Sunset Dolphin Cruise

St. Augustine, Florida, stands as the nation’s oldest city, where centuries of history meet the gentle ebb of Atlantic waters. Florida Water Tours offers an elegant gateway into this unique coastal setting with its Sunset Dolphin Cruise, a 90-minute journey that blends the city’s storied maritime landmarks with the living pulse of its marine inhabitants.

Departing from 107 Yacht Club Drive, this cruise glides through St. Augustine’s bayfront, presenting dynamic views of iconic sites such as Castillo de San Marcos, an enduring Spanish fortification dating back to the late 1600s. Pass the towering Mission Nombre de Dios cross and the elegant Bridge of Lions before catching sight of the historic St.

Augustine Lighthouse, perched steadfast on a barrier island. What makes this cruise stand out is its intimate wildlife encounters amid a twilight canvas. Bottlenose dolphins often surface nearby, their playful nature illuminated by the fading golden light, creating a scene both vibrant and serene.
