"Live Love Paddle features my favorite tour in Austin...the Full Moon Music Paddle where you kayak out to Snake Island, listen to some live music, and then kayak back to HQ in the light of the full moon. Their nightly Bat Watching Tours are a close second and the most adventurous way to see the Austin bats. Bat watching tours are the #1 Experience in our Things to do guide."

Austin City Guide
"A great evening with a very knowledgeable guide John. He took us to the best place to see the bats which was not where everyone else was, so we had the area to ourselves. Nothing was rushed and he let us chose the pace of the trip. All in all a great night."
~Emma R.
"Signed up for the bat tour and it did not disappoint!! John was a great guide and very approachable and friendly! Great storytelling throughout the tour with fun facts! I'd highly recommend this if you want to be in awe of the 1.5 million bats that Austin's known for! A good 3 hours out and back."
~Amanda C.
"What a unique and incredible experience! Our tour guide, David, was fantastic. So informative, easy to talk to and kind. The bats were incredible - while you can’t always predict their flight pattern or the time they come out, seeing them and hearing them was wild. No better way to see the Austin city skyline and the bats than on the water!"
~Emily
"Wow what an excellent tour! We decided last minute to sign up for an evening kayak tour to see the bats. Casey was very accommodating and was very friendly when we arrived. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Austin's history, architecture, and, of course, the bats. The kayaking was also great exercise. I would do it again in a heartbeat."

"The check-in process was very easy, as was parking, and they provided free water. Our guide John was great, he was both funny and personable and very informative. We would recommend this excursion! Being on the water so close to the cityscape and then also having the experience of seeing the bats...it all added up great!"
~Daniel T.
"I cannot say enough good things about this place. Our experiences here were phenomenal. Our guide Dan was awesome and made the tour so interesting, comical, and overall extremely enjoyable. Everyone who worked there was so cool and friendly. The parking garage was free, close to the store front, and felt safe. If we ever get to come back to Austin, we will absolutely rent from Live, Love, Paddle again! Loved it so much."
