A Perfect Blend of Fun and Knowledge on the Water

5.00We were a school group of 25 from Acworth, GA, and we enjoyed the boat tour tremendously. It is a given that the scenery is beautiful, but to add to that- the tour guides were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy what they do. Our welcome to the docks and handling of payment was friendly and easy. Boarding the boat was efficient and roomy. Teens can be tricky to deal with, but the guides handled it beautifully. The students enjoyed the birds, the hauling in of the catch, and touching the different sea life. I am so glad we took this tour.
Great way to spend an afternoon!

5.00We had a lovely time with Pablo and crew. We learned about the history of Jekyll Island and lots of other trivia, and saw some dolphins. Easy going ride, no worries about getting sea sick at all. Would highly recommend if you like to get out on the water.
Fun, educational and super chill!

3.00This was a nice short ride. We saw lots of Dolphins. This tour was based around the children on the boat. It was a sunset tour, but should have been advertised for a children tour, as that was what it was about. I still enjoyed it. Nice to see children happy, but it was not what I expected. We did not go far on the bay at all. The captains were nice and I would recommend for any family with children, but not couples.
Great trip!
