Clear Kayaks, Clear Minds: Discover San Marcos Like Never Before!
There’s a reason they say the best therapy is outdoors. At Get Up and Go Kayaking – San Marcos, we believe in making your adventures as transparent as our kayaks literally! Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned paddler, gliding over the crystal-clear San Marcos River is an experience you won’t forget.
Why Choose Clear Kayaking?
Our tours aren’t your average paddle in the park. With 100% transparent kayaks, you’re not just floating on water; you’re floating through it. See fish dart below, spy a shy turtle sliding into the reeds, or marvel at the underwater jungle of native Texas wild rice.
Did you know?
Texas wild rice is an endangered species that only grows in the San Marcos River and nowhere else in the world! Our eco-friendly tours are designed to respect and showcase this one-of-a-kind ecosystem.
Tours for Everyone
Whether you’re planning a romantic glow tour under the stars, a sunset cruise with friends, or a fun family daytime paddle, we’ve got a tour for every vibe. And don’t worry, our knowledgeable guides are there every step (or stroke!) of the way to make sure your journey is smooth, safe, and packed with fun facts.
Pro tip: Book a weekday evening for fewer crowds and unbeatable golden hour views!
Wildlife Watch: Who Will You Spot?
- On any given tour, you might meet:
- Herons sunning along the shoreline
- Turtles bobbing up for air
- A family of ducks weaving through the water
- Fish flickering just beneath your kayak
Did you know?
The San Marcos River is spring-fed, meaning it’s a steady 72°F year-round — perfect for wildlife and even better for a refreshing paddle!
What to Bring

- Water shoes or sandals
- A water bottle (stay hydrated!)
- Your phone/camera (yes, we do have dry bags available)
