Dolphin, Manatee & Sea Turtle Tour St. Augustine

Guides like Fletcher, Spencer, Noah, and Ryan consistently earn praise for making these paddleboard and kayak tours memorable. They're described as knowledgeable, patient with first-timers, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing local wildlife and history. Many reviewers highlight how helpful the staff are with beginners, including kids and older adults who weren't sure they could handle it. The equipment stays in great condition, and guides often snap photos during tours so guests can stay present in the moment. Wildlife sightings vary by day and location, which is the nature of outdoor adventures. Some groups spot dolphins, manatees, and alligators up close, while others see fewer animals due to weather or timing. Tours run from multiple Florida locations including Daytona Beach, Silver Springs, and St. Augustine, each offering different scenery. Most guests find the experience worthwhile regardless of wildlife activity, enjoying the peaceful water time and learning about the area. One booking mishap through a third-party site stands out, with a recommendation to book directly through the company for smoother communication.
