Paddle through the serene waters of Lewisville Lake at dusk with Aquabeats Kayaking’s Sunset Kayaking Tour. Experience Highland Village’s nature from a unique perspective as the sun sinks below the horizon.
Located just north of Dallas in Highland Village, Texas, Aquabeats Kayaking, LLC offers paddle adventures that turn tranquil waters into captivating outdoor escapes. The centerpiece here is their Sunset Kayaking Tour and Private Sunset Sessions—trips that invite paddlers of all levels to engage with local waterways against the backdrop of fading daylight. Highland Village sits on the shores of Lewisville Lake, a reservoir famed for its gentle waves and tree-lined coves that reflect the slowly changing sky. As you glide through the water during these tours, the shift from daylight to dusk paints the horizon in gradients of orange and purple, highlighting the large stands of bald cypress and pecan trees bordering the lake. Aquabeats Kayaking has carved out a unique place in the local outdoor scene by offering intimate, well-guided experiences tailored to small groups or solo paddlers seeking serenity away from busier venues.
What makes these tours stand out in the Texas lakes district are the timing and quality of light during sunset hours, which transform the water’s surface into a calm mirror for photographers and nature lovers alike. The wildlife here includes great blue herons, kingfishers, and occasionally turtles sunning on floating logs. These kayak sessions give participants a chance to connect quietly with nature, often spotting local bird populations that are more active in the cooler evening hours. With private sessions available, Aquabeats fosters a personalized adventure that can suit beginners wanting confidence on the water or experienced paddlers aiming for peaceful, reflective outings.
