Signed up for the bat tour and it did not disappoint!! John was a great guide and very approachable and friendly! Great storytelling throughout the tour with fun facts! I’d highly recommend this if you want to be in awe of the 1.5 million bats that Austin’s known for! A good 3 hours out and back. Be aware that there are large amounts of moss/seaweed/plantlife that can get stuck on your paddle but it is easy to remove if you dunk in the paddle and back out.

Booked the Austin Bat watching Tour with my friend and we had an AMAZING TIME. As someone who never kayaked before Joseph the tour guide was really easy going and helpful to learn from. Loved how Joseph provided a relaxed atmosphere that gave our group room to learn and experiment with our kayaks while also giving stops with cool bat facts and Austin history. Also if you’re visiting Austin and want to see the bats this route is the way to go. You not only get to see the bats from a unique location below the bridge but you also have beautiful sunset water views and an unforgettable Austin Skyline during the journey there and back, which I find the trip to be worth it.

Our trip was even better than I imagined it would be. Our guide, John, was super knowledgable and helpful. The entire set up with being able to walk to the dock and the length of paddle to the bridge and back were perfection!

Shout out to John, our sunset bat tour guide. We had an amazing time. The kayaks were comfortable, the equipment was in great condition. John provided lots of information about the city and Austin's progression, the bats, local wildlife, and more. He was funny, engaging, and, unlike other tours I've been on, was a bit more relaxed and provided some exploration freedom, rather than having to stay the whole time as a tight group. Seeing the bats come out from the water was extraordinary. Be sure to ask for John when you go. It's a MUST do in Austin.

We had a great time on the Bat Tour. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable. It's a laid back paddle, easy for any age. Perfect for my kids. The dock is a little farther than the other tours going on. Would recommend this Tour..

Definitely a must do when you’re in Austin. We did the evening bat tour. We had a relaxing paddle down to the bridge. Our guide was informative about the local wildlife. Then we hung out at the bat viewing site until the bats flew. It’s an amazing sight. Then after dark we paddled back to the dock. The night skyline and lights made it a nice trip back to the dock.

This was our 4th time taking the evening bat tour - our out of town guest loved it!! The experience provides an amazing view of the bats. John our tour guide was excellent - very knowledgeable about Austin & the bats. We will be back!!

Great staff, friendly and accommodating! They take your safety seriously which is important. Me and my group went out on the water on a windy day and they gave us great tips. They did not pick up the phone when we called to find out if they were open, we kept getting a voicemail on a loop but we just drove over and saw they were open even in windy day which was awesome. Prices are by the hour and they charge you by 15 minute increments.

We had a lovely experience! Would definitely book again with this place. Thank you! My hearing isn’t the best, our tour guides name was either Josh or John and he was awesome!

John was an amazing guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Answered many of my questions and more. I cannot recommend this bat tour enough! Saw so many bats and the combination with the skyline, a gorgeous experience.
