    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible wildlife and a world-class guide!

    We had an absolute blast on our St. Augustine kayak tour! The water was alive with wildlife—we were lucky enough to see sea turtles, plenty of fish, and a great variety of local birds. What really made the trip stand out, though, was our guide Nolan. He was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the local ecosystem and making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable on the water. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! And ask for Nolan as your guide!

    Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of 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 SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,638 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of 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 SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of 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 SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine?

    +

    Around 573 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 SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of 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, 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.

    What is included in Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine?

    +

    Included: Paddle boards or kayaks, paddles, life vests, tour guide. Not included: Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine?

    +

    We meet at the boat ramp. You should see your tour guide near the water setting up the paddleboards and kayaks. If you have any trouble with directions please call the shop or your tourguide. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
