Description
St Augustine Florida is home of more history that you can shake a paddle at. The Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas are both located on the water. Our St Augustine Historic Paddling Tour goes past both forts. The view from the water is spectacular and unique.
The St Augustine Historic Paddling tour is more than viewing the structures from the water: it includes bird watching, scoping out Florida’s bottle nose dolphins and manatees, and even looking out for juvenile sea turtles.
