Kerrville – Guadalupe River

GlowRow® invites you to experience the Guadalupe River in downtown Kerrville like never before! This unique 18+ nighttime kayaking tour offers a mix of natural beauty, city charm, and a touch of Texas Hill Country history as you paddle along the glowing waters beneath the stars.

Starting near downtown, this scenic route flows alongside Kerrville’s vibrant city park, where local musicians often perform, filling the air with soulful notes that drift down the river. The combination of live music and the gentle glow from our kayaks creates an unforgettable atmosphere, blending the lively sounds of downtown Kerrville with the serene rhythm of the river. As you paddle along, you’ll feel connected to the local culture and community in a way that few experiences can offer.

The Guadalupe River itself is rich in history, with roots tracing back to early Texas settlers and indigenous communities who relied on its waters. Kerrville, founded in the mid-1800s, became a hub for ranching, trade, and later, tourism, as visitors were drawn to the scenic river and the natural beauty of the surrounding hills. Today, the city preserves its historical charm, and the river remains central to its identity, providing a lifeline for wildlife and a beloved gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.

As you navigate this stretch of the river, you’ll pass beneath historic bridges and glimpse landmarks that reflect Kerrville’s heritage. GlowRow®’s transparent kayaks, equipped with patented Glow-Paddles and a powerful 20,000-lumen lighting system, allow you to see the aquatic life below in stunning detail. You may encounter needle-nose gar, bass, shad, and catfish beneath the surface, along with the occasional beaver that makes its home along the river’s banks.

For added excitement, our 8 pm tour offers a chance to witness the nightly bat launch, as hundreds of bats emerge from their roost to begin their evening meal, creating a mesmerizing sight against the dusk sky. For the ultimate GlowRow® experience, join our 10:30 pm tour to immerse yourself fully in the glow of the river, with serene quiet and optimal lighting revealing the magic beneath the surface.

This tour is designed for adults seeking a memorable evening adventure that combines the sights and sounds of downtown Kerrville with the quiet magic of the Guadalupe River.
