In 1996, they focused on delivering exceptional kayaking experiences. Now, as they embrace retirement, St. Augustine’s Kayak & Tours has seamlessly joined forces with Alan’s Water Taxi & Kachemak Bay Adventures, continuing their legacy of quality adventures.
This was a huge highlight of a two week trip! Our guide, Vianny (?) was amazing! We are experienced kayakers and he showed us so many cool things--sea stars, an oyster farm, all sorts of berries and then hiking up to a glacier. The temperature changed so fast!! We then hiked back and were picked up by the boats. Vianny's wife is a naturalist and he was so knowledgeable!! It was a fabulous trip!!
– Jeanne V, TripAdvisorExcellent kayak adventure! We were the only tour group to go out due to weather since we kayak in a protected bay and laguna area. We saw a cub on the shore, many otters, bald eagles, and held a starfish. Our guides Jackson, Emma, and Brandon were great. Emma took lots of photos for us. We even had hot chocolate and coffee at the end! It was a beautiful adventure!
– Lisa Z, TripAdvisorA beautiful day kayaking the bay, eating oysters and mussels cooked on the beach by our fabulous guide Ambler, then hiking to the amazing Grewingk lake and glacier. Definitely my favorite excursion while we were in Alaska! Thank you.
– Linda M, TripAdvisorMy daughter and I had a great time! The young lady who was our guide was wonderful. She knew all about the bay and was able to tell us all sorts of interesting facts. She was also very patient with those of us who don't get to go kayaking often. We would definitely use St. Augustine's again!
– Carl S, TripAdvisorSupper accommodating last minute. Mako’s cancelled on us late the evening before due to boat issues. Alan was able to pick up our party of 11. We had a wonderful day hiking Grewingk. Great service!
