Experience the Magic: Glow Kayaking and the Congress Avenue Bats
Every summer evening, over a million Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from under the Congress Avenue Bridge. It's an absolute must-do if you are looking for things to do in Austin. But standing shoulder-to-shoulder on hot concrete simply isn't the best way to experience it.
At Austin Lit, we believe the best seat in the house is looking up from the cockpit of a kayak. Our signature Austin bat tours combine the natural wonder of the bat emergence with the incredible vibe of our glow kayaking experience.
What to do in Austin this weekend? Get on the water.
Whether you are planning an unforgettable bachelorette party, a corporate team-building event, or just a night out with friends, getting on the water changes the entire dynamic. You get the thrill of the neon city lights reflecting off the water, the peacefulness of a guided paddle, and an immersive memory you simply cannot get from the sidewalk.
