So. Much. Fun. Aug in Florida gets ridiculously hot and/or rainy as the day goes on but we actually had the best weather for our 9am excursion. Captain Kevin & Kelly were outstanding telling us all about the wildlife but also St Augustine historical info. The stars of the show today however were the dolphins. We weren't on the water long before we spotted fins & flukes splashing in front of us. Every time we started moving there's one, there's another. We felt very lucky to have a day where they were so active. I can't leave a review without mentioning that Captain Kevin & Kelly took the time to notice & pick up someone's plastic Starbucks cup floating under the bridge because this isn't just something fun to do, it's meant to educate & conserve these natural resources for the future. So give a hoot, don't pollute!!
We saw plenty of dolphins and variuos birds. We also went by historical sihgts and hte guides did agreat job explaining everything. this is fun and entertainig 1 1/2 trip, and cold water and sodas are onboard for purchase low cost, highly reccomend!
This is a lovely tour. It’s a nice boat, good captain & 1st mate.. A good informative cruise. We saw several dolphins and osprey.
This tour was so much fun! The trip was smooth and the crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. We are local and have seen many dolphins from shore but it is a completely different experience seeing dolphins on the water! 10/10 recommend Florida water tours. We can’t wait to go on another one👍🏼
I’m so glad we booked this tour. Seeing the dolphins was so exciting. We saw them almost immediately and throughout the duration of the trip. We also saw downtown St Augustine from the water which was really pretty. The baby dolphin was the highlight of the day 🐬
The family enjoyed the time listening to the stories, watching the wildlife, and the amazing atmosphere.
Great tour. Abigail was really knowledgeable of the wild life. We saw many dolphins, a turtle and birds. Highly recommend it!
Fun and relaxing boat tour. Learned some history and enjoyed the music while seeing the dolphins.
Saw several dolphins, various wildlife, enjoyed views of the light house and fort. The crew were very knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful time. Even though we didn’t see dolphins (I think they’d gone to find cooler water!) we did see a turtle, manatee, pelicans and other birds. The length of 90 mins is perfect and the captain and guide were knowledgeable and very friendly. Our teen boys really enjoyed it and the boat was clean and comfy. Every seat offers a great view and there’s lots of shade. They provide water free and snacks and drinks are very reasonable if you want them.
