The guides are very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly to all the guests. They made the day extra special for everyone.

Went to wrong marina. Notified Viator the moment we realized it. We hustled to the right location trying to contact Viator all the way. Missed the boat by six minutes. Tried to contact Viator after about any alternatives but received no contact back. Viator says 24/7 response which I did not experience. I grasp the no refund policy, but I didn’t get the no response from call, text, and email.

We had a wonderful time and saw so many dolphins! Captain Cody was excellent and first mate Diane gave an informative commentary about the marine life and St. Augustine history. Highly recommend!

The cruise was wonderful and I especially appreciated the low key nature of the guides. The information provided was interesting and useful to understanding the nature of the waterways and wildlife.

It was a very pleasant and informative tour. We saw plenty of dolphins and wildlife. The captain and tour guide were excellent and were super helpful getting our handicapped friend on and off the boat. One of them even helped to push her wheel chair back up the ramp to the marina. I highly recommend this tour.

What a fun boat cruise! It was a beautiful day and we saw dolphins as soon as we left the dock, which I sure was dumb luck! We saw several, and lots of birds. Our tour guides were wonderful, and our first mate, Kate, did a great job providing information, both historical and on the wildlife. Would definitely recommend and do it again!!

This was a low key adventure that was perfect for the four adults and three children in our group. Welcome and hospitality were shown throughout , even when our little one got fussy. Lindsay was very knowledgeable, not just about the tour sights, but also about a variety of questions asked. There was always a little bit of historical information provided with her answers. Captain Kev knew just where to go for us to have the best chance to see a dolphin. We are talking about the next time we will take this tour!

Thank you for your review. Glad you had a good time.

We had the best time! Kevin was our Captain. He did a fantastic job getting us to the right spots at the right time. Hayden, aka Adonis, was our guide. He’s very knowledgeable and kept things light, informative and fun. This is what I would call the Dynamic Duo. We saw sea turtles, Ozzy the Osprey, dolphins and many other creatures. We also learned many little known facts about the historic sites that line the shores. This tour is so much better than other tours and airboat rides I’ve been on. I will definitely be back again with my family. I cannot recommend this excursion highly enough. 👍👍👍

Wonderful Experience for Our Mom’s 70th Birthday!
We had a great time celebrating our mom’s 70th birthday with this tour. It was both informative and entertaining, with a few fun jokes along the way. We were lucky enough to spot several dolphins and a variety of birds, which made the trip even more special. Both the Captain and First Mate were incredibly kind and welcoming and even sang Happy birthday! Highly recommend!

This is a nice little tour around the inlet. We were looking for a short trip as we were pressed for time. I’ve been on other tours with this service in the past and have always enjoyed the tours.
