Kayaking in January and any time of the year is great with this tour - Was the perfect date night! We were a little nervous about Kayaking in January, though the weather was perfect!

My favorite tour in St. Augustine - Excellent tour. Mack was a fantastic guide. We were a group of 5 and were lucky enough to have him to ourselves. The 8 a.m. was definitely the way to go for the sake of heat and wildlife. It was a great way to see St. Augustine and I thought it was especially cool that he took a bunch of pictures for us and posted them within the day. We had a fun time with our 3 teens on the water and covered a great amount of territory in the 2 hours. (Thanks for the advice on where to grab food and skim board. We listened down to the exact meal suggestion and were so glad we did!) Thanks for an excellent tour!
