Unique and memorable experience in Austin, especially for my 4 year old! - Went on this with my 4 year old and a friend and the experience was amazing! Such a fun way to see Austin, from the water and at night. Aaron was such a great guide and gave an informative talk just before the bats came out at sunset. Very magical experience for everyone! Thank you, Aaron for a wonderful evening.

Unique - My first time doing a giant paddle board, very unique experience! If you are going with your friends, this giant paddle board can easily host three girls on. Channing is a kind and gentle guide.

Such a cool and fun experience! - This was such a cool activity! We had 4 adults and 2 kids went on a large paddle board and we all had the best time. Paddling down the river was fun and relaxing at the same time. Being on the water just brings peace. The kids loved riding on the paddle board! Ross was our tour guide and was so informative about the area, the bridge, the bats, etc. He even held our kids’ attention which was impressive. We were in a great spot to see all the bats which was such a cool experience for kids and adults alike! The kids thought it was so nest and seeing their excitement just makes a parent’s heart explode. We all loved it and would definitely do it again!

Fabulous Experience - It was a great experience! Seeing the bats and the the city at night was truly amazing! The paddle back is tougher than when you head out — however the leader of the group can tow you if needed. 10/10

Family night - Even though I thought I purchased the glow pass and we didn't get it, we all had a great time. Even had a great tow back.

Awesome Customer Service - This was a very, very customer, friendly, friendly experiment. The owner was very helpful. We did end up having to cancel at the last second because of weather and he was very understanding and gave us a full refund. I would highly recommend anyone taking this tour and booking his kayak or paddle boards, we will be for sure booking with him in the future.

Good varied experience with great views and mix of active and scenic. - Nice experience paddle boarding, and seeing the bats leave their nest. The paddling out in to sunset, seeing the city change as night falls and paddling back in the dark was fun. Only wee critiques were we didn’t get any photos taken of us as was described in the tour and pre-tour brief.

Viator didn’t tell the outfitter I had a paid reservation - The outfitter had no record of my reservation so we weren’t able to participate in the event. Viator charged me for the trip and submitted me tickets but didn’t provide the information to the outfitter so they didn’t have a paddle board for my group.
