Had the best time - The experience was amazing. We got to see so many dolphins up close and stopped at an island for 10 minutes that I forgot the name of but was great. For kayaking to have been this great I didn’t think possible. Gary was awesome. He’s very knowledgeable on history and safety on the water. Took good breaks and made us all feel included. You won’t have a dry time on the water with this company. My bf and I were with another couple during our time on the water.

Phenomenal Tour & Great Customer Service - We did this tour with our two teenage daughters and it was great. Our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant, we saw some beautiful scenary (and dolphins) and learned a lot. All in all we had an fantastic time and would highly recommend this to friends or do it again. Their customer service is excellent too. We tried to take our dog but decided not to because he isn't trained or used to it and would have capsized us. So my wife stayed back with him. This means we had one kayak paid for that we weren't going to use. We weren't even going to ask for a refund for as it was our fault, but the owner's wife proactively offered to refund us. What great folks, you wouldn't see this at a lot of places.

Great Kayaking Tour - We really enjoyed the tour. Gary was an excellent tour guide. He ensured our safety, while teaching less experienced kayaker. He was very knowledgable about marine life and the history of St. Augustine. We would recommend this tour and Gary.

Fun Tour! - Had an amazing time on this kayak tour. Gary was an excellent guide, and we got to meet the cutest boat dog ever, Gizmo!!! Saw a few dolphins and learned more about the area. Not a super strenuous paddle, lots of breaks given, got to visit cute little island. Beginner friendly but not boring for a more seasoned kayaker. Park has really cool trees too!

You will see dolphins up close! Very fun! - Outstanding experience! Logan was fantastic, very personable, and well-informed about the area. Dolphins swam within 10 feet of our kayak and played. Super cool! I highly recommend this tour. A+++

Great tour with a great guide - The trip was great! Gary was a great guide and very informative about the wildlife and places in the city. It was perfect weather and ended up just being us two and Gary. Although we didn’t see any manatees or dolphins, we still had some really great views!
