When the sun slips low over the Hill Country, the San Marcos River changes personality—cool, glassy, and ready to reveal its night life. On this 75‑minute clear kayak sunset glow tour you sit low in a transparent hull while LED lights in the kayak push through spring‑fed water, turning the riverbed into an illuminated map of fish, crawfish, and aquatic plants. The current keeps the rhythm; frogs and bats answer with staccato calls; a beaver may glide by as if escorting you.
