Disappointed got cancelled

Got cancelled. So disappointed, they offered a different boat tour but wasn't the haunted tales experience.

Beautiful ride on the river

The river is always beautiful at night. The history of St. Augustine is very fascinating. I do a lot of tours with this company. Always fun and very informative. It's a beautiful ride any night but suggest a full moon. Makes it all that much more special!

Great evening adventure

It was a very relaxing, informative, and entertaining time on the inland waters. Too bad the cloudy sky wouldn’t clear up to Elmore enjoy our accompanying Astronomer’s portion, but that couldn’t be helped.

Something different to do in St Augustine that was perfect!

It’s great! Perfect amount of time and getting to see downtown St. Augustine at night by boat was really cool. The star gazing was really cool too!

Something a Little Different

This was something a little different from the walking ghost tours which is why we wanted to try it and we were glad we did. The boat was comfortable and the ride was very smooth - there were times the turns were done so well I didn't realize we had turned! We were able to have some amazing views of the fort at night as well as the surrounding city. The star gazing was fun and the staff was great. Rose was first mate, Ron was our star guide, Ben was the captain and K2 was the bartender.
