What you can expect

Witness the incredible spectacle of millions of Mexican free-tailed bats emerging from beneath Austin's Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset. Enjoy the best views from a kayak on the river below to watch one of the city's most celebrated natural attractions.

Meet your guide for an introductory paddling lesson, and learn about how the local bat colony made the bridge their home. As you paddle along the waterways towards the bridge, admire the views of Austin's stunning downtown skyline and bridges along Lady Bird Lake, known locally as Town Lake.

Once you reach the perfect vantage point, get in position for the best photos as the bats form enormous surreal dancing clouds, and ascend into the night sky. Enjoy the evening glow of the sunset from the water. After witnessing this spectacular display, paddle your way back to the starting point.
