Dolphins!
It was a great time. We saw dolphins! We learned about native birds as well as some St. Augustine history.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you had such a great time exploring St. Augustine and were able to see dolphins along the way! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed learning about the native birds and some of the area’s history while out on the water. We appreciate you choosing Three Brothers Boards and are happy we could be part of such a memorable experience!

Kayak and paddleboard tour, ONLY.
You Probably won't see any interesting wildlife. The experience is fine, if you just want to be on the water. We didn't see anything. The name of the tour is misleading.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We certainly understand how disappointing it can be when you’re hoping to see wildlife and the animals stay out of view during your particular tour. We do want to provide some context for future guests. We specifically chose to operate in the Salt Run because of the abundance of dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and other wildlife that frequent this beautiful natural habitat. The many photos and reviews shared by our guests reflect why this wildlife experience is named and offered as it is, and wildlife continues to be seen regularly on our tours. If there were more we could do to ensure these animals were present during every tour, we certainly would, but they are wild and free-roaming, which is also what makes seeing them in their natural habitat so special. Our role is to provide an educational and informative experience of the local ecosystem and history while giving guests the opportunity to observe the dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and other wildlife that frequent the Salt Run. However, we never guarantee wildlife sightings because their movements and behavior are entirely outside of our control. We truly wish the wildlife had been more active during your time with us and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Nolan our guide today. Very informative on our Florida wetlands I’d do this tour every time I come visit! St.Augustine was amazing!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had such an amazing time exploring St. Augustine with Nolan. His knowledge of Florida's wetlands, wildlife, and surrounding area really adds to the experience and gives guests a chance to learn while enjoying time on the water. It means a lot to hear you'd join us again whenever you visit! Thank you for choosing Three Brothers Boards!

Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.
How much does Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours 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, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 152 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, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine?
+
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, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine?
+
Around 53 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine 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, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience. 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.
What is included in Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine?
+
Included: Life Vests; Paddles; and Kayaks. Not included: Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine?
+
Once you park you will head down to the water. Note: do not park in Trailer only parking unless you have a trailer. To the left of the boat ramp you will see the beach where your tour guide is set up and ready for you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Is Dolphin, Manatee and Sea Turtle Kayak Adventure in St. Augustine wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: We recommend anyone who is pregnant or has any medical condition consult with their physic. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
