Did you know the bottlenose dolphins of St. Augustine are local celebrities? Here’s why they’re so special
St. Augustine’s dolphins call the Intracoastal Waterway home, living in pods and delighting visitors with their playful antics all year long.
These clever creatures use echolocation to hunt and communicate, sending out sound waves like underwater sonar to navigate their world.
Dolphins are often seen in groups, leaping, playing, and even riding boat wakes, showing off their love for fun and socializing.
A single dolphin can eat up to 20 pounds of fish and crustaceans daily, often hunting alongside shrimp trawlers for a tasty meal!
Federal law protects wild dolphins, ensuring they thrive in their natural habitat for generations to come.
Everything you need to know about our St. Augustine dolphin boat tours.
Our daily St. Augustine Dolphin Tour is a 90-minute journey. It is designed to be the perfect duration for spotting local wildlife while keeping both children and adults thoroughly entertained and comfortable on the water.
Yes, absolutely! Like all of our boat charters, the Dolphin Tour is 100% BYOB. You are welcome to pack your own alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, sodas, and snacks. We provide coolers stocked with fresh ice to keep everything chilled.
While dolphins are wild animals and we cannot offer a 100% guarantee, Matanzas Bay and Salt Run are home to a very large and active resident pod of bottlenose dolphins. Our local captains navigate these waters daily and know all of their favorite feeding and social areas, giving us an extremely high success rate!
All tours depart conveniently from Beaches at Vilano (254 Vilano Rd, St. Augustine, FL 32084). Guests enjoy plentiful free parking right at the marina, making departure and arrival completely stress-free.
