Great place. Easy, clear guidances, It was my fiat time kayaking and I really enjoyed the ride. Great activity if you are hitting Austin.

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!

Amazing - an incredibly experience. The bat tour was really good. After paddling with the kajak, we saw een amazing view over the city. The large group of bats (1,5 miljoen) flew right over the river in and kajaks. It gave an amazing spectacle. The guidance and explanation from our guide was really good; Thank you David!

Great experience! The tour was super informative and the guide (Dan I think?) was awesome. They give a brief kayak lesson before sending you off to the bridge. I knew nothing about the bats here in Austin before the tour yesterday and learned a lot! Very cool to see them from the kayaks.
Would recommend this tour. Worth the $55 per person. On the water for about 2-2.5 hours.

Great kayak tour of the bats taking off in the evening. Dan, our guide, was very funny and very knowledgeable about bat and Austin trivia. From start to finish they took great care of all of us and made the experience really clear and enjoyable I highly recommend it. The view of the city skyline and the bridges from the water is beautiful.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Our experiences here were phenomenal. We rented by the hour on Saturday and came right back for the Bat Tour on Sunday night. 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. They had lockers for our stuff and we had no issues whatsoever with leaving it there. If we ever get to come back to Austin, we will absolutely rent from Live, Love, Paddle again! Loved it so much.

Amazing, it was my first time kayaking with my group. Guides are very kind and patient. They have lockers for things that can be ruin by water. I recommend going in swimming clothes. We parked in the parking garage that was free.
We did the bat tour and it accomplished what we went for.

Live Love Paddle was not only just the experience I was looking for, but the staff really seems like they enjoy their job and care about customer service and guests satisfaction! Our guide Dan was SO funny, personable and knowledgeable...made my day! Lots of knowledge about the buildings making up the Austin skyline and tons of cool bat facts. Even the staff that helps guest in and out of the kayaks made an effort to make sure the guest doesn't get wet if they don't want to. Bottom line, Dan needs a raise and I would totally book this experience again. Highly recommend!
