What travelers are saying
- Chris C1 contributionStaff was absolutely fantastic! Kyle and Ben taught my wife and I everything in detail and made us feel comfortable with the equipment. It’s a self guided tour which was nice and they even have water fountains up in the trees. Drink as much as you can while on the course.
Very cool perspective to see above the gators and even some of the behind the scene stuff. Would totally recommend.Written November 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- shoesbailey19681 contributionIt rained this day of all days but the guide was just as entertaining as if it had not rained and we were all laid back and ready to enjoy the day anyways. The guide was informative and having the headphones really helped to not only hear the info but to drown out the loud engine noise.Written November 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jill M26 contributionsHad the best time with Jeremy and Kenna! Great guides, terrific little boat, perfect weather for a tour; saw lots of dolphins. Jeremy gave great instructions and several options for the tour. Went through the pretty marina and past the major sites like the Fort. They took pictures for us and kept checking to make sure we were following them and were comfortable. Really had fun.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- 34DeeGoPFort Lauderdale, FL19 contributionsGreat activity for learning about the history of the town, its ghost, to get some cool drinks and to walk off dinner. Our guide was Sarah. She was amazing, funny and handled the diverse group like a champ. We went during the last weekend in November so it was crazy busy streets. the temperature dropped significantly by the time we got to the last stop so dress accordingly (we did the 8:15 tour). Someone in our group got a picture with “Patrick”, the ghost at the Irish Pub.
Definitely worth it for the money. You will make great memories.
They give you a shot glass as a souvenir but drinks are not included.Written December 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had a slingshot rental lined up somewhere else and they screwed us. Tommy was able to help us out last minute and essentially save our vacation. We will definitely be back and wish you guys all the bestWritten March 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JillHiggins54171Thomasville, GA97 contributionsWe thought this would be good, scary, family entertainment. There were no age restrictions when we purchased the tickets, but when we arrived they said it was really for ages 12+. My husband and I had two kids with us - ages 9 and 11. My husband stayed with the 11 year old, but the 9 year old wanted to leave during the talk before you start the tour. (Total waste of $54 for those two tickets.) There was brief storytelling before my husband and 11 year old entered, but other than that you just walk around in dark rooms. They both said it was pretty boring.Written June 13, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Scenic471472343291 contributionAmazing parasailing experience! Everything about St Augustine Parasail is first class! Our crew, John and John, were amazing, providing a very safe and fun adventure. The boat and equipment were the best in class – and they clearly made safety top priority. This was my family’s first time parasailing, making us all feel very comfortable and safe. We did the 1,000’ trip which was great, and purchased the pictures which were beautiful and professional. Highly recommend this company!Written July 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Zane Wylie The Skull Carving GuySt. Augustine, FL206 contributionsIn St. Augustine, where the old meets the sky,
Old City Helicopters lets you fly high!
With rotors spinning and hearts aglow,
We took to the skies, and oh, what a show!
The view from above, a sight to behold,
Where history’s secrets are quietly told.
The coastline gleamed, the city spread wide,
As we floated like birds on a magical ride.
Our pilot was charming, full of delight,
Guiding us gently through day or night.
With a smooth steady hand and stories to share,
He made us feel light as the cool evening air.
We soared past the lighthouse, ancient and tall,
Over forts and beaches, we witnessed it all.
The sunset blazed with colors so bright,
As we hovered above in pure, sheer flight.
If you’re seeking adventure with a dash of flair,
Old City Helicopters is beyond compare.
It’s a whimsical journey through clouds and dreams,
Where the world below is more than it seems.
So buckle up tight and prepare for a thrill,
This ride in the sky is the ultimate chill.
With every turn, you’ll feel so free,
Old City Helicopters—where you’ll want to be!Written August 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Captain Al new exactly where to go to find the fish. Caught our maximum allowance in 4 hours with our prize catch a 44 inch 38 pound King Mackrel! His deck hand Ethan was also great. Assisted us in reeling in our catches and filet our fish when we got back on shore. Great day fishing off the St Augustine shores. Highly recommend fishing with the “Channel Master”Written July 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
