The experience was awesome. Our guides were amazing, very knowledgeable about the history and wildlife which added to the experience, they were professional and concerned about our safety as it thundered a little bit but reasonable in their judgement so we could make the most of our time on the water. Would definitely recommend this outing for a great time outdoors.
Thanks Guy and Katie. Wonderful experience tonight 6/30. Great detail, peaceful night on the water and pretty awesome seeing these beautiful bat creatures fly right past you (cool sunset too).

We had a great time with Chattanooga Guided Adventures. They were great at teaching the proper ways to use your paddles in the water and gave us tips for anyone not familiar with kayaking. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable about the bats and waterways. It was a perfect opportunity to get my grandson out of the house and explore the area while with me for the summer. He enjoyed being out in the water kayaking his first time and enjoying the bats leaving the cave to feed. I just want to thank our guides and we appreciate what they do for the community.
What a great experience! Beautiful scenery, fantastic, knowledgeable guides, and lots and lots of bats. Breathtaking when the bats come out of the cave and fly all around you. We saw eagles and other wildlife as well. I went solo, but never felt "alone." I met so many nice people. I will definitely go back and will encourage everyone I know to go. Glorious evening.
Very knowledgeable guides. Take your phone so you can take pictures. It will fit in the pocket of life jacket. I didn’t and wish I did!
We had a wonderful kayak tour to the bat caves with Guy and Sam on 14th June. The guides were fantastic, the group was pleasant, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing while still being a lot of fun. Guy showed us much more than just the bats emerging from the cave. His knowledge of nature is extensive, and he shares it in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way. He is a great storyteller, and it was a pleasure listening to him throughout the tour. It was a truly memorable evening filled with atmosphere and beautiful moments. Thank you for such a great experience!
Definitely a fun and educational experience! My daughter and I had never kayaked before. Our guide was very patient and helpful! Watching the bats was such an awesome experience!
Absolutely amazing experience kayaking and seeing the bats fly out of the cave. Both Brandon and Guy were awesome guides, sharing information not only about the bats, but other birds and wildlife on the lake. I had never kayaked before, and they put me at ease. Would highly recommend!
This was such a great trip. Zach and Rachel were great guides and we saw what was promised. I would certainly recommend this tour!
