Special Mother’s Day Dolphin Cruises With Florida Water Tours
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (April 16, 2025) – The family-owned and operated Florida Water Tours in St. Augustine, Florida is honoring all moms this Mother’s Day. On Sunday, May 11, 2025, the Dolphin & Wildlife Adventure cruises will treat moms onboard to complimentary chocolate-covered strawberries and a mimosa. This tour, while special and thrilling any day of the week — seeing dolphins in the wild! — will be even more extraordinary and magical. Led by the wildlife experts at Florida Water Tours, guests will be given a detailed look at the various species found in St. Augustine’s estuaries and learn about maternity in the natural world.
“All wild animals mother differently,” shares Jessica Jadick, Florida Water Tours founder and mother of two. “Dolphins have a unique mothering style, and their social and familial practices are also very distinctive, and not all that different from ours.” Jadick started the eco-tourism company in 2016 with a passion for education and conservation. She’s built a team of personable and knowledgeable marine experts and captains that work together to preserve St. Augustine’s Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and Tolomato/Matanzas River.
“Our Dolphin & Wildlife Adventure isn’t just a sightseeing cruise; it’s a hands-on educational excursion where we share our knowledge of the wild families that live alongside us,” Jadick continues. “We regularly witness all types of behaviors like playing, hunting, breeding, and caring for young.”
The 90-minute bestselling cruise is great for families, and is an amazing wildlife watch — viewing dolphins, birds, manatees, and turtles. The tour departs three times on Mother’s Day, at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm, and is held on Florida Water Tours’ 45′ pontoon boat called Osprey. Holding up to 37 passengers, the boat is fully-enclosed and shaded (except for the bow), with windows that roll up or down. And, there's a bar on board to keep mimosas flowing. Specialty graze boxes are also available for pre-order from Florida Water Tours’ sister company, Floating Food Co. The Mother’s Day Brunch Box includes light cheeses, salamis, lox, eggs, Belgian waffles, fresh croissants, pickles and olives, fresh fruit, and honey or jam.
