    Every year my friends do the Buffalo Bayou Regatta, every year I happen to be busy, and every year…read morethey brag about how much fun they had and I get totally jealous and promise myself that I'll do the next one. This was the year that I finally made time to race the Regatta and I'm so glad I did. Thank you, Yelp and the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, for the complimentary entries! We raced in the mixed recreational canoe division and things were CRAZY at the start. You're not allowed to put your boat in the bayou until the horn sounds, so we tied our canoe to a tree on a super steep, muddy bank and slid it down as quickly as we could. We were immediately thrown into a chaotic mass of canoes, but we managed to work our way out of the crowd and start paddling. A few seconds later, we hit another canoe that was having trouble staying straight, flipped over, and plunged into the dirty bayou water with our seventy pound canoe on top of us. Not the greatest feeling, and it took us some time to get the water out and flip the canoe back over, but we laughed about it the whole day. During the fifteen mile paddle down the bayou, it's easy to forget that you're in Houston until you pass under familiar streets and restaurants like Brenner's on the Bayou. We had a blast even once it started raining. There were slow paddlers, competitive paddlers, and paddlers in costumes, but almost everyone had one thing in common: they were grinning from ear to ear. There was a live band at the finish, free food and St. Arnold's beer, and shuttles to get back to the start. The prizes (three deep per division) were awesome and unique. Our dip in the bayou cost us about ten minutes so we ended up placing fifth, but next year we'll be out to win. Tip: It's a good idea to have a second car at the finish with dry clothes inside so you can stay and enjoy the festivities in comfort.

    I reserved online for four kayaks on a summer Saturday. I had some experience kayaking, but my…read moreguests did not. Pinky's made it so easy to reserve, communicate when we had to make a schedule change, and help my guests feel at ease on the water! They handle the kayak transportation, life jackets, quick paddling instructions, and even provided dry bags and bottle of water! The two people who run this local business are friendly common sense people, who will work with you to make the trip a good one. The price is well worth the trip! This was my second or third time using Pinky's and they were just awesome.

    I'll just start by saying Pinky's is awesome. That's my review in a nutshell…read more Now for the longer version: We rented kayaks less than 24 hours in advance and they were so accommodating. Great communication too. We showed up at Bay Area Park at our designated time (we had decided on 2pm). The boats were waiting and ready on the dock along with paddles and life jackets. We were offered a dry bag, but we brought our own. We were also given two bottles of water for the trip and loaned a map of the Bayou. We accidentally brought home the map. I need to return that to them. Anyway.... With a very easy launch, we were on the water and paddling. The bayou was low that day but there were no issues. Did you know there are bald eagles out there? We saw alligators but they kept their distance and so did we. However, we did stop to watch when two alligators got in a fight! Tails were in the air, big splashes... It was crazy. I've never seen anything like it and we got a front row seat. Absolutely amazing, y'all! I loved seeing all of the different birds. The osprey were so cool. And there were fish jumping out of the water near our boats. Just a surreal experience. Y'all gotta try Pinky's. Prices are reasonable and they're just super nice people. The experience on the bayou was so incredible, we're already planning to get back out there as soon as the weather clears up.
