We were fortunate to be on a low-tide kayak tour Sunday at 11:00 which allowed ample views of the oyster reefs and the seabirds that inhabit the area. My husband and I were so impressed with our guide's enthusiasm and knowledge of the local ecosystem and their passion for ecology. Ben is a native to St. Augustine and provided an insider's view to an area he clearly knew intimately. Seeing wildlife is obviously out of the guides hands, but they managed to navigate us to a great view of dolphins! I would highly recommend and plan on returning on our next visit to St Augustine!

🐬🦪💚 Thank you for sharing your experience of the low-tide kayak tour in St. Augustine. It is amazing how people on the same tour experience them in unique ways, and this is especially true when it comes to nature. The surprise element that nature brings always makes the experience even more special. I'm glad to hear that you and your husband had a wonderful time on the tour, and that your guide was able to provide a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for the local ecosystem. It's always great to have a local guide who knows the area intimately and can provide insider's knowledge. I agree that seeing wildlife is not always guaranteed, but it's great to hear that your guide was able to navigate you to a great view of dolphins. It must have been an incredible sight! Thank you for recommending the tour, and I'm sure others will find your review helpful when planning their next visit to St. Augustine.
