We had a FANTASTIC time on the Jekyll Island Dolphin tour! My family of 5 took my 5 year old granddaughter for her birthday trip. The boat captain was so knowledgeable about the Jekyll Island area and we got a good history lesson on the area! He talked extensively about the life of dolphins and I learned many facts about them that I had never heard before. We saw dolphins all along our trip and the captain would get our boat right up next to them. We traveled to one area that must have been one of their favorite feeding grounds because there were probably around 30 dolphins swimming around our boat and it was so exciting to be that close to them. I would absolutely take this tour again, my entire family enjoyed the experience!

We learned a lot about the island from captain Paul! They did a great job getting us out to where the dolphins were and we were lucky to see many bottlenose dolphins swimming around! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

Very pleasant boat ride with excellent historical overview of Jekyll Island from Captain Paul. The added bonus was spending a signifant portion of the ride in proximity to a large pod of dolphins. Would highly recommend.
