Had a great time doing the evening bat tour with our guide John! We had a smaller group but were able to go at our own pace and still get to listen in on all the bat facts with the group once we met up by the bridge. Very unique experience and fun way to get out of the heat in August!

My girlfriend and I used Live Love Paddle to rent single person kayaks this past weekend, for our first time getting out on the water here in Austin. We could not be more pleased with the experience!!! Hiiaka and Quinn were the employees that helped us out and they had very positive attitudes, informed us to our satisfaction, and generally left us with a great experience. Love them! The drop in point also is in a perfect position, with equal length trips towards the city (to the left) and towards a nature area (to the right) that includes a cool island to explore and a rope swing!

Did the bat tour and had an awesome time! Our guide was super nice and relaxed and everybody else too. Beside the bats the views of the city are spectacular and riding back in the night on the calm river was an awesome experience. Went with our two kids (5 & 6 years) and it was no problem for them. Highly recommend Live Love Paddle!!

It was fun renting from Live, Love, Paddle. It was disappointing on July 4th that the bats didn’t come out, but that’s not the company’s fault. I will warn those who are not somewhat physically fit, if you plan to go to congress bridge for the evening bat showing, buckle up lol. It’s a TRECK going back (against the slight current)

Check-in was quick and easy. Crew was very helpful and gave info based on our interests. Kayaks and paddles were in excellent condition and good for all levels of paddlers.

Did the kayak tour for the bats some years ago, one of the best things I've done. The guide was very informative. Highly recommend

This was my first time, and I loved it! Very easy process and short walk distance from the river. We did go towards the end of the day, and the person in charge was "pushy" about the time we had to be back. Mentioned it over and over, which kinda takes the fun out of the experience, so plan accordingly! Guys in decks are amazing! Easy going and very helpful! Views and vibes are awesome!

The entire staff at Live Love Paddle was amazing. Our tour guide Haka (I’m sorry for butchering your name) was such a kind fun soul who knew a lot about bats and she was a great tour guide. We highly recommend as a fun activity in Austin! Thank y’all for the great time :)

Best paddleboard/canoe/kayak shop on Ladybird Lake. Wonderful and helpful staff will get you fixed up on whatever board/boat you want. They also have lockers, drinks, changing rooms and a rest room. Their guided bat tour is also so much fun. Highly recommend that foe those who want to paddle out and see the bats fly from the water.
