"Han" Solo, a GORGEOUS Austin evening and bats, bats, bats! This was so much fun! The captain was hilarious/entertaining and the information regarding the bats and tidbits on the city development and points of interest were educational. This is a great option to seeing the bats and there were many of them!!! It was the highlight of my stay in Austin. Even my Austin friends were super impressed! The city lights and skyline made for additional kodak moments! My only regret was not bringing a bottle of rose while taking in the sights and sounds.

Fun and affordable trip on down Town Lake on a ferry. You get to enjoy a great view of the Austin skyline while also being in a good spot for bat watching. Entertainment and fun facts from captain Han Solo made the whole experience ten times better. A must for any tourist!

We went to Austin for the first time and it was the FIRST thing we did when we got there. We did the regular sightseeing cruise and then the bats cruise the next day not knowing they were the same tour plus bats for like 10 min at the end. I recommend just doing the bats tour (if in season). The buildings look great all lit up and you get to see a great sunset. The boat captains are full of great information. Don't forget to tip!

Captain Alyssa was AMAZING. Definitely my party’s style of humor, engaging, and just fun to have as your captain. Seeing the bats was an incredible experience and I’m so glad we made this a priority!

Went at the last minute and was able to book two spots for the bat watching tour ( cash only). I loved the enthusiasm of the guide. The entire tour was funny and informative. I would recommend this as the best way to watch bats in Austin.

Amazing experience! Very reasonable prices for a one of a kind excursion! Went on the boat ride to see the bats and had a great time. The crew was kind, funny, and knowledgeable about Austin and the bats. I would highly recommend checking this out! Best view for the bats.

I've toured with this company twice & years apart. They are the longest running company on the lake. You could go on the bridge to watch the bats, but why? when you could pay a small price and get a short tour of the river, the city, its skyline and then get right up next to the bats on the water at sunset. They have great , enthusiastic captains and it's well worth the small price e! Check out their other available tours as well.

This was an awesome tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. She gave info about the surrounding buildings a little history about the lake as well. Obviously the coolest part was seeing the bats. We had the best possible view of the bats coming out from under the bridge. They flew right over us and as we passed back under the bridge we were even lucky enough to get peed on by the bats.

Definitely a bucket list item for me had been to see the bats leave the Congress Ave bridge. We decided to take the Lone Star boat and I’m glad we did. The captain’s jokes were corny, but he was friendly and knowledgeable. The view of the sunset and the city was awesome. The bats did not disappoint either! I was impressed and awed at hundreds of thousands of living creatures all together. It was an amazing spectacle.

My first visit to Texas worn some of our family members. They book for us the river boat your on a shiny sunny day. Almost you can get full idea to Austin from this boat tour. High rise buildings..city center...boats around you and many people relaxing on the sun reading.. Photographers.... And tourists entertainment everywhere... If I we t to Texas again I will redo another river boat tour.
