Kayak Branson

"This low review isn't reflective of the 8-mile experience we had on the river (which was beautiful and worth the time), but the company's logistics. Since the driver scheduled for our 10am trip never arrived, one of the other Area 71 employees had to drive us to our start location 30 minutes late. After we finished our trip, we called the number on the kayak and were unable to reach anyone. We called the Area 71 store and they sent an employee who was near the end of their shift, and they informed us that there were about 10 people that were kayaking on the lake with no new employees coming to pick up the next shift, effectively leaving them stranded. If you decide to use this company for your kayaking tour, expect a coin toss as to whether you will encounter issues going to and from the drop-off and pick-up sites."

"We had a great time. It was a beautiful day. If you venture off into the cove to the left we saw lots of wildlife and found a place to swim. Its absolutely beautiful. Only downside to it all is having to drag your kayak up and down the ramp. Only a small inconvenience though. I will definitely cone back again!"

"We enjoyed our 2 hour float on Lake Taneycomo. We were taken in a nice shuttle vehicle by Tony. He was a kind and safe driver, who explained explicitly the how to’s of this trip. The temp was very hot that afternoon, however the float was enjoyable due to the lake’s cool temp of 47 degrees year round. The current was perfect, and we merely steered our kayaks making it a relaxing float trip. There was very little water traffic. The water was beautiful and very clear, enabling us to see a multitude of trout. Tony timely picked us up once we reached our destination. The kayaks are new and comfortable. This was a unique and family friendly experience while in Branson. Highly recommend!"

"My family had a great experience kayaking the Taneycomo. The temperature was 106 degrees but on the water it was much cooler. They had new kayaks and air conditioned vans. We had a great driver, Tony, that brought to and from the lake. The current had a nice flow to it, so we didn’t have to paddle very much. We got to take in the lake’s beautiful water and surrounding scenery. We had about two hours of fun before arriving at the designated pick up spot where Tony met us and drove us back to our car. My family has been on numerous kayaking trips and this location is one of the best so far because of their excellent service and a breathtaking environment. I highly recommend Kayak Branson for your kayaking adventure!"
