My wife and I loved this tour! We got up close to a large pod of dolphins and we were so happy we got to see these beautiful animals up close. Captain Linda and Captain Phillip were amazing guides. They told us all about the history of Jekyll Island. There was never a dull or boring moment with these two! We loved the tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to go on a dolphin tour!

Fantastic tour. Captain & co.Captain were awesome guides. They provided a plethora of information about the area as well as the dolphins. Saw several pods of dolphins frolicking in the water & then swimming in close proximity to the boat. An exciting tour with great guides. Highly recommend this tour & I would take this tour again without hesitation!!

Incredible evening tour with Captain Paul and Linda! They have such a love for the area and gave us some fun details while on board the boat! They told us once on board that they never know when and where we’d see dolphins so they asked us to help find them. They took us near St Andrews beach first and we saw a few dolphins but couldn’t get too close because of the sand bars. Then we went over to little raccoon island area and we hit the jackpot and saw so many playful dolphins! They explained the mating process and helped us watch for the pink bellies of the females! What beautiful creatures! We were so grateful to get to see the dolphins and get lots of photos and videos! Thank you Captain Paul for a wonderful night! We were so happy
