Just did the Bat Bridge Paddleboard Tour—amazing experience!

I went on the Bat Bridge Paddleboard Tour last weekend and it was incredible! The guides were super chill and gave us great info about the bats. We paddled out just before sunset, and seeing the city skyline against the twilight was breathtaking. The bats started flying out from under the bridge right on cue—it felt magical! Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a unique experience in Austin!

Considering gifting the Bat Bridge Tour—any tips?

I’m thinking of getting my boyfriend the Bat Bridge Paddleboard Tour for his birthday. We love being outdoors! What should I know? Is it challenging? Any tips on what to wear or bring?
