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.

From: $0.00

Location: Austin

What's Included

We provide the kayak, paddles, life jackets and lights. We also take high quality photos for you and send them to you at the end of the night.

Q&A

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather's bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather isn't cooperating. Just reach out to Boats and Bats at least 24 hours in advance, and they’ll help you find another date. They want to make sure everyone has a great time on the water, so they’re pretty flexible about it!

Q: What's a good age limit for this experience?

A: The minimum age is usually around 10 years old, but younger kids can join if they're in a double kayak with an adult. It's a great family activity! Just make sure the kiddos can handle a bit of paddling.

Q: What do you wear for this kayak tour?

A: Wear something comfortable and quick-drying since you might get splashed! A swimsuit with a light cover-up works great. Don't forget to bring a hat and sunscreen for the sun, even if it’s sunset time. Also, think about water shoes or sandals that won’t slip off easily.

Just did the Downtown Austin Sunset Kayak Tour - Amazing!

I took the Downtown Austin Sunset Kayak Tour last week, and it was incredible! The views of the skyline at sunset were just breathtaking. The bats came out just as promised, and it was such a cool experience seeing them fly out from under the bridge! They took some awesome photos for us too, which was a nice touch. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves the outdoors!

Thinking of gifting the kayak tour for my friend's birthday!

I’m considering this Downtown Austin Sunset Kayak Tour for my friend's birthday, and it sounds perfect. She loves nature and has never been kayaking before. Is it easy for beginners? How long does the tour really last? Just want to make sure she’ll have a blast!
