This part of Florida is beaming with estuary delights, all of which come together to form quite an ecosystem. We regularly see dolphin playing and hunting during our tours!

Amazing Private Dolphin Trip with Middle School Students

5.00We chartered a private dolphin tour for a group of middle school students traveling to St. Augustine on a fun weekend church trip. We had a great time with our guide and captain, who were very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife and could also engage our students. We catered dinner to the boat and had a great time dolphin spotting and eating together during our two hours out on the water. We had a great time together and I would definitely recommend going out with FL Water Tours!
Great way to spend a couple hours!

4.00I 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.
Loved it!

5.00Clean boat, Captain and staff were informative. Before we even left the dock we had a group of manatees swim by the boat. Saw quite a few dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and sea birds. Great experience, will definitely be booking again next time I come down from Connecticut.
Time flies on this, especially with a beer :)
