Diverse Dolphin & Informational Experience!

Best dolphin cruise we’ve ever taken! The entire experience was seamless from booking, check in, the staff and vessel to debarkation - excellent! Our captain and first mate were fantastic! We saw various pods of dolphins and had plenty of time for photos and viewing! We were given loads of historical information about St. Augustine, the wildlife and tourism in the area! They also provide eco education for youth which we think is great! We highly recommend this group!

Lovely tour!

The crew members were such friendly, patient, and welcoming hosts. They not only fed us a plethora of information on the rich history of the city of Saint Augustine but also educated their guests on the nature of the aquatic wildlife that surrounded us. From the dolphins to the birds as well as the manatees. They did a fabulous job entertaining us from beginning to end on their knowledge of this beautiful city and how it became the what it is today. I highly recommend this family business to anyone who loves history and sight seeing. Perfect for people of any age group. I promise, you will not regret it.

100% will do again!

Everything about this tour was top-notch! From checking in to our terrific guide Katrina to the boat captain Evan and all the things we saw, the day was perfect! We spotted dozens of dolphins, so much other wildlife and learned SO MUCH! I look forward to booking many of the other tours with this company!
