Fun tour but would be better if longer
My family & I enjoyed this water tour. It was a perfect day on the water. The crew was friendly and helpful. My only negative would be that it seems a little too short at 1.5 hours. We did not get near downtown area due to running low on time. I think 2-3 hours would be better.
J

Expectations & Experience
Increased boat activity keeps dolphins away so afternoon not the best time to go. The cruise did not get close enough to the historic fort, downtown area or bridge of lions to see it, viewing from a distance only. Staff were friendly and attentive.
Operator response
Hello, Diane. We regret that the dolphins didn’t come out to play during the tour. Normally, the captain stays outside the inlet on porpoise point and Salt Run towards the lighthouse until dolphins are found before heading to the downtown area. If you are looking for a more in-depth sightseeing tour we offer a Historic Landmark Tour that specifically features Castillo de San Marcos and other points of interest. We are pleased that you did enjoy the crew. We hope you will give us another shot!

Boring
I was expecting a narrated tour and to see dolphins. It was nothing more than a boat ride with drinks and snacks.
Operator response
Hello, Cheryl. We regret that you had anything less than a great time with us. It is our goal to show everyone an exciting day out on the water! If you are looking for a narrated tour we offer the St. Augustine Historical Landmark Cruise. This tour touches on the last 450 years of history in the great city of St. Augustine while the Dolphin Watch and Historical Harbor Tour is more about the tranquility of nature. The crew is always willing to discuss the landmarks or wildlife with guests while aboard any of our tours if asked!
