Great Family Experience - River & Maddox were great guys for the bat tour. Worked well with my kids ages 9 & 13, as well as my mother who was older. Would recommend them. Also was going with the stand up paddle boards at first but the gentleman at the beginning provided great safety tips & allowed us to change to kayaks.

Tour w/ Maddox - Maddox was great! If there’s one thing you should do in Austin it’s this tour. Couldn’t recommend it more. Be prepared to get really wet haha.

Paddle boarding Tour - Erica was an awesome tour guide! We took the 2 hour paddle boarding tour and learned some history of Austin, the skyline, and about the bats under Congress bridge. Erica was so kind and outgoing, highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing adventure.
