The harbor tour wasn't that impressive, but the land tour guide took us to see the biggest swimming pool in it's time in the Lightner Museum. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, but it was hard to pay attention when there are so many pictures to take. By the way, the morning boat tour wasn't crowded, so there was plenty of room for social distancing if the passengers chose to do so. Masks were required onboard.

What a great experience! Ben took out my husband and three of our grandchildren on two separate adventures (one child the first day and then two on the next). He was very instructive and patient helping the kids learn the necessary skills to paddle along. They all had a great time and the final verdict was that kayaking was something really cool and they want to go again...and again...and again. Now that school is out for the summer, we will definitely have to find some time to engage in this new way of enjoying the great outdoors and developing their appreciation for nature and physical activity. Way to go Ben for being a great teacher and guide!

This tour is both unique and exciting as you get up close to both cemeteries while hearing of its haunted present. Step on grounds dug up from the sweat of slave labor and bodies buried beneath its surface. This truly special walk is surely one to remember.

Inclusions: At times we may use dowsing rods to make contact. Feel free to use any reputable ghost app on your phone and let your guide know if you capture anything to share with the group.

Exclusions: Alcoholic Beverages prohibited.

Experienced Naturalist on board as your guide, you will be sure to leave with a new passion for our marine life. This part of Florida is beaming with estuary delights, all of which come together to form quite an ecosystem. Here in the bay of St. Augustine, we are lucky to have an abundance of dolphin, and other magnificent wildlife. We regularly see them playing and hunting on our tours! Although nature is never guaranteed, we bring you to the best locations to observe the wildlife including dolphins, sea turtles and Florida birds such as the pelican, osprey and roseate spoonbill. This tour is great for any age, but if you are over 21 we have a bar on board with a great variety of beer and wine including $4 mimosa's! We also have snacks and soft drinks available! No outside alcohol allowed, but you are welcome to bring your own food and drink as long as non-alcoholic. We have plenty of free parking at our location and a restroom on board for your convenience.

AJ and the rest of the crew were absolutely fantastic. 10/10 no complaints, saw so many dolphins and wildlife. Learned a lot about St. Augustine with the prettiest view. Everyone in board was automatically in a great mood because of the crew. Will definitely be doing this again.
