  2. Live Love Paddle: Live Love Paddle also provides kayak and paddleboard rentals for bat viewing. They offer guided tours that take you to prime spots near the Congress Avenue Bridge, allowing you to watch the bats while on the water.

Both options mentioned above provide an opportunity to combine the enjoyment of kayaking or paddleboarding with the spectacular bat show Austin is known for.
