Live Love Paddle

Seeing the Congress bridge bats that make up the world’s largest urban bat colony emerge is a signature Austin experience. Many people watch the action by lining up along the side of the bridge itself (or trying to catch a glimpse from the sides of the river), but Live Love Paddle offers a different, less-crowded way to experience the event: a kayak tour. You’ll paddle out with a guide, learn some local history and see for yourself what gives Austin the nickname “Bat City.” You’ll probably get to watch an amazing sunset while you’re at it, too.
