About this experience

This is a one-of-a-kind experience riding an electric skateboard on Amelia Island. Not only do you get a chance to visit our beautiful beaches, but you get to do it all while riding the island in style. We occasionally stop mid ride to find shark teeth near the jetties. We'll finish your experience cruising on the beach while everyone watches. Included in your tour at no additional cost will be 4K pictures and videos taken via Gopro by your tour guide. This allows you to fully enjoy the experience while we capture the moments for you.
