We Loved The Experience!!!
"We loved the experience of riding
on a Kayak. It was my daughters first time and we loved
so much that we decided to go back this weekend. Our
first time was October 30, 2011 and we went back today
Saturday November 5, 2011. It is a great experience. We
are thinking of purchasing a Kayak for the family to
enjoy nature. "

You Run A Fabulous Service!!!
"You run a fabulous service. Drew
and I took an afternoon kayak from behind Kinkaid to
Woodway. We had a very special two hours. Michael was
accommodating of our changing schedules and made the day
a great father/son close out to the summer.

We Are Now Hooked!!!
"My group were first timers
....with this experience ..we are now hooked and it will
become life time hobby for all of us. The tour guides
could not have been nicer. They don't care if it is your
first time or if you did not come with a partner. This
pleasant day is highly recommended."

We Had A Blast!!!
"I took my soon to be stepson and
we had a blast! It was low stress and a great time to
visit. The shuttle service was very helpful and
courteous! We saw fish, turtles, baby ducks, and even
had a crane that stayed with us the whole day. The only
thing I wish is that we could have cooled off in the
water (it is nasty). BUT the day was still a hit for
both the 16 yr old and I!"

Great Day on the Bayou!!!
"Great day on the bayou and
the only thing that made it even better was Buffalo
Bayou Shuttle Service. Everyone from the guides to the
driver made sure a fun time was had by all.
Thank you, Ken!!" Posted: April 25, 2011 - From: Ken J. - Source: www.bayoushuttle.com |

THANKS for a WONDERFUL Sunday!!
"I have to say that i was over all
highly impressed with your operation. Your high press in
safety is GREAT!!! I did not expect to have a leader,
middle, and a following teamster. You guys are great!!!!
My two little girls did get hot and tired, My wife
became totally exhausted, but surprisingly, your team
towed her home!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! (her). I will
highly recommend the tour and there are many friends
waiting to hear about our experience and it will be a
"10" report!!!! I will like to do it again, (likely by
myself) and ask if my two Mallard Ducks that wear
diapers and wear harness leashes would be allowed to
join me in my single (or double) kayak?
Let me know if my ducks could join me and THANKS for a WONDERFUL Sunday --- can hardly wait to see the pics!!!" Posted: August 15, 2010 - From: Glenn P. - Source: bayoushuttle.com |
| We
figured out how to communicate!!
"My husband and I went on a tandem
tour as a gift, and it was a blast! The guides were
great- friendly, knowledgeable, and safety aware. I wish
we had thought to bring some cash to tip.
After a little adjusting, we figured out how to communicate so we could paddle and steer effectively. It was so pleasant and peaceful at times that I think it really helped us give our relationship a little boost to spend three hours working, playing, and talking together. Thanks!"

| A memorable
experience!!!
"I am writing to say how much we
enjoyed the Couples tour this evening Saturday, July 24
at 5:30 p.m. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our
anniversary, and I wanted it to be a memorable
experience. Well, it definitely was and more! At
first, we didn't grasp the concept of kayaking properly
and thought it was going to be a long two hours. But
Rick, came to the rescue and told us to relax and enjoy
ourselves. I just want to send a SPECIAL thanks to him
for showing us a great time, and also giving us a
college level lesson in the history of Houston. I will
definitely recommend your tour to my friends and
colleagues at work. Again, thanks Rick!"

| I highly encourage
you to book a tour now!!!
"What: Private Skyline Tour; When:
Friday, 7/16 @ 6:30 pm
Who: 14 friends (all old enough to have grown children...) Thank you to Rico & our tour guides for a night to remember. I had high expectations, and it was better than that. There really are parts of the trip where you have absolutely no clue that you are in the middle of a major city. Also, even though it was really hot , it was very very pleasant on the bayou--no kidding. If you are thinking about doing this, I highly encourage you to book a tour now! P.S. They provide you with great photos the next day." Posted: July 17, 2010 - From: Cindy Featherston. - Source: www.bayoushuttle.com |
| Had a great time!!!
"Had a great time last night on our
excursion down the bayou. It was so nice to see the sun
setting on the skyline and watching the bats come out at
dusk. Thanks to Rico and our guides for a pleasant
experience. "

| I would recommend it
to anyone!!!
"I grew up in Houston and
always wanted to kayak or canoe on Buffalo Bayou. I took
the 5:30 pm Skyline Tour Saturday, July 10 and had a
wonderful time. It was a beautiful day with a nice
breeze. Besides the landmarks, we saw turtles, bats,
birds & a few dogs playing in the water--NO
MOSQUITOES-YEA!! Being a beginner, it was a nice route;
of course it didn't hurt that I shared a kayak with one
of the guides:) Do bring what is recommended: water,
sun screen, snack, gloves, etc. The trip was a lot of
fun and I would recommend it to anyone. All of the
guides were very nice. Thank you!"

| Thanks for the
shuttle service and canoe rental!!!
"Thanks for the shuttle
service and canoe rental last Saturday. I've been
wanting to float this river ever since I moved to
Houston 3 1/2 years ago. I expected to see some trash,
and we did. But not as much as I thought. So that's
good. I really like the payoff at the end. I've
navigated several rivers, but I've never floated through
downtown in a big city! That's pretty cool. Very unique.
So keep up the good work! I hope this catches on."

