About this activity

Amelia Island is full of rich history, and is the only location in America to have flown 8 independent flags. It’s rich history takes us on a journey through time including the Timucuan Indians who were our first inhabitants as far back as 2000 BC. The flags tell the story of religious struggle and persecution, the effect of Christianity disallowing any other God to be worshiped. The devastating impact of the Revolutionary war on the island and rebels acting in the name of higher power. Smugglers, slave traders and pirates have all had a part to play in the evolution of this Islands growth. This fascinating tour will take you on a journey through time and show you how such a small barrier island has had a major and little know impact on the history of America. Come and join us on a incredible passage through hundreds of years of incredible historical facts.

Awesome tour guide

I ended up being the only person scheduled for my tour, and Daniel still delivered the full experience. He was extremely knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and even tailored the route in real time based on our conversation. That was probably the best part of the tour—it was a conversation instead of a monologue. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to get a good (and entertaining) overview of the history of Amelia Island. Thanks, Daniel!

Who Knew?

Who knew that Amelia Island had such a rich and varied history and that the architecture was so beautiful and interesting? Daniel was the best guide and clued my wife and me into all the history of the island. He is a wealth of knowledge and kept us comfortable as we drove around in his van exploring the sights. And of course we had to accept his challenge of partaking in the yummy Pirate Punch at the historic Palace Saloon. Thanks Daniel for a great and informative tour!
