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 Rowing Dock 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!

READY TO GET ON THE WATER?

Our kayak rentals are on a first come, first serve basis (don’t worry, we have a ton of them). All you have to do is show up at our dock in Zilker Park. Bring a valid photo ID, credit card, and fill out a rental waiver at the dock. Pick your kayak, put on a life jacket and hit the water.

What to bring

We require each of these before you hit the water, no exceptions – but keep in mind our dock doesn’t have secured storage for additional items.

RULES & GUIDELINES FOR SMOOTH SAILING

Rule Number One, obviously, is to have fun. Alas, there are a few more things to know before you row.
