Downtown Austin Giant Paddleboard Sunset Tour with Bats
Things to know
About the Activity
The advantages of the giant paddleboard over a kayak are many. You get to stay with your group on one board for a shared experience. You can stay totally dry if you choose. That saves you a trip to your hotel before and after since you can come dressed as you are and go out straight after the tour. This saves alot of time and money. You can stand up, sit down, or lay down. The combination of all the above makes a way more comfortable trip. There is no weight limit and these boards are ultra stable. Sometimes people are afraid of the word "paddle board" but take whatever excuse you have for not going on one of these and reverse it and thats more true. "I don't want to get wet." --- Actually you get wet on a kayak but not on a giant paddle board. Thats true for almost any scenario you can think of.2 hours 30 minutes

Travel Itinerary
- Exclusive to travelers from this booking.
This is the best way to experience the bats hands down. The journey on the 3-6 person giant paddle board starts with epic downtown views during the day, continues with the sunset, then observing the 1.5 million bats fly out and ends the night paddling back after dark in the city glow.
June update: The sunset is directly aligned with the river at this time of the year!
Book Now for July 4th Fireworks. Its the best night of the year hands down.
Booking this tour for the sunset and bats puts you along side Austin's #1 experience "kayaking w/ the bats" only you're on a board! Its the same trip just a different vessel.
Don't let the word "Paddleboard" fool you. This is 15 feet long and 4.5 feet wide. It is ultra stable. You will not get wet unless you choose to go for a swim. You can sit down, stand up, or even lay down. It's impossible to fall into the water on accident.
The mega paddle boards make for an excellent family or group option cause you get to stay together and share the experience.
As a bonus, as soon as you book, my auto-reply welcome message has my personal guidebook to Austin that can help you plan the rest of your Austin vacation! View Location
