Overview

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.

Activity itinerary

This is the best way to experience the bats hands down. The journey on the 3-6 person giant paddle board starts with epic city centre 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. March 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 holiday!

We did not know what to expect but knew we wanted an outdoor family activity. We had to work together to move our boat down the river and felt so accomplished when we really got it moving. The communication it required from my three teenagers filled my heart! The guides were really knowledgeable about the bats and made the experience so worth it. My son is yapping about taking a date next time! Thank you boats and bats for a great new memory!

Superbe soirée! Bonne prise en charge, notre guide Ross nous a fourni une foule d’informations intéressantes. Magnifiques points de vue tant du coucher du soleil que de la ville.

Nice kayak to the bridge. Very informative about the bats. Beautiful skyline. It was a really fun experience. I would recommend, because if you want to stand at the bridge or places around it, you’re not going to get a good view. The guide will shine a red light so you can see the bats coming out. I’ve never kayaked before, it was surprisingly not bad. I didn’t even think about getting wet, so bring a change of clothes or dress appropriately.

The guides were helpful, knowledgeable, and fun. Lady Bird lake is beautiful and paddling at night with a view of downtown created a beautiful fun memory with my daughter.

The tour guides were awesome. They explained so much about the bats while flying keeping everyone engaged. This is where you want to be if you ever come to experience the Austin Bats
