Giant Glow Paddleboarding Tour in Downtown Austin

4.2 (6 reviews) · By Boats and Bats

Experience the thrill of paddleboarding under the downtown skyline with our Giant Glow Paddleboarding tour, designed for those seeking a VIP adventure. Unlike our regular bat kayaking or paddleboarding trips, this tour offers a more exclusive feel—starting after most groups, staying out longer, and capturing stunning photos of your group against the glowing city backdrop.

Enjoy the magic of after-dark paddling, with vibrant glow lights illuminating the water around you. You’ll have plenty of time to soak in the scenery, take incredible photos, and enjoy a more relaxed pace. If you want to catch more of the sunset, you can join the early start with other tours, then stay out late to play with the glow lights—sometimes, we ask smaller glow bookings to start early for a better experience.

All equipment is provided, including giant paddleboards, paddles, life jackets, and glow lights. This tour is perfect for adults and older teens, offering a memorable way to see the city from a unique perspective.
