St Augustine Dolphin Watch, Landmark Sunset Cruise & Nights of Lights Viewing

Description

Celebrate the holiday season, indulge in a romantic evening, or bring family and friends together to enjoy the colorful St. Augustine sunset and the city’s famous Nights of Lights holiday light display all in one enchanted evening. Toast the sunset with champagne, enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine, have a soft drink, or sip some hot cocoa as your boat makes its way over the calm waters of the historic waterfront. Take in front-row views of the lighted bridges, the nighttime city skyline, and the brightly illuminated shops and homes of the St. Augustine Historic District.

This unique cruise combines the serenity and inspiring colors of a winter sunset sky with the peace and good cheer that St. Augustine’s famous Nights of Lights holiday lights display brings to America’s Oldest City. Over 3 million tiny white lights outline buildings, grace doors and windows, decorate trees, and twinkle throughout the historic district and into the residential neighborhoods of the city. The modern festival officially dates back to 1993, but tradition has the display of lights going back through the city’s nearly five centuries of history to the old Spanish Christmas season custom of placing a single white candle in windows in memory of Mary and Joseph’s search for a place to stay on Christmas eve.

Now, the Nights of Lights festival has been recognized by National Geographic Magazine as one of the ten most dazzling holiday light displays in the world and is a major St. Augustine holiday attraction that draws thousands of visitors to the city. The beauty of the display is enhanced by the charm of the city’s old-world architecture, and it is a spectacle that definitely belongs on anyone’s St. Augustine bucket list. The city streets and sidewalks can get quite crowded during the festival, making the tranquility of a boat ride — with unobstructed views and a refreshing drink or cozy cup of cocoa in hand — an ideal alternative. The slowly scrolling view over the boat rail, the reflections off the water, soft music, and good company all combine to deliver a meaningful holiday experience that is simply not available in the crowded streets.
