Guidet Sunset Bat Kajak-tur i Austin

It was fun and cool to kayak around and learn info about austin and the bats. The tour guide was really nice and informative The one down side is we were late to seeing the bats come out, which was the reason for doing to tour and we missed the coolest part and im disappointed about that. I know you never know exactly when the bats come out but we should have been there waiting when the sun set. We still saw a lot of bats coming out but it was already dark by the time we were fully underneath all of the action. Would have been night at the start when there was still a little bit of light. Im actually really really disappointed. They should have given us some sort of future discount or a slight refund for missing what we payed to come and see but they didnt do anything about it.

From start to finish, the tour was entertaining and professional. We learned so much from Katie. She did an amazing job.😀

Great kayaking experience—perfect for beginners. Going in early August meant we got to see tons of bats since it was right after birthing season. Ethan was a great guide! It was a fun way to see the city and learn a bit about it while waiting for the bats to take off. As others mentioned, our group did wind up being larger than 12–probably close to double that—which was fine, but is different than the listing.

The tour was great, perfect for us. Our guide, Lauren, was friendly and knowledgeable about Austin’s river, buildings and bats. Would highly recommend - appreciated duration and beginner friendly level.

My partner and I are spending our first week in Austin and we’d read about the bats at Congress Avenue bridge so we had this down as a must do! When looking for places to see them, watching on the water seemed like the best spot. After some research we found Austin Rowing Club and I’m so glad that we did!! From the minute we walked up, the staff were so friendly and helpful, giving us water for the tour and also dry bags to protect our valuables. Our tour guide Ethan was incredible; super funny, super friendly and super informative. Ethan definitely made this tour worth the money, and he helped to make me feel more comfortable when I was really nervous (having never kayaked before.) We didn’t expect to learn so much about Austin during the tour either, so this was a really great addition! For anybody undecided about whether to do this I’d say it’s a must! Thank you Austin Rowing Club & Thank you Ethan for a fantastic evening!

Incredibly helpful and kind staff! Unfortunately our tour was cancelled and refunded due to a city water ban that Austin Rowing Club could not control, but they notified us when they could and we went a couple days later when they were open again! 10/10 highly recommend visiting here!!

Can’t say enough good things about Austin Rowing Club! They have such friendly staff members who are ready and eager to help both new and experienced paddlers. The bat tour gave us so much great information about the history of Austin, along with so many fun bat facts! The guides were funny and kept the tour moving at a great pace. 10/10 recommend!

I had a wonderful time on the water. Our guide Ethan gave the best tour a boy could ask for. He was kinda cute too🙈

I had an amazing time and would recommend everyone to see Austin from this unique angle.

It was disappointing because The Tour was cancelled and we did not get the experience. Then we were told that it could take 10 days for a refund.
