Your adventure begins at dusk, with your guide greeting you at your downtown Austin accommodations. Then, head to Lady Bird Lake for a breathtaking sunset cruise, where you’ll enjoy views of the city’s dazzling skyline as it comes to life. If you're touring between March and October, you’ll also witness one of Austin’s most famous natural spectacles—the flight of over 1.5 million Mexican Free-Tailed Bats from beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge. With their fascinating flight patterns and incredible speed, it’s a sight that’s both thrilling and unforgettable.

Following the cruise, hop back into your van for a narrated city drive with stops at iconic locations. Capture stunning nighttime views from Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge, admire historic architecture in the Bremond and Rainey Street Historic Districts, explore the lively South Congress Avenue, and see the beloved "Welcome to Austin" mural—beautifully lit after dark.

At the end of your tour, your guide will return you to your downtown hotel, ensuring a relaxing end to an unforgettable evening.

Hotel pickup was super convenient. Mercedes Van was comfortable and great A/C! Mike, our guide, was down to earth and friendly. He taught us about the local area as we drove around before boarding the boat closer to sunset. Only 6 of us in the group so boat was spacious and comfortable. Definitely recommend traveling with SeeSights because their boat has a cover overhead to prevent any bat guano from dropping on us! Casual, laid back evening with excellent views of the emerging bats!! Loved every minute. Highly recommend!!

Really fun tour, from the time the tour operator picked us up from the hotel, the drive around city tour, then the actual sunset boat cruise. Seeing and learning about all the bats and the great energy and joy surrounding the event was magical!