| Wonderful Father's Day excursion!!!
"Wonderful Father's Day excursion. We did the
Navigator tour at 09:30 and it was a lot of fun. Water
is starting to get a little low, but was still very
navigable and it was amazing to be right in the middle
of the city and not hear or see traffic. Would
recommend bringing gloves if you blister easily and a
good hat, as the sun is getting pretty intense. No bugs
at all, at least on the morning tour."

| Thanks a lot for providing such a useful service!!!
"My friends and I spend A LOT of time along the
Bayou, either running, biking, or kayaking, and having
the ability to go ONE WAY is great!! We used to have to
turn around half way when running, or spend an extra
hour dropping a second vehicle off at the end of a
kayaking trip, or ride in a big circle to get back to
our cars. Now, we can simply call these guys when we
leave and they meet us at the other end! (with our
bikes, kayaks, or even our dog after running!) Thanks a
lot for providing such a useful service."

| The service was exceptional!!!
"The service was exceptional - from the time we
called to book the excursion to the time we were dropped
back off to our car, we couldn't have been more
pleased. The scenery was unbelievable. There were
times when you would have thought you were in a rain
forest yet here we were in the middle of Houston. In
some sections it was so quiet...only the sounds of
nature around you. Thanks to Rico and his friendly
staff, we had a wonderful, relaxing day on the Bayou!"

| I will be going again soon!!
"Today, I took the Skyline tour. It is wonderful to
see the city from this peaceful and beautiful
perspective. The water was high, the current swift and
there was a cool breeze. Our guide Rick was personable
and knowledgable. It is a great way to meet new people.
I will be going again soon!"

"My boyfriend and I had so much fun on our bayou
kayaking trip!!! We went on the skyline tour in the
evening. Perfect time of day. Not too hot and you get to
see the bats come out for the night!! We'll be doing it
again for sure and I've recommended it to friends."

| Kayaking on the Buffalo Bayou Was Great!!!
"Kayaking on the Buffalo Bayou was great. The BB
Shuttle Service offers a great way to see beautiful
nature in the middle of the city and gain basic kayaking
experience if you're a novice. The Houston downtown
skyline was a nice sight as well. It was great to meet
new people, get simple kayaking instruction, and use
their kayak for a very affordable price. The guides were
very down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and fun! I plan on
doing another kayaking trip in the near future. And a
good little work-out too!"

| Excellent Service!
"This was our first time kayaking the Bayou. We had
excellent service from drop off to assistance launching
the boat with a quick instructional on how to control
the kayak. We were checked on at the half way pint along
the way and picked up when we reached downtown.
Excellent service and can't wait for the next trip."

| Just the right amount of commentary about the
things you are passing, historical or cultural, without it
being intrusive! "This is a new company that does kayak tours along buffalo bayou. They have tours from novice (or worse, a first timer like me) to longer/more advanced tours. The set up is kind of like tubing in central Texas. You park downtown, then a shuttle bus drives you upstream and you end up back at your car. You don't need to bring anything, they have all the kayaks and gear, you just show up. There is a guide that gives you just the right amount of commentary about the things you are passing, historical or cultural, without it being intrusive. More importantly, the guides are able to help you get unstuck when you steer into something you shouldn't. They have tours at different times of the day but we did the last one which has the benefit of being slightly cooler, being able to see the sunset, and floating under the Waugh bridge just as all of the bats are flying out. The bayou is not nearly as dirty as you would expect and is quite stunning in places. That is not to say that you won't see a tire or oil drum washed up on shore, but seeing the debris drives home a bigger message about Houston's relationship with nature and commerce."

| THE BEST TIME! "Had the BEST time out there!!!" Posted: April 30, 2010 - From : Alison Daniels - Source: Facebook |
| Enoyed the tour "Enjoyed the tour, was a great way to take the edge off of a tough work week. It's amazing how much greenery you can see in the middle of Houston, and it's nice to not have to go all the way to San Marcos to get a little kayaking in. Especially good if you don't have your own kayak since they arrange everything for you and all you need are two arms to paddle with. I'll definitely do it again when I have time." u and all you need are two arms to paddle with. I'll definitely do it again when I have the time.

| Had so much fun "My boyfriend and I had so much fun on the Adventure Tour. It was pretty cool to see how the bayou runs through Memorial and Downtown. It is about time we started kayaking in Houston. I was amazed at the beauty from below." Posted: April 19, 2010 - From: Candiss Everett - Source: Facebook |
| It was Fantastic!!! "It was fantastic, nice views... hard to even believe you were even in city. Great to see some snakes and turtles in natural habitat. It was a good workout and didn't feel like it. Also like the fact that not always could you tell you were in the middle of the city." Posted: April 13, 2010 - From: Cathy Claussen - Source: E-mail |
| THANK YOU!!! "That was so much better than I expected! I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was, knowing that I was in the middle of one of the largest cities in the country. I plan on going again on your other tours as now I want to see more. Thank You." Posted: April 13, 2010 - From: Sara J - Source: E-mail |
