Scenic Austin Night Tour

Overview

Begin your small group evening tour at dusk on Austin's Lady Bird Lake with a stunning sunset cruise where you will enjoy watching the colorful & changing skyline. If you happen to book our Scenic Austin Night Tour between March and October, you are in luck because this is the very best time to witness Austin's world-famous Congress Avenue Bridge Bats! Join your guide on a bat watching excursion to witness fabled Mexican (or Brazilian) Free-Tailed Bats take flight from underneath the Congress Avenue Bridge where an unimaginable large colony of 1.5 million bats reside—one of the biggest colonies of urban bats in the world!

Next, hop back into one of our air-conditioned Mercedes Metris vans to enjoy a narrated driving tour with stops at several iconic landmarks. Your guide will narrate and provide ongoing highlights and local insights about the surrounding area along the drive.

Wonderful experience had the best tour guide. The bats were so awesome to look at. The guide took us around town and showed us all the best spots. Tour of the Capitol was awesome. He was very informative

Guy who ran our tour was a total scam artist. Tried to convince our tour group not to go on the boat ride and when we did show up late, we had almost lost our seats. Guy who actually owned the boat tour explained to our guide that he almost gave our seats away. Totally embarrassing. Couldn’t even sit next to my wife on the boat tour. Skipped anything after totally not worth the money.

Interesting overview of the city, then a fun boat trip. We were very lucky, apparently one of the best bat sightings of the year, amazing to watch.
