5.00Great and instructive trip, where we learned all about bottle nose dolphins, their nannies, and their intelligence.
Just Right

5.00Highly recommend!! The boat captains were very knowledgeable about any questions asked of them. We got to experience several dolphin sightings and even saw a few out of water jumps! The captains said that was very rare and they don't get to experience it often at all. We saw mating going on as well and joked about booking next year to see the babies! Hahaha

5.00The crew ensured we saw Dolphins. Great commentary from Captain Pablo. The boat itself was comfortable with easy viewing from either side.
Enjoyable Cruise, Learning Experience

5.00There was great entertainment value as well as education in the narrative by Captain Pablo. We always enjoy a boat tour when on vacation, and signed up to enjoy the time on the water and the wildlife sighings, but thanks to the Captain we got a lot more out of it. Very informative and enjoyable experience.
Worth every penny!

5.00We had such an incredible experience on our dolphin tour. It was truly one of the highlights of our family trip! The crew was beyond friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped on the boat. Not only were they fun and engaging, but they were also so knowledgeable about the island and its history, which made the whole experience even more meaningful. Seeing the dolphins was absolutely amazing—we spotted so many, and at times they came close to the boat, which was just magical. What really stood out, though, was how kind and attentive the crew was with our 10-year-old. They took extra time to chat and answer questions and share facts about the dolphins. It was such a special and memorable experience for us all! We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fun, educational, and unforgettable for the whole family
Excellant reasonably priced tour.

5.00Tour was great. Hoping to get a little more "Island History" as other reviews stated, but really not the purpose of that trip. Plenty of other venues for that and it was very fun.
GREAT EXPERIENCE

5.00My husband and I saw a tour boat from St. Andrew’s beach and looked them up and booked a tour for the next evening. The price was reasonable and length of the tour is perfect. From the moment we approached the check in building we were greeted by friendly staff and given clear directions on where to go and when to be there. Captain Dave and his first mate, Dale were excited about the tour and very welcoming. Indulging in my husband’s many fishing and boat questions. The tour started on schedule and was not overly crowded. Captain Dave gave us a very great narration of important landmarks we passed by and Jekyll Island history. Dale did an excellent job guiding the boat when ever a dolphin was spotted. We saw lots of dolphins and a beautiful sunset. 10/10 recommend this tour! Looking forward to bringing our kids next time!
Great afternoon watching dolphins.
