    We came to the hill country with our family for a relaxing vacation over our spring break. Our…read moredistrict's spring break was later than the local spring break, so none of the river companies we reached out to returned our calls-- none except Peaceful Valley. I'm glad they didn't. Joe works a stretch of the Medina river far from the crowded parks in Kerrville, and provides a personalized level of service that I have not previously experienced. Instead of providing a one size fits all float, he wanted each paddler's age and weight to make sure he had the right equipment. Instead of picking an available slot that fit his schedule, he worked around ours. It was perfect. The stretch of river he works is unique. The water level was a bit low so there were a few spots where we had to get out, but it was well worth it to not see another soul the entire trip! Since was no set schedule or deadline to meet, we took our time and enjoyed the day. We enjoyed the nesting hawks in the cypress trees, the river turtles, and swimming with the fish in the crystal clear water. Per Joe's recommendation, we brought goggles to see the fish better. I recommend a snorkel as well! Also per Joe's advice, we brought carrots and visited his friendly and frisky donkeys after our float. The kids loved it! Highly recommended!

    Following on a message from Mike that he had taken over management of the company and had it…read morerunning smoothly again, we took two kayaks out for a paddle on the Guadalupe. Our interactions with Outlaw River Rentals were indeed very smooth from drop off to pick up, everyone was friendly and professional, plus there was very helpful guidance about river conditions. This was the experience we had hoped for last year. No fault of ORR, the area is in the midst of a drought which meant drop off and pick up were from the boat ramp under the highway, because there is little current in the river. Upstream is nicer scenery but does require carrying the boat over a weir (small dam), while downstream the scenery was riverside suburbs (maybe more natural further downstream). In more normal conditions the trip involves drop off here but then riding the current downstream to a take out. There was mention of potential future drop off at Canyon Lake at what sounds like a very interesting area.

    SCAM!!! NO STORE FRONT!! Extremely Unprofessional!!! Rent at your own risk!!!…read moreFew weeks back we paid and reserved for 5 double kayaks and 1 single kayak with Lisa at the Outlaw River Rentals. Payment was made via zelle, and reservations were complete. Drop off at Friday morning and pick up at Saturday evening, that was the total duration of the reservation, total cost with what were told deep discounts was $714.44. We talked on the phone and exchanged text message as they were very busy [What I was told]. Weather got pretty nasty and the river was absolutely dirty so we called and tried to cancel, didn't get a response, we sent a text message stating the request for cancellation and refund. It was accepted and the reservations were cancelled. On asking how the refund would take we were told 3-5 business days. Fast forward more than two week and I still have not heard from them. After several failed calls and text messages I have not heard back. If you are working with this company do it at your own risk. Read some more reviews after this incident and found out they have duped other folks too and have charged their credit cards multiple times.. So Lisa and Mike if you are reading this... let me just let you know what you did with us was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for!

    We rented four kayaks, 2-diablos amigos and 2- Jackson Bite Anglers from Amistad Expeditions and…read moreused them to shuttle us to and from the river. Jarrett our shuttle driver was fantastic with lots of Information and stories. Our 2-nights and 3-days on the river were unbelievable. The water, stars, scenery, and quiet were everything and more than we expected. Being first time white-water kayakers we read and watched everything we could over the last 6-months but we were still very inexperienced and thus our reliance on the outfitter. However the equipment was not up to par. All four kayaks had issues and so did all four oars and the spare. Busted tie down netting, missing oar tie downs, duct taped oars, missing or torn rubber grips and keepers on the oars and one chair missing half the top frame which made for a very uncomfortable seat. We ended up duct tapping one life preserver to the seat back to make it bearable. The storage compartment gaskets on the Diablos were torn with chunks missing so water in those two kayaks was a constant issue. We had dry bags but draining these two kayaks to keep them at least partially controllable was a chore. We obviously should have been more observant at the facility but the kayaks and equipment were already loaded on the trailer and when we did point out the seat problem at the drop off spot it was too late for us or Jarrett to do anything about it. We definitely learned our lesson not to trust this outfitter with the equipment they rent. You need to check everything before you leave their shop. I gave them 2-stars because In spite of the equipment issues it is a fantastic experience. Enjoy, but do your inspections!!!

    The perfect place for a relaxing day with the family!…read more I've been coming to Paradise Canyon since I was 5 years old, and although I hadn't visited since 2019, I was able to bring my family today. It was just as beautiful as I remembered. This place truly lives up to its name. Paradise Canyon is privately owned, family-oriented, and offers something for everyone. There are shallow areas where kids can safely swim and play, as well as deeper sections for adults who want to swim or practice their strokes. The grounds are well maintained, the restrooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can spend the entire day relaxing and making memories with your family. I would recommend Paradise Canyon again and again. It's a true Texas gem.

It was crowded but still a great time, we expected that. I had an encounter with one of the older staff, Laura - she was rude, condescending and incredibly impatient with my responses. Zero customer service skills, highly encourage the owners to train her up in how to speak to customers. I understand it was a busy day, but she seemed to be the only one who was in a horrible mood. If you can't control your emotions on the busiest days, then customer service based careers should not be your job. She seemed upset when I said we would only spend a few hours there, she rolled her eyes at me (I have 3 small children). She seemed upset that I had to move my car to a better parking spot even tho SHE asked me to and I happily obliged. She seemed annoyed that someone parked me in and I asked if she could direct me to their table so that I could ask them to let me out and then proceeded to speak to me like I don't know how to drive a vehicle. All around very rude.
