Austin Downtown Tandem Kayak Bat-Watching Tour

We had such a good time! It was well organised, perfectly timed with the bats and we got a lot of fun facts about the city and the bats along the way. Definitely an upgrade from seeing it from the bridge - highly recommend!

Recommended, it is much better to see the bats from the water than from the bridge. The guides had some red colored light which helped us to see the bats dropping and flying from under the bridge. The skyscrapper view on the way back was spectacular at night. They provided water, which was very nice as well. It was a little chilly on the way back even though the temperature went up to 30C during the day. I highly recommend you to take your phones in a water tight bag with you. We did not and i regret that. If you are in doubt, just book it!

Really enjoyed the time on the lake. DEFINITELY BRING CLOTHES TO CHANGE INTO. My daughter wore jeans, bad choice, your crotch with be soaked, so wear water friendly attire. They have a dressing room so you can get into dry clothes afterward, do that. Friendly guides!

I really enjoyed the sunset kayak , beautiful view of downtown Austin , our guide gave us some free time to paddle around before we met up under the bridge, where we learned about the history of the bats.

My wife, our 13-year-old, and I signed up. We were worried about having three people and how we would split up. But the group was kind enough to give our 13 year-old her own kayak and we could tether it whenever she got tired. It was quite the experience to watch the bats from the water like that. I didn’t give five stars because, even though they took our photo, it wasn’t on the website later for us to use. Also, when we finally oared up to the tour guide giving the lesson on bats, he told us to move over to another group (maybe because he didn’t think we were part of the group). Either way, it was pretty unfortunate to be turned away.
