Prepare for an unforgettable evening at the austin texas bat bridge, home to North America's largest urban bat colony. Every night from March to October, over a million Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from under the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, creating a truly spectacular sight. This natural phenomenon draws visitors from all over the world, eager to witness the incredible aerial display as the bats take flight to forage for insects. You can view this amazing display from various points, including the bridge itself, a dedicated viewing area, or even from a boat tour on Lady Bird Lake. For a different kind of adventure, consider a kayak rental to explore the waters before the main event.
This is a private tubing experience for groups of 10-15 people. We are the only company that offers tubing in Downtown Austin. What sets our trip apart from competitors is we are going on the spring river created by Barton Springs pool. This means that you won't waste 4 hours on a bus and you can make the most of your time in Austin.
Every minute of this tour you will be in the water, and when you get out, you'll be just a few minutes away from restaurants, bars, etc.
Furthermore, you can choose to stay and linger in the area after the tour and continue the water fun unlike the competitors who will herd back onto a bus and make you sit through traffic for hours to get back to Austin.
The float is slow. Highlights are watching the bridge jumpers and rope swingers and ending at Party Island.
