 230 lbs and 220 lbs = 450 lbs. In this case, please contact us before booking to check if we can accommodate you with individual kayaks

Kaylin was awesome and very helpful
Outstanding! Zach was informative, helpful, and friendly. Loved seeing the racing beaver.
We did the Night Glow Tour and had such a fantastic time with Robin!! We had a free evening in San Marcos and found this cool opportunity only a couple hours ahead of the scheduled tour time. The clear kayaks on the river are such a cool concept and the equipment was very very clean and well maintained. What really made our tour such a great experience was the passion from our guide, Robin. He truly went out of his way to make sure we learned about the history of the river and the wildlife that call it home. He was full of interesting information about the fish, plants, mammals as well as the conservation efforts being made to ensure the river and wildlife are protected best as possible. We saw tons of different kinds of fish, beavers, turtles (including a snapping turtle!), crawfish, bats, racoons and an opossum. This is way more than just a nighttime kayak cruise!
Robin was great w/ a fun sense of humor! Very knowledgeable of the river during our entire tour! He also sent us videos and photos after our tour was complete!
Awesome 5 stars to Robin for this awesome experience! My son and I had the best night on the water. Our guide was knowledgeable and added to the fun with his information. The bats were my favorite
We did the sunset tour with ROBIN. He was informative and had a good eye for spotting the turtles, fish and the animals on the shore line. I would recommend the sunset tour as it is something different and fun!
Had a fantastic tour with Robin! He’s got an eye to see the things we couldn’t! We would highly recommend!!!!
Wow! SO COOL!! We did this on a whim and booked our tour last-minute, the day of. When we arrived, we were greeted by our guide Robin who helped us get set up and ready to go. He was so helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. We weren't sure what to expect or what we would even be able to see at night, but we were pleasantly surprised, to the point where my wife started making a list of everything we saw - different types of fish, turtles, animals along the shore, bats, and more...all of which, Robin identified and told us about. What a cool guy. We had a blast chatting with him about the area, nature and getting to know him as well. I would highly recommend the tour. If you're on the fence about whether or not to try this tour, I sincerely hope this review pushes you over the edge to book your tour today. I can't say enough great things about Robin as our guide. Cheers to Robin!
Robin was great! Ask for him specifically!
Robin was our tour guide. His knowledge of local critters & nature was astonishing! The water, boat, and weather was all gorgeous as well!! Truly incredible adventure! Highly recommend!

It's was beautiful and peaceful. Trip was amazing and explained about the local wildlife In The area was patient and very down to earth. I would Definitely do it again.
Trip was an Awesome Guide! He was very knowledgeable about the river we were on. Our lights attracted minnows and we had Bass chasing them around and under our boat. Great way to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary! ❤️
Our tour guide Robin did an amazing job in making sure that my husband and I had a great experience
Robin was an exceptional tour guide! He went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I had an awesome experience.
It was such a cool experience to be out on the water in the dark and still be able to see what was below us! The weather was nice, and the kayaking was easy and relaxing. Our guide, Robin, did a good job and helped make it an enjoyable experience. I would recommend this for a fun and unique way to get out on the water at night.
This was such a fun experience. Great for kids! Kaylin was the best tour guide!
Robin was so informative about the wildlife and river history!
Robin was the best! Great experience and will be coming back for sure
Highly recommend! ! Our guide, Robin, was knowledgeable, personable and went above and beyond for everyone in our tour. This was awesome!
It was fun. Lots of laughs. Definitely bring a change of clothes! It was informative and relaxing.
10/10 experience with Robin!! We had such an amazing time from start to finish! Robin was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour so enjoyable. We got our full allotted time and even some extra, which we really appreciated! We saw some incredible wildlife and made unforgettable memories along the way. You can tell Robin genuinely loves what they do! Highly recommend booking with Robin. You won’t be disappointed!
Trip was the guide, & he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife that lives along the river. If he wouldn't have pointed the bats out living under the bridge, I never would have even known they were there. I wasn't sure how the paddling was going to go, but he explained it so well, it was actually fun & relaxing! It was a great way to spend an early evening. If you take the tour in the evening, they have a light bar on the bottom of the kayak, which is also see thru (think glass bottom boat). Well worth it!!
Robin was the GOATTT, very funny guy and I feel like the queen of san marcos river after our tour.
Robin was very informative and a great guide
A neat experience Trip was a blast. Definitely worth it.
My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in Wimberley, TX. We arranged an 8:30 glow tour in San Marcos, TX, which is about a 30-minute drive, with Get Up and Go, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Robin, transformed our time on the water from a simple tour into an exciting adventure! His expertise on the local plants and wildlife, along with his dedication to ensuring we saw as much as possible, truly impressed us. We had an unforgettable and enjoyable time!! THANK YOU ROBIN!!!!
Absolutely loved the night kayak adventure! It was such a fun and memorable experience, and Zach was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even better. Highly recommend!
Robin was so friendly! he was helpful, patient and knows fun facts. I'm glad we had him as our guide! On a different note I think the parking situation is ridiculous and I think it's un fair for the guides that work on certain nights, our parking shouldn't be more because of events that have nothing to do with what we are doing. Poor Robin had to start with people upset about that and that's not fair. He handled it very well, so extra respect for that!
Robin is great !!! Really informative and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely recommend..
This was a great activity and I highly recommend asking for Robin as your guide.
