Picked this off of google and reviews. Happy with the choice for sure. Our guide was great! Learned so much about the environment and the animals! Our entire group was a mix of kayaking and paddle boards and all enjoyed it!

We had a great time on this tour!
Ryan, our guide, was fun and knowledgeable. We saw a dolphin, sea turtles and marine birds diving for fish.
As we paddled our kayak, Ryan pointed out landmarks and shared some of the history of St. Augustine. Thank you, Ryan, for making the start of our vacation so memorable.

Wonderful experience! The wildlife was not abundant on a cloudy day in mid December, but this experience was a joy. Our tour guide Ryan was knowledgeable and thoughtful. After 5 minutes, he seemed like an old friend we'd known for years. We'd go again. I recommend this tour...and Ryan!

Ryan was an awesome guide! So much fun and very knowledgeable! It was great getting to learn about it the wildlife and the town along with their history. He was also a great teacher and made you feel comfortable and confident getting out on the water.

My tour was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Ryan was my guide, and boy did he deliver. We saw 1 Manatee, 3 Dolphins, 1 Lizard, 2 Crabs, 2 Sea Turtles, 1 Jellyfish, and countless Birds. We even had time to walk a beach for a short break. I'm not one to take a paddleboard tour as I normally paddleboard on my own. So thankful that the tour came up in my FB feed, as it was an absolutely amazing experience. I'll definitely be back with others next time we are in FL. Thanks, Ryan!!

This was the best activity we did while in St. Augustine! Ryan was an excellent guide, very welcoming from the beginning and provided interesting facts on the wildlife we saw and the history of our surroundings. My husband and I had only done paddle boarding once before years ago, and Ryan was great at showing us the ropes and giving tips in a way that didn’t feel intrusive. Also, although you can’t always control the wildlife that shows up, we saw at least 7 dolphins, and they were so close you could almost touch them!! We spent a good part of our tour following them, and Ryan was at the ready taking great photos of us with the dolphins. We also saw a sea turtle and tons of birds along the way, and Ryan knew so much about each of them. Overall, we highly recommend this tour and Ryan as a guide! We’ll be back to give friends and family the same experience!
