We went out with Captain Linda and Captain Paul. They were amazing, informative and genuine. We had three younger children with us and Captain even pulled them aside before our trip started to talk about birds. They enjoyed the attention :). We were able to get pretty close to a dozen dolphins even though it’s not guaranteed. The boat ride itself was about 90 minutes down the shoreline where we learned about some history and saw some beautiful coastline while looking for the dolphins. The price on this tour is very reasonable for what you get. We would do this again. Book and have fun!

Pablo was excellent providing information about the wildlife in the area along with information regarding aspects of the waterways of Jekyll Island. The Captain and Pablo were attentive to questions and persevered to find dolphins during the tour.

What an amazing entertaining and educational trip concerning dolphines, sharks, and the history of Jekyll Island. Our captain should be a stand up comic. He had us rolling in our seats with his staight-laced female companion trying to keep him straight. The dolphins were showing off as well; now throw in a spectacular sunset - wow is an understatement. My 21 year old granddaughter and I had a fabulous time. We ended the evening at the Wharf restaurant where we disembarked and it too was over the top. Thank you guys for these special memories this grandmother will remember for a lifetime.
