5.00We did this tour while on vacation in Jekyll Island. It was my wife's one thing she wanted to do, and we did not book very far in advance, but we were able to get tickets for an afternoon cruise on the day we wanted. Very informative and relaxing and we saw Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. The captain and crew were informative and entertaining. Highly recommended.

5.00Captain Paul and Captain Dale were amazing tour guides. Not only did we see numerous dolphins but also learned many facts about them and other sea life. They also shared the history of Jekyll Island. Our 5th grade students had a blast! We can’t wait to book another trip next year! :)
Great experience, even with a bunch of yellow flies as co-passangers!

5.00The tour was great and everyone was very friendly. TripAdvisor could have done a better job with information on where the tour was or atleast not turn it into a full on investigation of what the address was but we would definitely do the your again. We would probably just book directly though dolphin tours. Kudos to Pablo, our tour guide, for being so well informed of the island and being very funny.
Enjoyable dolphin tour

5.00Great tour and tour guide! Very informative and fun. We saw quite a few dolphins and lots of birds. This was a family with grandparents, adult children, a two year old and a 14 year old and we all had a great time! Pablo and the boat driver (can't remember his name) both did a great job! Would recommend!
