A thrilling and fast-paced wildlife tour with a fantastic guide!
I highly recommend this tour. It was a blast and a lot of fun. We saw plenty of gators, turtles, and birds. We learned a lot about this area of Florida. Our captain, Justin, was fun and very knowledgeable, and sped up the boat outside the idle zones very nicely. The one-and-a-half hours went by really fast. Luckily, the weather held just until the end; the predicted rain started when we were just back in the car. Obviously, they have a deal with the weather gods ;-). I highly recommend Sea Serpent Tours and would do a tour with them anytime! So friendly and well organized! Thanks, guys, for an incredible experience!

Informative fun!
Thoroughly enjoyed the airboat experience with Captain Justin. Saw a couple alligators and turtles, really enjoyed the river ( trees/ Spanish moss), baby blue heron and explanation about the dark brown water color. Informative fun!!

A MUST Do When Visiting Saint Augustine Area!
Looking for something unique to do in the Saint Augustine Area? Sea Serpent Tours is a MUST! OUR tour guide, Captain Becca, was funny, happy, welcoming, very personable, and knowledgeable too! It is fun for the whole family- seeing the gators was great, and learning about them was amazing too! Easy to find- lots of free parking too. When our family comes to visit us here in the Saint Augustine area, we want to share this great experience with them- this was our second tour, and we will be back! Thank you, Becca! HIGHLY Recommend!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.
How much does Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Augustine usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Augustine is not rushed.
Is Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,077 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide?
+
Around 377 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Augustine can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Augustine and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Airboat Adventure in Saint Augustine with a Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Augustine within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Augustine?
+
St Augustine is walkable history: Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish quarter walking tours, trolley loops, lighthouse climbs and some of the best-attended ghost tours in the country. Guide storytelling quality is the main variable. On Outty we rank every St Augustine experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Torture Museum with Ghost Hunting and Tiny Art Gallery, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Augustine?
+
February to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Augustine?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
