The guides were super nice and so knowledgeable about Jekyll Island and its history. They imparted the information in an engaging manner. Seeing dolphins is not guaranteed, but after almost an hour without a sighting, the staff diverted the boat to an area not usually on the tour but where spotting the aquatic mammals is more likely. And they were successful. We were entertained by scores of dolphins.

This was an amazing trip and afternoon! The guide and captain was very friendly and had so much knowledge about the island. Then to top it off we saw so many dolphins!

The perfect excursion! From boarding to disembarking we felt welcomed and appreciated. The 90 minute cruise was jam packed with information about the history of the island, the people who made it special and of course the ever cooperative bottle nose dolphins. We were two couples who are familiar with the island but had not taken this tour before. Only being here for 2.5 days we were not interested in giving up a majority of the day to an excursion. This was about perfect. The boat was comfortable, safe and while it was on and off raining we were dry. Along with the dolphins we had a Bald Eagle, pelicans, terns and a variety of gulls. We highly recommend this experience.
