Renting a two-person kayak from Tampa River Walk Rentals turned out to be an amazing choice for experiencing the city from a new perspective, especially during the River OâGreen event. Kiefer, our contact at the rental, deserves a special shout-out for his exceptional service. His helpfulness and knowledge not only made the rental process seamless but also enhanced our paddling experience.

Whether you're a seasoned kayaker or trying it for the first time, you're in good hands with Kiefer...

He took care of our things for us, gave us brief instructions, and helped us to easily dock after I was having some issues navigating the paddle boarding. He was also especially helpful over the phone providing directions, and reassuring us we would still be able to paddle boarding despite the unforseen traffic jams. He even offered to reschedule our reservation for a different day due to our arrival being closer to the closing window and only allowing for 30 minutes of paddle boarding (which was all we really desired anyhow). It was a super...
