Paddle St. Augustine’s coastline in a clear kayak, spot marine life, and pause on an island beach with views of historic landmarks.

About this tour

See St. Augustine from a fresh perspective on a clear kayak tour along the city’s scenic coastline. With the water visible beneath your boat, the journey offers a close-up look at the marine life of the Matanzas River and memorable views of the historic waterfront.

Meet your guide near the Vilano Boat Ramp, then paddle past landmarks including the Fountain of Youth and Mission Cross. Mangroves line parts of the route, while a stop on a secluded island beach gives you time to take in panoramic views. Look for dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and other marine life along the way, and bring your camera for views of Castillo de San Marcos, the Bridge of Lions, and St. Augustine Inlet.

Your guide, life jacket, clear kayak, and a dry bag for small items are provided. Set aside about 2.5 hours for this guided St. Augustine clear kayak tour, and arrive 15 minutes before departure. Book your paddle to experience the city’s coastal scenery from the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in St Augustine
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 43% in St Augustine means it ranks in the top 43% of tours in St Augustine by this score.
