Took our granddaughter to watch the bats and had a wonderful time. Very organized and had a very friendly staff. Boat was clean and guide was entertaining. Well worth the price.

This was so much fun! Our captain was very funny and knowledgable. We had kids and adults in our group and we all really enjoyed it.

Had a great time tonight. Captain Erin and Captain Sparks were informative, considerate, and entertaining. Fun night!

We had a blast on the sunset bat tour. The bats had just returned to the bridge so the exit wasn't quite as impressive as I'd hoped but the boat ride itself was plenty. The bats we did get to see were just icing on the cake. It's fun to see downtown Austin from the water and at just $10 per person for the hour ride, narrated by your captain, it's the best deal deal in town!
