The largest colony of bats in America has curiously collected in Austin, Texas, under the Congress Avenue Bridge. It's an incredible sight of symmetry to watch as more than a million of them fly out from under the bridge, and it's a sight that people can view for free from above or below. But if you really want to take it to the next level, Capital Cruises offer what they like to call "sunset bat cruises." Every night in peak bat season, which is March through October, Capital Cruises' tour guides will take you on this awesome natural adventure, offering insight on how this extraordinary phenomenon, which began in the Eighties, came to settle in Austin. Cocktails and dinner are also available options depending on one's mood to celebrate.
In other words, how truly batty do you really want to go? The choice is yours. Just listen to us on one small, but very important thing: Don't forget the bug repellent! Those critters will get you faster than any bat will; they're really not interested in us mere humans luckily. Stay at the just opened Westin Austin at The Domain, and we can promise that the bats won't follow you to your room. But you aren't afraid of bats, are you?
