Highlights
  • 442 Ocean Vista Ave - We offer a Stand Up Paddleboard / SUP lesson & Eco tour in St. Augustine. This tour leaves from the beautiful St. Augustine Lighthouse Park daily at 8:30 a.m. When you join us for this group SUP tour you will get to explore the beautiful Anastasia State Park and Salt Run. There is no experience necessary. We do not offer later start times because Wind speeds are calmest in the morning and almost always pick up by afternoon.

This is a safe, easy, and informative paddleboard eco tour/lesson. Therefore, our tour begins on land with a pleasant tutorial explaining technique and safety. After you’re on the water, your guide will have you standing in no time. We make sure you get comfortable with your new found adventure. After that, the tour expands into the natural wonders, and wildlife of the area. Manatees, dolphins, rays, sea turtles and a vast array of marsh birds may all be seen here. However Some animals, Like Manatees, are only present through warm water months.

Wonderful Morning Paddle - We thoroughly enjoyed our paddle this morning with Jaden! We saw some dolphins feeding and Jaden talked about and pointed out local land features and animals. It was a nice easy-going paddle, even with a challenging wind The equipment was in great shape and the cleanest I've seen and I've done several paddles of this kind. I REALLY appreciate that! Thank you Jaden and crew for a wonderful experience!

Life Changing Experience - I have been terrified of the water after nearly drowning as a child. Mack made my experience delightful and truly life changing with his calm and patient demeanor. I am so grateful to have found Mack and his mom at Kayak St. Augustine. Highly, highly recommend you check them out. I will definitely be back soon!
