This was an amazing experience from beginning to end. It was so easy we just booked online and the owner walked us through then entire thing. He was available 24.7 and just so a awesome in every single way. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time by providing drop pins and fun ideas on water. The pricing is beyond fair and everything is great quality. I will recommend this for anyone and everyone who even mentions austin to me. Thank you mark ❤️

Great outfitter in Austin! Bought a new Atoll SUP board from here and the customer service is excellent!

We had a great time on the paddle boards! Mark was very thorough and helpful in suggesting which boards to try. The process is pretty easy.. if you like diy. Be aware that the amount of time from board pick up to actually being on the water is roughly a minimum of 30 minutes if going to town lake, which is the closest body of water. Sunset was a gorgeous time to get on the water..

This is awesome! I got the 2 person raft and it was awesome. Definitely not a dinky piece of inflatable junk - I kayaked for 6 hours straight and she was a study vessel all day, didn’t refill or anything. You pick up the items in a shipping container with codes provided after ordering. Very easy, convenient experience. If you’re used to waiting in a long line of tourists to get an hourly kayak rental, I recommend considering Greenbelt.

This was an incredible time! I loved how easy it was to go through a self-guided, self-serviced experience like this. It was so hassle free and fun! I loved how knowledgeable and helpful Greenbelt Outdoors was, since we were completely new to this and how we were able to see parts of Austin we wouldn’t have normally because we had the freedom to go where we wanted. Totally recommend doing this yourself with them! A perfect escape and nature date.

Great place to rent and buy boards! Customer service was fantastic. Mark was responsive and got back to us right away on a holiday weekend with various options from renting to buying - which was have done both. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an inflatable paddle board in Austin.

Quick and easy experience. Was able to pick up 3 paddle boards and load them in my mini, with a full car! Host was helpful through the pick up process. Loved being able to pick up items and go where we please. Thanks again!

We loved it so much we went two days in a row. The self guided tour made us feel secure while also allowing the freedom to explore without a big group/guide. We had a blast. The only thing I recommend is checking your gear before you make the small hike down. Make sure you have everything before you leave. The owner will also ask you to do this to ensure it all goes smoothly. I will definitely be doing this again soon.

Great experience, and quick to respond for any questions you have.

Review №11

Awesome experience, service, and quality gear. Be prepared to plan for the timing of inflating your board/raft and possibly returning the carrying bag to your vehicle before launch as they are quite large for the raft. Repacking everything was a little tricky, but that’s to be expected with inflatable gear (just be sure to allow for ample time and patience). I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!

Mark and Mike were very knowledgeable about the equipment they suggested for our 4 person family. Wife and I took our 4 and 2 yr old out on the inflatable kayaks and it was AWESOME! Very good equipment, they flew through the water and light weight. Super easy to pump w the electric pump they provided. Very good price too. We rented for 4 hours and it was perfect! Would highly recommend Greenbelt Outdoors!!

Awesome kayak rental. Self service, the owner is very responsive to any questions and was extremely fair when I accidentally broke the paddle. The inflatable kayak was good for going down some of the rapids in Barton Creek. I will definitely rent from Mark and Greenbelt Outdoors again.

We loved the Kokapelli 2 person inflatable kayak we rented from Greenbelt Outdoors. It was not cheap but that may be the going the rate in Austin and it was missing the fin and the manual pump (the staff should Have a checklist and do a double check before letting customers leave) But we asked for an automatic pump which was added in at no extra charge and worked great and Mark was very responsive and helped us a lot with picking out spots to go. I would rent from them again.

Review №21

Such a great experience!! We rented the stand up paddle board for 3 hours and it was so worth it! The paddle board was sturdy and had enough room for us to sunbathe and relax on the water. On the way back, we were paddling against the current so we got back 40 mins after our end time. Darren was super understanding and nice about it, did not rush us at all and responded super quick while we were out there! Once we got back, he greeted us warmly and didn’t even charge us for being late. Great experience and great customer service!

If you’re looking to rent or buy this is the place to do it! I looked at serval different places. I called him he answered. Asked him a few different things decided to stop by. He has great pricing and a variety of different styles of boards. 2nd experience! I ended up needing a new pump for it he honored the warranty and replaced the pump no questions asked! If you’re needing to rent or looking to buy this is the place to shop! I looked at a few different places and this was the best place by far!

Review №24

This was great, the only problem was, no one checks the boats after each return. So my kayak was trashed and it had no fins.. the fins really make a difference on the inflatable kayaks. But it was fun and I’ll use them again. Next time I’ll just check the kayak to make sure it has everything before I leave the storage unit

Mark is a professional with a super innovative business model.He took the time to explain the ins and outs of a product I was interested in. After I purchased, he drove over to his place to pick up my kayak and personally met me out on the dock to ensure I could set everything up for my first ride. Highly recommend if you want to support a local small business that’s on the rise!

I am an experienced paddler with all of my own gear so I was looking for a specific type of guided tour. Although they had a wide variety of rentals and tours it did not meet my needs, I felt compelled to write a positive review because I reached out via Facebook message and the company was so so friendly and helpful providing me a wealth of information and suggestions elsewhere.

