Q&A
A: There's no strict age limit! Kids can definitely join as long as they're comfortable on the water. I saw families there with kids as young as 8. Just make sure they can handle a kayak or paddleboard, and it’s a great way to introduce them to nature and the bats!
A: Parking can be a bit tricky! There’s a lot at the tour launch site, but it fills up quickly in the evenings. I recommend getting there about 30 minutes early to snag a spot. If you can, rideshare is a good option, especially on weekends!
A: Yes, they do reschedule if the weather isn’t cooperating! I had to push mine back due to storms one time, but they were super accommodating. They’ll contact you if there’s an issue and work to find a new time that fits your schedule.

Thinking of gifting the Kayak or Paddle Board Sunset Bat Tour!
I’m considering this bat tour for my brother’s birthday! He loves the outdoors and has never seen the bats under the Congress Bridge. It’s around $65 per person, right? I’ve heard the views are stunning, especially at sunset. Just wondering if it’s beginner-friendly since he’s never kayaked before. Any tips?
Just did the sunset bat tour—what an experience!
I went on the Kayak Sunset Bat Tour last weekend, and it was amazing! Paddling out to the South Congress Bridge right at sunset was breathtaking. Plus, the guides gave us cool facts about the bats and the local area. Bring a light jacket for later when it gets a bit chilly on the water. Highly recommend it for anyone in Austin!
