WEEKLY TOURS OFFERED JUNE - SEPT
Bat Paddle
On this incredibly popular tour, you’ll take a 2-mile paddle to the famous Congress Avenue Bridge where you’ll watch and listen to over 1.5 million bats flying overhead en route to their nightly feeding. The 4-mile round-trip is accompanied by one of our excellent guides who will also teach you about prominent architecture across the skyline, the Austin power plant, Auditorium Shores, and much more. The tour is approximately two hours but please allow three hours, as the bats dictate our timing!
UPDATE: We offer our weekly scheduled tours during prime bat season (June - Sept). If you're interested in scheduling a private guided tour during non-peak season, please fill out the form here.
