11. Kayak tour of Nickajack Bat Cave near Chattanooga
4.9· 301 reviews· 2 hoursThree-mile guided kayak tour on Nickajack Lake, featuring wildlife insights and a sunset view of 100,000 gray bats emerging from the cave.
“I visited in April, and while the wind made the initial part of the trip a good workout, it wasn't overly challenging. We got an up-close view of Ospreys and their nests, even witnessing one catch a fish. The sunset was gorgeous and lasted quite a while. We also had the fun surprise of seeing two trains pass by. When the bats emerged, the lake became eerily still and quiet, likely as the insects tried to avoid being eaten. Our guide, Margaret, provided a wealth of information, making it a truly enjoyable experience. I recommend bringing sunglasses, something to tie back long hair, and perhaps a change of dry clothes for afterward. I wholeheartedly suggest this experience to others and hope to return with friends.”— Tara_T

4.6· 37 reviews· 1.5 hoursOne and a half hours on stuffed-animal scooters — explore Chattanooga's history, including the Walnut Street Bridge and Bluff View Arts district, with photo stops and local stories.
“The rideables were enjoyable and simple to handle. Our tour guide was excellent and well-informed. I rated it three stars due to my booking being rescheduled twice. While the first change was understandable, upon arriving at the new time, we discovered it had been delayed by another 30 minutes without prior notification. Given the ongoing inconvenience, we should have been offered some discount. This experience makes me hesitant to book again.”— fidellep

6. Scenic aerial tour of Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain
4.5· 20 reviews· 25 minTwo hours of aerial views covering Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga Valley, Tennessee River Gorge, and other scenic landmarks.
“I had high hopes for this experience, especially given the $600 price for a 30-minute ride. However, the service was disappointing. After initially booking for my husband's birthday on a Monday, I was informed that they don’t operate on that day, forcing us to reschedule. We managed to move it to the day before, but the pilot offered a $100 discount only if I opted for a full refund, which didn't seem fair. Upon arrival, we waited 30 minutes, only to see another couple go ahead of us because they were late, leaving us to miss the sunset. Customer service was unhelpful, and when the pilot finally returned, he suggested we could skip the flight if we wanted. Ultimately, we flew since we were already there, but the experience was lackluster and not worth the money. To top it off, they charged us $40 for a photo, which felt unreasonable. I feel embarrassed for hyping this up for my husband’s birthday and would not recommend this company or pilot to anyone. If you're considering a helicopter tour in Chattanooga, seek alternatives.”— sarahchatt23
