From the second we arrived at the Austin Paddle Shack we felt at ease. David geared us up with brand new equipment and went to view over a million bats flying over our heads. It was a magical experience and the guides were the cherry on the top! Thanks so much for a great tour!

Absolutely love renting from this place. Good prices, friendly staff, no waiting, and an easy launch. Customers also get 10% off at the Cidercade (where you launch behind) which is pretty cool when you need a beer and some snacks post paddling. Two thumbs up!

My dad and I went on the Bat Tour leaving from the paddle shack. We had a really great time. I was amazed by the amount of bats that come out from under the bridge.

Super easy place to rent from and a really good location to launch from. Shelby helped us out with a couple paddle boards and life vests for a great price. I will only rent paddle boards and kayaks from hear in the future. If you're a local, help out this small operation.

Our guide provided a great narrative and facts about bats and the city. The skyline was spectacular. The Kayaking was a good workout but do-able for kids and oldies. Thanks for a fun time!
