5.00Our guide, Olivia, was fantastic! Very informative, relaxed pace of kayaking. Enjoyed the views of the city at night as well as the bats. Don’t forget sunglasses and expect your legs will get wet from paddling.
Unique experience

5.00It’s going to be about two hours so give yourself a little sunscreen and bug spray if possible. The downtown Austin area has some great buildings and photo opportunities as well before the show. Get Blake as your guide if you can!
