We took the afternoon tour of the north end of the island and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Fernandina. It was very worthwhile.😀

Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5 star review. Our guides work very hard to learn the history and architecture on this wonderful island. We all share a common passion and that is a love of the Island. Thank you and very much appreciated.

Daniel was a wonderful tour guide and we really learned so much about the history of the island. This is my fourth visit to Amelia Island and the first time I ever took a tour and I am so glad I did! My mom was on the tour with me as well and had a great time. One of the most interesting facts is we learned about the founding of the island and also the background info on the "Spanish Moss" as they call it on the trees. Highly recommend taking the tour if you are in the area.

Great tour! Daniel is the best guide! Very knowledgeable and great personality. Weather was terrible but we still got to see Amelia island’s charm. Definitely recommend the Salty Pelican for a before or after tour place for a bite to eat - Thanks Daniel! The only reason not rated a 5 is the last row of seats a bit uncomfortable for us senior citizens, but not intolerable. Would do it again!
