Get Capt. Shelby! We had a great time. Capt Shelby gave a wonderful tour. Great value. I would have given them 5 stars but the time spent just sitting on the boat was way too long. Other than that it was all perfect! Highly recommend.

If you want a brief tour of the downtown skyline and to see a ton of bats pouring out to go eat, do this. You sit on plastic chairs and it's very relaxing. The tour guide is interesting, with info about the city and the bats. BYOB.

We were traveling with our dog, Juke, and made our reservation for the bat cruise before getting to Austin. Once there we were concerned he would bark too much if we left him. Lone Star’s website clearly stated the fare was not refundable but I decided to call under the circumstances. I talked to Joy who was very understanding and helpful. THANK YOU, JOY!!!

It was a great experience. Our tour guide/boat captain was energetic and knoweledgable about the lake, shoreline/skyline and the bats. It was cold and rainy so the bats never really came out, but we did see a few come out. I wish I had come when it was warmer but other than that it was a great time. Deffently worth it even with the cold and rain. Will do again if I am ever back in this area. Got great pictures as the captain would position the boat just for the great photo spots.

This was a really nice and romantic experience I booked the moonlight one I think it's called. It was a very quiet and peaceful ride. Good idea for a couple's date. We did it on my husband's birthday and it was good be alone just the 2 of us no kids away from the chaos lol

I went for the weekend afternoon sightseeing tour with my family. The day was really cold but we still enjoyed a lot. As appreciated by everyone, the jokes by our guide were great. We got really good views of the Austin downtown skyline along with history of park, bridges, buildings, bats, and city itself. We enjoyed the hour and it felt like only a few minutes. I would recommend this to everyone. Tip: Arrive early to get the upper deck seating. Bring along drinks if you want. Check Groupon for deals on ticket.

BYOB, staff were nice and seemed knowledgeable. Wear a hood. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area who hasn’t seen the bats.

We were in Austin for a family gathering. Captain Shelby on the "Little Star" was our host for a fun and interesting bat tour. The bats were cooperative and our view was the best. A perfect way to spend a few hours after dinner in downtown Austin Tx.
