I saw the dolphins fins and back but it would have been better if other boats weren't allowed in that area because maybe we could have seen more of them.
Mallory_S, Apr 2026

Joshua_G, Apr 2026

Lisa_B, Apr 2026
Great mix of options: (btw comfortable cushioned seats!!), calm boat ride, saw many dolphins and birds and learned alot, knowledgeable guide, some st. Augustine history, all in all the perfect mix for our mid to older age group! There were also several families with kids. We did the 2pm tour which was perfect for the changing tide so saw LOTS of dolphins both feeding and courting. Well worth it!! Will definitely go again and bring others.

My girlfriend and I took our two kids on the Florida Water Tours Dolphin Adventure in St. Augustine, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome.
The tour itself was beautiful.
If you’re visiting St. Augustine and want something the whole family will love, this dolphin tour is absolutely worth it.

Carolyn_L, Feb 2026
Captain Scott and Rose were very good tour guides. Informative, knowledgeable and would be calm and reassuring if any issues were to arise. It was interesting to see St Augustine from the water perspective and learn about the area. We did encounter some dolphins and of course gulls and pelicans.
We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion.
John_W, Feb 2026
Beautiful day, smooth ride, the host was very knowledgeable and made the trip interesting. The captain also made for a positive experience with his spotting of wildlife. We could not be happier.
Zahida_A, Feb 2026
The family running the tour are very nice and the information provided was great to learn from. There’s no guarantee of seeing dolphins so that’s a heads up. Just depends.. we unfortunately didn’t see any, but we had a fun tour and saw the cannon go off at the castle instead.
Diamer_H, Jan 2026
Very Family friendly experience. They do have a bar, but the vibe is very chill and laid back. Kids would love it!
Dennis_N, Jan 2026
Even though there was only one dolphin who made a very quick appearance that most of us missed, it was still an amazing and informative ride. You can tell Dean really loves his job.
Adriana_B, Jan 2026
I had a wonderful experience on the dolphin boat tour in St. Augustine, Florida. Even though we didn’t spot any dolphins this time, the boat ride itself was absolutely worth it. It was very enjoyable, relaxing, and soothing—just being out on the water was a treat. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the commentary about local wildlife and the history of St. Augustine was truly awesome and engaging. I learned so much and loved every minute of the ride. This tour is a great experience even beyond dolphin sightings, and I would definitely recommend it!
Kelly_C, Jan 2026
The day we went the weather was PERFECT we didn't see any dolphins but it was January and we saw a lot of different types of birds and our guide was very knowledgeable. We had a really good time
Robert_V, Dec 2025
We saw one pod of four dolphins. Whether or not you see them, it’s a great tour with knowledgeable captains who teach you a lot about ecosystems and give you the water’s edge view of St. Augustine.
