  This was our first time kayaking in all the decades living here. Sebastian was so sweet and helpful. Would recommend him. Everything went smoothly with the company. They were quick to reply to my call with questions prior to arriving. The water is pretty gross but not their fault. Maybe also go during cooler weather. But was nice to get our family away from cells and screentime to spend family time with our college student. Thanks again!

  My friend and I had the most exciting experience by signing up for a Bat Tour with Buffalo Bayou Kayak Tours. Ian was our guide. He answered all our questions prior to and during the tour. We Kayaked for 3 hours first under the sunset for 2.5 miles going against the current to the Bat Bridge and see 350K of them take flight at 8 pm then another 2.5 miles back but this time an easier ride enjoying views of the Houston skyline. We encountered a nutria, one lonely bat on one of the pillars, a large turtle on the bayou banks and various types of herons flying that evening. I had been wanting to to this trip for a long time and was so happy to find this tour company facilitating this experience. I will definitely be coming back !

  I booked the Buffalo Bayou Kayak Tours evening bat tour while visiting Houston, and it was such a fun and memorable experience. I wanted to do something different with my sister, and this was a great way to spend time together while seeing Houston from a unique perspective. Ian was our guide and he was excellent, helpful, knowledgeable, and made the tour feel organized and safe. We chose a tandem kayak, which I would recommend if you want to share the work, especially since the first part of the tour goes upstream and there were some stronger currents under the bridges. It was definitely a workout, but very doable if you are in decent health. The highlight was watching thousands of bats fly out from under the Waugh Drive Bridge from the water. It was such a cool experience, and seeing it from a kayak made it feel even more special. The paddle back in the dark was peaceful and much easier with the current. For about $60 per person plus tax, I thought this was a great value for a three-hour guided tour with all equipment included. Whether you live in Houston or are just visiting, I highly recommend Buffalo Bayou Kayak Tours, especially the evening bat tour.

  This experience was a lot of fun for a couple looking for a new way to view our city. It's so much more peaceful being down on the water than fighting all the traffic on the bridges and roadways above. Sebastian was a great guide. He started by telling us some history about Buffalo Bayou. The spot we launched from was the original "Port of Houston." Sebastian told us the best plan for our trip and gave us basic instructions for paddling. We had a two-hour rental, which was reasonably priced, and we were able to paddle all the way to Glenwood Cemetery (just past the first (eastern) Memorial Drive bridge). The paddling trip back was an easy downstream "lazy river," and we were able to enjoy the scenery.
