Nights of Lights Tours
Enjoy the spectacular Nights of Lights tours and displays.
St. Augustine’s 2026–27 Nights of Lights tours offer views of the city’s millions of white lights by trolley, train, electric vehicle, carriage, boat, sailboat and on foot. Tours operate during the Nights of Lights season, which runs from November 21, 2026, through January 18, 2027.
Visitors can choose from festive group tours, private excursions, family-friendly rides, romantic carriage tours and waterfront cruises. Because tour routes, departure locations, schedules, prices and group sizes vary, advance reservations are recommended.
Choose the Right Nights of Lights Tour
St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights can be experienced by trolley, train, electric cart, pedicab, carriage, boat, sailboat or on foot. Trolleys and trains offer lively group rides, while electric carts and pedicabs provide a smaller, more personal experience. Walking tours combine the lights with local history, and boat tours showcase the illuminated Bayfront and reflections across Matanzas Bay. Private tours are available for couples, families and groups seeking a more personalized experience.
