As a visitor from Phoenix this was a very fun experience. It’s scheduled for 1-hour but to ensure we got a full experience we got to stay out for an additional 30 minutes. Our Captain ‘Crunch’ was excellent, she was knowledgeable of her job and the sites she told us about along the way. Highly recommended. We also participated in the BYOB, we stopping at the closest corner store and poured our beverages in a styrofoam cup.

Captain Rob was charming and knowledgeable. He kept things going, while we waited for the bats to fly. He piloted the boat very calmly and kept everybody entertained. I would highly recommend using him if you want to see the bats and learn all about how awesome nature is.

Great tour, took my dad, stepmom and their best friend on the tour when they were visiting me in Austin and our Captain went above beyond to put us right in the center of all the bat cinematics, informative and entertaining. Right on schedule to over a million bats fly out for their night out on the town :). Highly recommend as must-see in Austin. Thank you Lonestar Riverboats for giving a memorative event for my family

My co-worker and I went on a bat tour while visiting in Austin for a conference. We had heard from another co-worker who visited the year prior that this was a worthwhile experience that was not to be missed! Our tour was piloted by Captain Christine. Her unique sense of humor was thoroughly enjoyed as she shared the history of the area while we sailed up and down the Colorado River. I loved learning all about the Mexican Free-Tail Bats. Seeing the bats fly out from under the bridge at sundown was like nothing else I have ever seen before. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind activity while in Austin. It is rather inexpensive at $13 for an adult ticket for an hour-long tour.

We did the bat cruise and Kristy was our captain. She was hilarious. The perfect mix of factual and sarcastic as she shared many sassy quips. It was a nice “hands free” way to experience the bats - I highly recommend it.

I’ve lived in Austin for years and didn’t know 89% of what our tour guide/captain said on our sunset bat tour. It was an absolutely lovely experience. And beyond how amazing the ride, bats, views, and presentation was—my group of friends accidentally reserved one fewer seat than we needed, but they were so accommodating and made sure I got on. Will definitely go in the future again and recommend to everyone!

We had a great time. Communication from the providers was great because we were delayed but for a good reason -- to allow for us to see the bats. The host for our boat was friendly with a sense of humor. All in all I'd recommend the tour; after all we got to see many bats.

My family and I had a great time on the bat cruise! Our guide was funny and informative with information about Austin and the different buildings along the skyline, which we all enjoyed. We've lived in Austin for less than a year and learned so many new things. And, the bats were awesome! Such a fun experience!
