Best Way to tour St. Augustine - This is one of the best ways to see the city. St. Augustines salt marshes are equally impressive as it's history. Kurt was an amazing guide. Giving us historical and ecological facts. This was my third excursion with Eco Tours and I am impressed with their love of the city and it's environment.

Salt water snapshots are Tour in Saint Augustine - We had an incredible experience on this guided tour with our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Miss Natalie. She was well versed in the local ecosystem and historical facts about the landmarks. She even took the time to recommend some great eateries in the area. I booked the tour for my daughter and son-in-law, both of whom are in the military, and we were home visiting. It was the perfect opportunity for some family time and for them to enjoy the beautiful weather. Thank you, Natalie, for making our day so special. It was truly an amazing experience.

Don't miss this chance to see the beauty of St Augustine from the water! - Wonderful excursion! Our guide, Alexis, was great - very knowledgeable, willing to let us stick around to watch some dolphins rather than keep to a strict schedule, and very helpful. The tour was perfect in length and what you were able to experience along the way. We got to enjoy a beautiful morning on the water, see some wildlife, and learn about the St Augustine ecosystem. Would definitely do again!

Dolphins galore! - Great experience with a very knowledgeable guide, Curt. Got to see lots of dolphins, turtles and birds. Just what we were looking for in this activity. We got a great view of St Augustine from the water.

Fun time in the sun and nature - Easy access not too physically challenging. If you have a shoulder injury it might be a little challenging. We got to see dolphins jumping around our boat and manatees swimming by.

Great guide, great value! - Curt was an excellent guide - his calm and patient demeanor was so appreciated while he was giving us the tutorial on how to pilot the kayaks. As a 50 yr old woman, with two new knees (last year), Curt made me feel very safe getting into and out of the kayak. The kayaks were two person, open boats that were very stable and easy to pilot. We had a 7 person group, so one person joined Curt on his kayak and one person went solo. Lifejackets were provided. Curt was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and landmarks, as well as the places to eat in St. Augustine. The tour was timed well - 2 hours was just the right amount of time. Thank you, Curt, for sharing your time with us!

I lived in St. Augustine... - I lived in St. Augustine for about four years and I returned many years later with my husband for a weekend. This is by far the coolest and most peaceful thing I’ve done in the city. It was the very end of January so I expected to see very little wildlife but I was so surprised! We saw dolphins and tons of very cool birds. This was the highlight of our weekend, I can’t recommend it enough!

Wonderful tour! - Had an awesome Kayak adventure with Curt. He was super knowledgeable about both the wildlife and the history of the area and gave us a great tour. We saw a ton of different birds as well as dolphins very close! I took my mother who is in her 70s and it was very easy to get in and out of the kayak, the dock they have is really cool and makes it simple. Overall it was a lovely trip and I'm really glad I booked it.

New to ocean kayaking - Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The owner worked with me to make sure the experience was what I wanted (dolphins not guaranteed, of course). Enjoyed the focus on education, nature and ecology. Would do this every time I travel to St Augustine.
