Great Tour! - We had such a lovely time on this boat tour. We saw so many dolphins! The captians were friendly and knowledgeable. We are local-ish, and will definitely bring friends and family to St. Augustine to experience this boat tour when they come to visit.

Dolphin spotting at its best! - Great tour with The Little Red Boat. After a quiet start we ended up seeing one lone male dolphin and several family pods of 3-4. Always a spectacular sight! Hour and a half trip worked out perfectly, gave everyone time to enjoy the natural setting but short enough for our grandchildren not to get bored. Would strongly recommend!

Great excursion! - The Dolphin Odyssey was a great experience. I took my two nephew (10 & 12) and their grandma - along with my wife. It was terrific. Captain James and Roy did a great job explaining “the dolphin life” as well as some of the history of St Augustine, the lighthouse, the fort, and more. Highly recommend this excursion.

Our Red Boat afternoon - Sometimes it's hard to find the location. The parking is very difficult. There should be a few more signs along the way to help find the Red boat tours. The captain and his first mate were great. The captain did a lot of extra things to show us on the skyline in the town to give us some history. There weren't as many dolphins this time as the last time, but we did still see some

Dolphins, and History - Great, fun experience for all ages! The tour was 1.5 hours, and was very informative. Captain James, and First mate Jeannie were friendly, knowledgeable, very personable, and told very bad jokes! Admission was reasonably priced, atmosphere was relaxed, open, friendly, no worries at all. They know all the spots for dolphin sightings, very well informed about the History of St. Augustine, the Lighthouse, The Cross, The Fort and The Hotel, now part of Flagler College.
