We had a wonderful experience! Beautiful and peaceful. I would recommend this tour to everyone. The view of the city from the lake after dark is stunning!

Mathieu_M

I definitely recommend the tour. It's well-organized, relaxing, and interesting. You'll learn about bats while "kayak-chilling" on the lake. Enjoy!

We had an Awesome time great guides. Beautiful sunset and skyline definitely recommend. Thanks Aaron

This was a great experience for our family, who like to be active on vacations (2 teenagers). Aaron was very communicative — especially as we kept an eye on weather. We opted for the paddleboards over the kayaks, which, while we had never done them, were very easy to navigate and kept all 4 of us together. Appreciated being on the water where we could actually see the bats (as opposed to standing on the bridge). Aaron also sent a list of recommendations to do in Austin and was spot on. We especially enjoyed Terry Black’s BBQ.
