    Great accessible tour for the whole family!

    Cody and Diane were excellent guides! The coquina queen was a really clean and comfortable boat, equipped with free waters and a bathroom on board. The marina was clean and had plenty of parking. Looked like a great place to visit for dinner! I’m so glad we chose this tour! The water view allowed us to get the “lay of the land” of st. Augustine and Anastasia island better. Diane was very knowledgeable of the wildlife, and Cody did a great job navigating amidst some intermittent rain. We saw a pod of dolphins up close feeding. It was great!

    Wildlife history dolphin tour

    I wish we could have went out a little further in the ocean than we did and seen more wildlife life but the tour guide was very sweet and funny!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, due to Coast Guard restrictions. We are not allowed in the ocean.

    Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.

    How much does Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Augustine usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Augustine is not rushed.

    Is Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 136 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour?

    +

    Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Augustine can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Augustine and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dolphin and Wildlife History Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Augustine within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in St Augustine?

    +

    St Augustine is walkable history: Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish quarter walking tours, trolley loops, lighthouse climbs and some of the best-attended ghost tours in the country. Guide storytelling quality is the main variable. On Outty we rank every St Augustine experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Torture Museum with Ghost Hunting and Tiny Art Gallery, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit St Augustine?

    +

    February to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in St Augustine?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
