5.00Absolutely amazing. From start to finish Kaitlyn was super friendly and informative. We have never been to Austin or even in a kayak before but she made us feel so at ease and relaxed, we learned so much too. The bats were a beautiful finish to the evening and we would definitely recommend anyone to do it. Thanks again Kaitlyn for a fab evening.
