We had a great time yesterday. We got to see dolphins, bald eagles, etc. The amount of knowledge Captain Pedro had was phenomenal. Captain Eric did a great job making sure everyone on the boat could see everything. This was my 3rd trip with you all and each one has been fabulous.
Great Dolphin tour

Captain Philip was phenomenal. He knew SO much. I would have loved it even if we had not seen dolphins (and we saw a lot of them). His driver (I thinks name was Mr. Dale) was great too. But Captain Phillip was the best I've ever seen and I've been on a lot of tours. Thanks so much.

We had such a great time. The crew was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history and interesting facts about Jekyll Island. We were lucky to be able to see a few dolphins.
Dolphins and Eagles too!

We've been on the tour 3 times over the years and we've always seen dolphins! This year we added Bald Eagles to our list! I highly recommend this tour as part of your Jekyll Island experience, you won't regret,even if you just ride around the island.

Captain Pablo and First Mate Dale were absolutely fantastic! Captain Pablo had lots of great historical facts riddled with family appropriate humor! First Mate Dale made it his mission to make sure we saw so many dolphins! The duo were phenomenal and made our Jekyll Island Dolphin Tour an experience to remember! We took our 10 month old and had a blast as a family! Will definitely recommend and visit again!
