Fun & educational

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!!

Florida water tours dolphin tour

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👍🏼

Dolphins everywhere!

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 🐬
