    St. Augustine looks absolutely magical from the water, and this tour company clearly knows how to show it off. Travelers consistently rave about spotting dolphins (some even mention "Tippy," apparently a local celebrity!), catching spectacular sunsets over historic sites like the Castillo, and cruising past the city's iconic bridges and lighthouse. The crew gets tons of love by name, with Captain Kevin, Katrina, Paul the astronomer, Rose, and others mentioned for being knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing local history and wildlife facts. People appreciate that the narration hits just the right balance without being overbearing. What makes this stand out is how many people say they're already planning their next trip or bringing visitors back. Groups of all sizes seem to have great experiences, from couples to large parties of 19, and even an 86-year-old guest thoroughly enjoyed herself. The different tour options get equal praise, whether it's the 90-minute dolphin watching, sunset cruises, or stargazing adventures. Beyond dolphins, guests spot ospreys, eagles, and various bird species. The only thing close to criticism is one four-star review with no comment, but otherwise it's wall-to-wall enthusiasm. If you want a relaxing way to experience St. Augustine's natural beauty and history while actually learning something, this seems like a solid bet.

    This sunset dolphin tour was the absolute highlight of our entire trip. As Christy our guide said it was a 10 out of 10 tour. We encountered a bald eagle perched on a post in the water and lots of dolphins. Our Captain Bryan did a great job too. We highly recommend this tour. It was great doing a private tour. We were on the Island Breeze.
