During a nighttime kayak tour of Austin that is timed to coincide with the magnificent natural spectacle, you can see more than a million bats fly out of the Congress Avenue Bridge. You can have a front-row view of the Mexican free-tailed bats as they take to the sky by watching them from a kayak instead of among the crowds on the riverbank when watching the Congress Avenue Bridge bats.

In Austin, Texas, use a kayak to explore and discover one of the largest urban bat colonies in the world! In order to watch the bats at the Congress Avenue Bridge, we will kayak up the lake after meeting up at our office in the AMLI South Shore apartments on Lady Bird Lake.
