I had a wonderful time on this tour. They have a great location right next to the bridge. Their dock was easy to access and all of their boats were in great condition. Staff was very friendly. The sunsets and bats were amazing! Highly recommend the Austin rowing club.

The best guided tour you can do in Austin!! Top tier service and equipment, not to mention an amazing staff. We learned a diversity of knowledge about Austin and then the local bat colony.

What a great way to spend the evening! So beautiful and peaceful. Quinn was an excellent guide. He was fun, informative and genuinely invested in making certain everyone had a great time. And….we saw bats! As it turned out we enjoyed the kayaking time the best. The bats became a “nice to have”. I highly recommend this tour.

… Nice and maneuverable kayaks Interesting to see other wildlife in the area that included a rabbit, turtles, ducks, and other waterfowl (FYI: I was informed activity would be about an hour, so I paid for two hours of parking….I still got a parking ticket as the activity exceeded two hours)

Henry was a wonderful guide - lots of fun facts. It was an easy going pace and very cool to be out on the water in downtown Austin. 5 stars. Unfortunately, the bats didn’t want to come out the night we went.
