Our family of four, including both adults and children, thoroughly enjoyed the sunset kayak adventure. From the beginning, the organization was exceptional, with clear video instructions for parking and locating the guide that made the entire process seamless. The kayaks and equipment were well-maintained, allowing us to go at our own pace. Even the less experienced members of our group felt at ease and actively participated. The staff were knowledgeable, supportive, and instilled confidence in everyone. They captured wonderful photos of us, which was a delightful surprise, and shared intriguing information about bats. Witnessing them emerge from beneath the bridge at such close range was enchanting. This experience created lasting memories for our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it.
The trip was very enjoyable despite the somewhat chaotic start for getting everyone onto the water. Our guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable, and we observed many bats. I should mention that the return row was challenging due to the darkness and a headwind, totaling about 3 miles of rowing. Overall, it was an amazing experience.
This has been on our bucket list for a long time, and it exceeded our expectations! The experience was enchanting, and the guides provided helpful insights while ensuring our safety and comfort. While kayaking back, we admired the lights of downtown during a tranquil paddle. We would definitely do this again!

We had an incredible time. The experience was enhanced by Rob and Ross, who made it even more enjoyable. I strongly suggest booking with their team; it was both informative and entertaining.
Ross, our tour guide, was fantastic! The check-in was friendly and efficient, accommodating everyone. Throughout the tour, he provided fascinating insights about both Austin and the bats. Using a motorized board, he easily checked on us while we paddled. He also captured pictures of us during the sunset, and the return trip in the dark was stunning.
