Downtown Austin Sunset Kayak Tour with 1.5 Million Bats
Welcome to Austin's #1 Booked Experience.
This 2.5 hour kayaking trip through downtown is magical. We start by paddling the length of the Austin skyline during the golden hour, then stop to watch the sunset.
We then get into position for the best bat viewing and give a speech all about the bats just before they all fly out. We can usually time the bat flight perfectly so you have more time to explore the rest of the skyline.
On the way home, we encourage you to take your time and take a few breaks to watch the cities lights come to life when the skyscrapers turn on their lights.

Watch this video on this page which shows you where to park and where to find me. The video is VERY HELPFUL. www.boatsandbats.com/tonight (Copy & Paste!) We will be under the highway bridge at the water's edge. I have a white truck and white trailer and a lot of boats already in the water. Reminder to watch the meet up video! Because this is a sunset based tour and because the bats' habits adapt to the current weather, the actual start time of your tour should be considered approximate.
