Florida Water Tours: Nights of Lights Tours

• St. Augustine's Nights of Lights Festival is truly a sight to behold, and even more so when viewed from the water. Florida Water Tours offers nightly tours aboard their charter boat Osprey throughout the duration of the Nights of Lights -- from November 17, 2018, to February 3, 2019.

  There are three tour times for the Nights of Lights Florida Water Tours cruises: 6:00 – 7:15 p.m., 7:45 – 9:00 p.m., and 9:30 – 10:45 p.m. The first tour (6:00 p.m.) is ideal for youngsters (all ages are welcome), while the last two cruises (7:45 and 9:30 p.m.) are geared more towards adult (18+) passengers. An on-board bar is open for all tours. **Use code 25AUG for 25% off!**