This is the spot! My wife and I had a few hours to kill but didn’t want to wait in line at Austin’s typical spots to rent a paddle board. I saw Greenbelt Outdoors and realized there was no line. In fact there were no people. Like a gift from Zeus himself, thy struck down a self serve drop zone to grab your gear. The process was easier than hitting 16 rotations on Tigers:Skip-It ™️ . We showed up to some high tech locks, did a thing and it popped open. Inside was glorious. It was like this is where the Honjo Masamune Sword had been hidden. We walked to our designated lockers and did that thing again. Pop. Bags and pumps were ready. I was ready. The plans were executing flawlessly. I should note this is top gear. The pump was like none I’ve seen before. This sassy thing blew our boards up within seconds. If this pump would have been around on April 15, 1912 bolted to the bow of the Titanic, you could have flipped it on for a few seconds pointing eastward and the purifying expelled gusts would’ve rotated the 52 ton Hog Mama of a ship stoping the unspeakable from happening. Pure power. The boards performance were excellent and the paddles were precise. This will be the place I use moving forward and would highly recommend to anyone that’s looking to skip the line and get on the water with the newest gear. You can’t beat the price either.Mark was incredibly nice. I had to call him for something and he picked up immediately and assisted. This guy has truly set up a brilliant thing here and we look forward to our next visit.

Highly recommend it! We rented inflatable packrafts to watch the 4th of July fireworks from the lake, and had an absolute blast.Mark is super helpful. He helped us choose between the rental options (kayaks, packrafts) and sent videos with instructions on how to inflate it. He was also available to answer all our questions.It was really easy to reserve the rentals online and pickup/drop off at the lockers.Biggest Pro: we could do 24 hr rental and avoid the long lines and early closures for rentals on the lake. The packrafts were super easy to inflate and carry with us.Definitely going back to try out kayaks and SUPs.

My boyfriend and I had some family in town and last minute we wanted to take them out on the lake. Not realizing that majority of the places to rent gear is only open on the weekend, we were able to reach out to Greenbelt Outdoors and book two kayaks, a SUP, and a little boat within hours of heading out on the water.Mark took great care of us and went above and beyond in helping us out!Pick up was easy, drop-off was a breeze, the time frame and cost to rent were very fair. Even when we did have questions, Mark was available and very quick to respond and guide us through the process.We will continue to use this service and will continue to recommend to others!Thank you for your help Mark!

Had such a lovely sunset paddle board tour with Mark and company! I came to the event by myself and was a little nervous as I have only paddle boarded once before, but instantly felt included. Mark was able to get us all out on the water easily with no mishaps. Luckily, we had a pretty warm Halloween night, so the colony did in fact take flight. Very cool experience being on the water, and seeing all the bats fly around the trees, across the water, and into the city. Would definitely recommend!!

Have had two experiences with Greenbelt Outdoors and both were great. First, I rented a Kokopelli Rogue Lite for a casual jaunt on the Colorado just below Longhorn Dam. For the second, I rented a Kokopelli Recon and joined Greenbelt Outdoors owner Mark on Barton Creek for his packraft meetup. We had a great time and the Kokopelli packrafts proved themselves capable of standing up to some Class II-III whitewater.Self-serve inflatable rentals is an impressively innovative business model and incredibly convenient. You can pick up your rental any time 24/7, then take it and use it anywhere you want. All of the gear you’ll need is included in one convenient package, including your watercraft, paddle, PFD, automatic or hand pump, and a bag to carry it all in. Also, Greenbelt rents top-tier equipment that you won’t find available to rent anywhere else.Highly recommend.

Great customer service. I rented 4 paddle boards for the day, and was running a bit late, but when I got there Mark had everything pumped and ready to go. He even came out on the water and gave us some tips and routes to take since it was our first time going. I will definitely be renting again!

Such a fantastic experience! My boyfriend and I drove 3 hours from Houston to Austin so that I could celebrate my 30th birthday. I was very bummed to find out that all of the typical stand up paddle board rental places were closed until at least next week. On a whim, I found out about Greenbelt Outdoors! Their rental process was so easy and efficient! I absolutely loved their detailed instructions and quick communication. I’ve never used an inflatable stand up paddle board before, but theirs was such good quality - I felt extremely safe on it! It comes with a paddle, pump, and life jacket! Greenbelt Outdoors will be my go to place to rent from every time I visit Austin now!

Greenbelt Outdoors is a new innovative way to rent inflatable floatation devices. Mark makes the process extremely easy, giving you all the information needed to pick up your equipment in a smooth process at your own convenience. Personally renting the Hydrus Paddle Board (SUP), the equipment is top of line and everything you need for a great adventure in Austin, TX. The equipment is a daily rate and price wise will beat any other vendors around the area. Greenbelt Outdoors is a self served business, making it the only place to rent your needed equipment during the COVID-19 situation. Will definitely be back to use Greenbelt Outdoor’s services in the near future and hope this review will entice others to rent from Greenbelt Outdoors and make it their new rental go to!

THEIR SUP RENTALS ARE THE BEST IN THE AREA. Premium SUP rentals that are the best inflatables on the market. Just rented out the 2 Person Twain for my dog and I. Super easy experience. Ordered through Ruckify so I got 35 bucks off the first rental. Came with an automatic pump that filled the boat in 1 minute. Total setup was 5 minutes and I was on the water. Mark gave me recommendations to put in and explore.The best and only Packraft Rentals in the state!The self-serve option is awesome! Dont have to wait in lines and can take the gear anywhere. Pretty cool concept and these packrafts are very fun, lightweight, and super high quality. They have the best SUPs Ive seen on the market too! Sol Paddle boards. Thanks again!They even have dog life vests to rent :)
