San Antonio's popular river kayak tours shut down

The latest: Owner Sarah Neal cites high insurance rates for the shuttles required for certain routes and the difficulty of maintaining staff during San Antonio's scorching summers as key factors behind the closure.

• While there are no immediate plans to bring back the tours, Neal tells Axios she's received offers from potential buyers since announcing the closure.

What they're saying: Customers are expressing their disappointment both on social media and directly to Neal. She says many have shared that they became avid kayakers after their experience with Mission Kayak.

• "In all honesty, I think San Antonio deserves a really good, strong kayak company," Neal says.
