5.00I took my daughter 4 years ago and had a blast so I can to take my wife this time. We saw dolphins, alligators, spoonbill birds, wild horses and a manta ray. Captain Bill Quick was great. Saw more of the area this time than last so that was awesome. The boats are fun to drive. Be ready to get wet though.
Great water adventure on Amelia Island

5.00The Craig Cat was a super fun way to experience a tour with an exhilarating boat ride intermittent with short stops for descriptions of history and landscape by Bill, our very knowledgeable tour guide. The tour was a little pricey but still worth it. The tour was 2 1/2 hours.....perfect, in my opinion.
Great tour!

5.00Super fun adventure on the water! A perfect mix of local history, dolphin sightings, and the pure joy of cruising across the waves. You might get a little splash of saltwater and the ride can be a bit bumpy at times, but that’s part of the thrill. If you’re looking for a memorable way to spend time on the water, this is absolutely it.
A Must Do, if you LOVE the water!

5.00What a great way to see the see the sights and learn about the area! ! My husband and I had so much fun on the CraigCat Boat Tour!!! I loved being so close to the water. I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the dolphins, as they swam by. Our guide, Kyle, I believe, had a great personality, too, and was super informative. Just be prepared to get wet...because you will.
