    It was a good trip, see the dolphin was amazing! The rest was boring, We didn’t catch to see the sunset.

    Sometimes we share to much history - we are so sorry that you didn't enjoy learning about St Augustine - at least the dolphin showed up - they are such awesome mammals and are so so smart. Della

    Lots of dolphin...
    Nancy_M, Dec 2023
    Lots of dolphin sightings, as well as some of the super pretty historical sightings. The sightings were much better viewing from the boat then it was on land. The captain was great and super informative without being to talkative so your able to soak it all in, in a laidback atmosphere.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    St Augustine is so full of cool history - Jimmy puts a nice spin on it and throws in a few dad jokes - but does let you enjoy it on your own as well - come see us when you are back around. Della
