Spring has sprung in Austin, Texas, and there’s no better way to celebrate the season than by hitting the water with a paddle in hand! March 2025 is shaping up to be the perfect time to explore Austin’s stunning waterways on a clear kayak, and at Get Up And Go Kayaking, we’re ready to make your adventure unforgettable. Not convinced yet? Here are five reasons why clear kayaking in Austin this spring should be at the top of your list.

1. Perfect Spring Weathera large body of water with a city in the background

March in Austin brings that sweet spot of weather—warm days with highs in the 70s, cool breezes, and none of the scorching summer heat. It’s ideal for gliding across the water without breaking a sweat (unless you want to!). Whether you’re paddling Lady Bird Lake or exploring the Colorado River, the mild temperatures make every moment on the water pure bliss. Spring kayaking means you can soak up the sun without overheating—talk about a win-win!

2. Nature Comes Alive

Spring transforms Austin’s waterways into a vibrant showcase of life. Picture this: wildflowers blooming along the shorelines, ducks swimming, and birds like herons and egrets soaring overhead. The season’s renewal adds an extra layer of magic to your kayaking trip. With Get Up And Go Kayaking’s clear kayaks, you’ll get a front-row seat to this natural spectacle—both above and below the surface. It’s like paddling through a living postcard!

3. Beat the Crowds

March is your chance to enjoy Austin’s outdoor scene before the summer rush kicks in. The waterways are quieter, giving you a more peaceful paddle and plenty of space to take in the views. Whether you’re a local looking for a midweek escape or a visitor wanting to experience Austin like a pro, spring kayaking offers that sweet balance of adventure and tranquility. Book early with us, and you’ll have the water practically to yourself!

4. A Fresh Start to Your Year

After months of winter hibernation, spring is the season to shake things up and try something new. Kayaking is the perfect way to kick off 2025 with a splash (pun intended!). It’s low-pressure, beginner-friendly, and oh-so-rewarding—whether you’re working those arm muscles or just soaking in the serenity. Our guided tours at Get Up And Go Kayaking make it easy to dive in, no experience required. Why not make this the year you say “yes” to a paddle-powered adventure?

5. Unforgettable Austin Views

Austin’s skyline and natural beauty shine in March, and there’s no better vantage point than from a kayak. Paddle past the downtown skyline, framed by budding trees, or glide under the iconic Congress Avenue Bridge as bats begin their evening flights. Spring’s soft light makes every photo a keeper, and our clear kayaks let you peek at the underwater world, too. It’s a uniquely Austin experience you won’t find anywhere else—and we’re here to guide you every stroke of the way.
