Why We Love This Unique Experience

Experience the enchanting world of Austin's bat colonies in a unique way with a Guided Sunset Bat Kayak Tour. This extraordinary adventure allows participants to glide over the serene waters of Lady Bird Lake while marveling at the breathtaking splendor of the Downtown Austin skyline. As the sun sets, witness the incredible emergence of 1.5 million Mexican Free-Tailed bats from the iconic Congress Avenue Bridge – an awe-inspiring sight that is truly one-of-a-kind.

The tour begins with a brief and informative safety briefing by an experienced guide, after which each kayaker will hop into their tandem or single kayak and embark on an unforgettable journey. Paddle through the picturesque waters, with the gentle ambiance of the outdoors around you. Your guide will share intriguing facts about the local bat colony and the natural ecosystem, making this not just a tour, but a learning experience as well. Imagine gliding through the water as the sky turns brilliant shades of orange and pink, all while being surrounded by nature’s wonders and the lively city backdrop.

This Guided Sunset Bat Kayak Tour is not only an exhilarating experience for adventurers but also makes an ideal gift for those who appreciate nature, wildlife, or simply want to check something extraordinary off their bucket list. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or even as a thoughtful surprise for someone special, this unique tour offers memories that will last a lifetime.
