St. Augustine Eco Tours, 111 B Avenida Menendez, St. Augustine, FL 32084
This outfit has clearly mastered the art of intimate, knowledge-rich tours that connect visitors with St. Augustine's natural beauty and history. The small boat format gets consistent praise for creating personal experiences rather than crowded cattle calls. Captains Kevin, Lily, Zach, Ken, and Kurt all earn individual shout-outs for their engaging personalities and deep expertise spanning local wildlife, ecosystems, and historical context. Guests regularly spot dolphins up close, sometimes even pods with babies, along with herons, manatees, and various marine life. The sunset and Nights of Lights tours seem particularly popular, combining natural beauty with St. Augustine's illuminated downtown viewed from the water. What stands out is how the guides adapt each trip based on conditions, like Captain Zach taking guests into open ocean when calm or Captain Kev knowing exactly where to find dolphins after initial lulls. The guides clearly love sharing their city and create memorable experiences through casual, informative narration rather than stiff scripted talks. Several reviewers mention the tour was featured on Samantha Brown's travel show, which speaks to the quality reputation they've built.
Great way to see St Augustine from a different perspective! Enjoyed learning about the waterways and local wildlife. Sunset over the cross was a highlight of the trip!
