DO NOT LET THEM SHUTTLE YOUR CAR. Booked this trip on a recommendation from the cabin lodge owner…read morewhere we stayed. We wanted to use someone that was Reputable and also as the owner of the cabin said it was one of his friends. So we thought let's give them our business since the cabin owner recommended. We did not notice immediately that there was a lot of front end damage until we got on the highway and heard my bottom of front bumper dragging. Once we looked we noticed the entire front bumper was detached. We had a bungee cord because we needed it to float, so we had to bungie my bumper together. Called owner and was met with hostility and they said they would absolutely not take responsibility. WE PAID EXTRA TO HAVE THE CAR SHUTTLED. Do not recommend and we will NEVER give them our business again. The owner also stated when we told them we would be by tomorrow to make a police report, "good luck with that." Horrible way to operate a business when you pay extra for them to drive your vehicle.

My family and I were just pleased with this business. Super polite and reasonable priced rentals.read more

We had an excellent time out on the Buffalo River through the Buffalo River Float Service. I called…read morebeforehand and the girl who answered was super friendly, knowledgeable and answered my many questions. After maybe 3 or 4 times calling them throughout the course of a day (yes, I can sometimes be that person - not always, I promise!), we finally booked. We rented 2 single kayaks for a Sunday morning. Once we got there, we actually decided to push back the time for the 3 hours float vs. the original 5 we booked. Once the time came for our float, there was a school bus out in the parking lot, and a number of hopped on. The driver was very accommodating and told us a great deal of info. After going through the woods, we made it to our destination in what looked like the middle of nowhere. We hopped out, she told us how to find the destination point for pick up and what all to look out for in the water. They picked us up shortly after we finished our float and we were headed back to Houston!

Great for cookouts and kayaking, not that far from restaurants and foodmarkets aswell, 5/5 for meread more

This place is awesome!!! Best kept secret in NWA. Forget the Elk River and all the drunk red necks!…read moreThis place is perfect for families or those who jus can't stand drunk people. We rented from Gypsy Canoe (see my review). Until we get more experience, we'll continue to rent from Gypsy. The Kayak Park has a few rapids for exposure. You can actually roll if you don't maneuver in the Dwight section if it. The good news is the water is fairly calm so there's no scary current to drag and keep you under.

The person who took my reservation on the phone was fantastic. When we got to their main location, the girls who helped get us ready were outstanding. There was one person in particular, who was so incredibly helpful and put us at ease. When you finish up your registration you can use the restrooms at their store and there's plenty of merchandise that you can buy, both things that are helpful (think sunscreen, dry bags, snacks), and things that are fun, like postcards and stickers. We paid for a tandem kayak and for a valet service, which was very helpful and made it so that we had to drive to the put in place and then only had to pick up our car when we got to the end of our time. I didn't realize that the drive to the place where we would pick up the kayak and start our float (about 18 mins from the store) was over about 2 miles of a VERY bumpy, dusty, rocky road. Somebody might have mentioned it or it was in the literature, but I just missed it and was slightly worried because we just had a 2 wheel drive rental, and it was rough riding to get there so keep that in mind. When we arrived there was a pit toilet which was helpful and the guys helping with the boats were good (You might want to have some cash to give you a tip although I don't think that's expected but our guy was extra helpful.) Also I want to mention that I am plus-sized and had no problems with the kayak at all. We had an incredible time and it took us about three hours altogether including one stop along the way of about 20 minutes where we ate a snack (made sure to clean all of our trash up), swam for a while and went on our way. We went on a Tuesday at 11am and thought it was slightly crowded, it never felt overwhelming, and we were able to slow down or speed up whenever we felt that we were too close to another group. I also thought that people were respectful when they had speakers and it was never loud or obnoxious. Two things I didn't know before that I hope can help someone else. The first is that there were a couple of times when we went over fast moving water (I can't even really call it rapids, but definitely moving quickly) where we got stuck on the rocks and almost turned over. Not a huge deal and almost entirely due to our lack of experience, but just keep that in mind it's not 100% floating peacefully the entire time. Once we had that experience on the first couple times we were completely fine for the rest. The other thing is that just past the place where you pull in and drop off your kayak is a super fun area where you can paddle into a cave, jump from the rocks, and just kind of hang out. If we would've known that it was there we would've stayed around a bit longer. Again, nobody's fault Just something we didn't know beforehand. I highly recommend Buffalo River outfitters - we had a blast!

One of Branson, Mo greatest gems is this pretty little lake…read more Some of the best mornings of my life have been spent on this quite little lake; guiding kayak tours in the spring and summer months, admiring all the adorable, chicks, ducks, Heron, turtles, fish, Canada Geese, and bald eagles-it was wonderful to watch the seasons change with the chaning colors of the leaves and the changing colors on the breasts of all the waterfowl; saying good morning to all the polite and funny fly-fishermen at dawn; giggling at the beavers who would sometimes scare the cr*p outta me by splashing into the water while I was admiring a Great Blue Heron; paddling my kayak through the icey waters, myself and my kayak covered in snow, during the winter. What I really loved, during the super-hot summer months, was when they would do a dam release and the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock lake would turn Lake Taneycomo into a super-cold 40degrees stream, creating this beautiful foggy mist, making morning kayak trips gloriously romantic, refreshing, and a luxurious treat. Some may think it's a stream or a gentle river upon first inspection because there is usually a bit of a current. This is because they let do "dam releases" from Table rock lake which regulates the lake levels of Taneycomo. So, even though it moves like a river it is technically a lake since it is dammed on both sides. SUGGESTIONS: Bring a kayak. You'll see so much more. You'll never disturb the little critters. Youll get to sneek up on happy little turtle families. Make more friend with the fly-fishermen by telling them where all the great fishing holes are without disturbing the fish. Bring a camera. Enjoy!
