As luck would have it, we were the only ones signed up for this tour. The St. John's River Eco tours run 7 days a week - twice per day.

Food and drinks are allowed on the boat, with the exception of red wine (red wine + an all white boat = potential permanent wine stains). Captain Colin was engaging, very knowledgeable and personable- he even back up the boat a few times for my husband and I to get a better view of some wildlife! We will definitely be back!

I booked another trip to see the St. Augustine lights at night. I give Captain Ashley A++++

We are new at this and have only stayed at a few places close to home to try to get a handle on the RV life. We have a new Winnebaga Intent and there is a lot to learn. We stayed for a month and were parked across from someone who lives there permanently who had some very cute kittens running around for entertainment. Only 4 miles from a very nice beach community as well as the beach itself! Nice amenities. Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Not fancy but pleasant and peaceful. What is not to like?
