What people are saying about St. Augustine, Florida

I bought tickets as a gift for my parents to enjoy while on their vacation in Florida. They loved it and said their tour guide Spence was very knowledgeable, friendly and overall a great guy to be able to spend their afternoon with. They also mentioned that the meet up location was easy to find and check in was simple and fast.

I went with my 14 year old grandson and we had an amazing experience swimming with the dolphins. It has always been a dream of mine and it lived up to all of my expectations. It was well worth the price. Everything is well run and the trainers are fantastic! Give yourself and your family this special treat.

Our guide, Gary, was excellent. He was fun and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. He even gave us some tips on places to visit in town. We will definitely be kayaking with them again the next time we visit St. Augustine.

Both of our guides went beyond the call of duty to make our tour enjoyable. We saw several dolphins including moms and baby, also several species of birds. Definitely recommend these guys

We had a great time, Gary was very informative on the wild life and history of St Augustine..well worth every penny!!
