Begin your small-group evening adventure at dusk with a scenic sunset cruise on Austin’s Lady Bird Lake. Take in breathtaking views as the skyline shifts through vibrant colors. From March to October, this experience becomes even more magical as you witness the world-famous Congress Avenue Bridge bats. Watch in awe as over 1.5 million Mexican Free-Tailed Bats soar into the night sky—one of the largest urban bat colonies in the world. Their swift, erratic flight across the glowing sunset is a spectacle you’ll never forget.

After your cruise, relax in the comfort of an air-conditioned Mercedes Metris van for a narrated driving tour of Austin’s highlights. Along the way, your expert guide will share fascinating stories and local insights while stopping at some of the city’s most iconic spots. Capture sweeping views from the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge, admire historic architecture in the Bremond and Rainey Street Historic Districts, stroll lively South Congress Street, and see the illuminated “Welcome to Austin” mural glowing under the night lights.

Your evening concludes with a return to your Downtown Austin hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of the city’s culture, landmarks, and vibrant nightlife.
