No call, no attempt to reschedule, nothing. Completely unprofessional and I would book with caution if I were you. I had to reschedule with competitor's services.

Our most recent adventure was interrupted by storms, but they gave us as much "make up time" on the water as we wanted. Also, we recently bought one kayak of our own and they were very helpful giving us pointers on how to safely secure it to our rack. We love Killin' It Kayaks and will continue to rent from them on a regular basis!

They are super nice and friendly, and when we forgot our sunblock, they gave us some that someone had left behind. They didn't try to sell us any. It's $10 per hour per rental, which is super cheap. Everything was clean and in great shape. You go to their store, and then follow them in your own car to the lake. It's a one minute drive. Then they help you into the yak and off you go. They either come back to get the yaks at the time you want, or you can call or text them to come back. Great people, great experience, great price, great equipment. What else could you ask for?!?!

The workers were knowledgeable and friendly, make sure you bring cash to tip. Our trip was during an overcast day with calm waters and it took us about two hours on the dot with a child and an adult in each kayak. Make sure you wear sunscreen, bring a bottle of water, and your sunglasses or a hat. I wore my bathing suit with a cotton dress on top, best idea ever (your butt gets pretty soaked) All in all, a great way to start the day. I'll be back to ride with the goats!!

A lady with a clipboard standing near a picnic table, which we were supposed to know worked there, but didn't know because it was our first time. And she wasn't wearing anything like a labeled shirt that would inform us she worked there. Also being our first time there we were not familiar with the route of the river and no one asked us or offered advice. When I did ask them which way to go, I was asked "Didn't you see the map?" Apparently I was supposed to see a map mural on the side of the building, but missed it when trying to figure out how to checkin. They also didn't mention the whitecaps in the lake or that there were restaurants along the way. The river route was very busy with boaters and other kayakers. There was also a very low bridge you have to duck under. On the positive side, we found it was nice to be able to kayak to the Castaways restaurant. They have a public kayak dock to pull up to, it was great. They have good food too. It was okay, but not welcoming for new people who are not familiar with the area.
