"Really enjoyed our boat ride on Lady Bird Lake! The host was funny, the ride was smooth, and the city landscape was BEAUTIFUL! I definitely would recommend and plan on bringing my family next time." ~Sarah M. October 2020

"We rented the boat for our reverse Rehearsal Dinner...The price is very reasonable and then you get to bring your own alcohol and food...The Captain walked me through how the night would go and then walked me through the invoice at the end. He is very kind! Joye was our sales contact and she was very accommodating and helpful through the whole process, answering all of my questions on linens, food, timing, etc." Kristin Davis November 2019

"Great excursion in Austin. Our boat captain was very fun and knowledgeable. Put us in the perfect location for bat viewing." ~Alison August 2020

An experience like no other

Welcome to Capital Cruises

Deep in the heart of Austin, TX, we are proud to offer lunch and dinner cruises, wedding events, internationally famous bat-watching excursions, party boat services, and the ultimate alternative for group and corporate outings.

Where are you located?

We are on the boat dock at the lakeside of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The Hyatt is located at 208 Barton Springs Road near the intersection of Congress and Barton Springs on the south side of Town Lake. Click here for Map and Directions .

Where can we park?

Unfortunately, there is very little free parking in the area. The Hyatt Regency does have a multi-level parking garage. Parking there should be $25.00 per vehicle for up to 3 hours, after which you may be subject to additional charges. Alternatively, you can typically pay to park at the surface lot adjacent to the hotel, though prices for this and other pay lots in the area may vary depending activities in the surrounding area. Both the Long Center for Performing Arts and Austin City Hall have large pay-parking structures and are a short walk from the dock. Also, One Texas Center off of Riverside Drive typically has available parking. Guests may drop off passengers at the front door of the hotel, but parking there is limited to 5 minutes. Please see map for directions .

When should we arrive?

For PRIVATE CRUISES, boarding time is usually 15 minutes in advance of departure (check with dock personnel for your specific cruise). For larger groups (~20 or more), we suggest telling your group to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure to allow for traffic or other possible delays. If our schedule permits, arrangements can be made for some members of your party to arrive earlier for set-up, decoration, etc. For PUBLIC CRUISES, check-in starts 30 minutes prior to departure. Reservations must be claimed no less than 15 minutes prior to departure, or they are no longer guaranteed, even if they are prepaid. Prepaid reservations are non-refundable unless the reservation was canceled at least 72 hours in advance.

Lone Star Riverboat Cruises Reviews

William j. wyner (jesse).

I would give a higher rating if I could. I can't remember our tour guides name, but she did a fantastic job. This was our first Austin activity as a group (bachelor party) and I can't think of a better way to start our visit. If someone tells you that going to see the bats isn't worth it, don't believe a word they say. It was incredible and I will absolutely be doing it again. Thank you, Lone Star!

Nicole Jawad

This was a great experience for the price. We not only got to see the bats, we got to experience a nice river cruise for a great price. Playing music during boarding would have been a nice touch. I highly recommend bringing something to drink on board.

Jennifer Taylor

We had an awesome time with Captain Matt and Captain Toby , witty humor mixed with fun facts about Austin made our Bat tour experience memorable. We were right under the bridge with the best view to see last nights emergence , what an experience!

Shari Sawyers

We loved the boat tour! Even though the bats didn’t really swarm, we saw quite a few. Our tour guides Natalie & Maverick were great, and the night was beautiful. Even the screaming toddler couldn’t ruin the night for us! Thanks!

We prebooked the 8PM Bat Tour, and it was fantastic! Our captain, Jais, was funny and informative. The sunset was beautiful, and we got to see a moderate emergence of bats around 9:05. One of the best parts of our weekend visit to Austin!

Roodnel Charles

My wife and I did a 8Pm tour! Beautiful Sunset.. Very good and really fair pricing! And Captain Onsolo (don't know the right spelling, my bad..loll) was really fun.. Captain Natalie was on board too.. we've seen few bats... Highly recommend it..

Margaret Wurdeman

Great way to see the bats in Austin! Tour Guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. This was on my husband's bucket list and he enjoyed every minute of it!!

Even though we didn’t see the horde of bats as seen in so many of the pictures, the tour guide, Captain Toby was worth the price of admission. So much fun information about the Austin skyline in addition to the bats themselves. We had to give up as it looked like they weren’t coming out in the rain, but on our walk back to the car we stopped on the path under the bridge and witnessed groups of bats flying around the bridge pillars and into the nearby trees. It was very cool. Would definitely recommend the boat tour over standing in the bridge or a nearby patch of grass. Rainy conditions aside, our group of 3 really enjoyed it.

Had a great experience on the riverboat sunset bat tour! It's a little early in the year to see all the bats but we saw a few hundred! The guide told us that right now the bats are pregnant, and once they have their babies later in the summer, there will be up to a billion bats out! Excited to do this again!

Nicholas Hancock

Took the sunset bat tour after hearing it’s a ‘must do’ when visiting Austin and we had a great time once we got moving. The boat captain was great. She had an immense sense of humour and was very knowledge as we went up and down the lake on a little tour before viewing the bats. It was a surreal experience to see all the bats emerge from under the bridge. I was expecting a mass exodus but they gradually emerged and you need to be mindful that it’s nature and can be different day by day. The only slight criticism was, upon arrival, you’re left on the small boat in the heat for well over an hour before you depart. Overall we had a great time and would recommend the tour when on a visit to Austin.

Do512 Family - What to do in Austin with Kids

Lone star riverboat cruise: best way to see the bats in austin.

Please note that this article was written before the pandemic. For full details about limited capacity boat tours and safety precautions due to COVID-19, please visit lonestarriverboat.com .

We all know that Austin is batty for bats. Austin is home to the largest Mexican free-tail bat colony in North America, and we love to celebrate these winged creatures that dwell underneath the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge. Seeing the bats swoop out from under the bridge is quite an amazing site!

But what’s the best way to see the bats? And when?

“Bat Season” takes place every year from March to November, and bats emerge around sunset to feed on a variety of flying insects such as mosquitoes and moths. Typically, late July and early August is considered “peak season” to see a spectacular show.

You can certainly join the crowds and stand along the sidewalk of the bridge to wait for them to take flight, we we think the BEST way to see them is from the water. So we decided to hop aboard the Lone Star Riverboat Sunset Bat Watching Cruise for a special “true Austin” experience.

The boats available for this Bat Watching Cruise include a large pontoon boat, the Southern Star, that seats up to 60 people and the smaller boat, Little Star, which carries 30. Both are open-air, so you’re sure to get a great view no matter where you’re seated.
