Fun, Stress-Free Day Trip to Tybee Island — Perfect for Families

5.00This tour was an amazing experience and so convenient, especially since we didn’t have a car. Even though hotel pickup wasn’t listed as an option, they picked us up directly from our hotel, which made the day completely stress-free. Our driver was knowledgeable, funny, patient, and incredibly kind—she really made the trip special. The first stop was a restaurant where the kids got to feed alligators, which they absolutely loved. From there, we went on a dolphin watch boat ride, another huge hit with the kids and such a memorable experience. After that, we were dropped off in the beach area with free time to explore—plenty of time to enjoy the beach, grab a drink, or check out the lighthouse. It was such a relaxing way to end the day. To top it all off, the driver even dropped us off at an ice cream place afterward at our request. Thoughtful, flexible, and well organized—this tour exceeded expectations and is highly recommended for families or anyone wanting an easy, fun trip to Tybee Island.
Radar to Tybee was awesome!

5.00Started out the day before when the driver called me and offered to pick us up on the street one over from our hotel. Super helpful. Radar was on time and very entertaining! She was super nice and stopped at a couple spots just so we could get pictures. It was really cold and windy and we’re doing the dolphin tour first! The people who owned the boat were really nice and offered anyone that didn’t want to go out, due to conditions, a full refund. We decided to stay on and adventure out! We had to turn around early because the waters were rough. The company offered everyone a refund. For those of us on the Kelly Tour bus they gave everyone a partial credit for the day adventure!! Next we went to “Crab Shack” for lunch. It was great!! We had plenty of time to eat and have a drink. Next part of the trip was the North Beach to see the lighthouse. We all got out and took pictures. Piled back in the bus and went to South Beach to the pier and shopping. Had time to look around and buy souvenirs! Finally, we headed back and we re dropped off where we were picked up. Radar gave us so much good information on Tybee Island and the surrounding area. I really got a lot out of it. So glad we got Radar for our tour guide, made the whole adventure amazing !!
This is a wonderful trip...

5.00We took the Trolley to Tybee Island and dolphin tour. It was our favorite tour from our trip and we look forward to doing it next year. Our guide, Stefanie, was funny and engaging. She was definitely knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins, we lost count after 30. And lunch at the Crab Shack was fun. Don’t miss this amazing tour.
It was a nice experience....

5.00Our Tybee Island/ Dolphin cruise was so fun!! We were picked up at our hotel and got a brief tour through the historic district before heading to Tybee Island. Our guide, Stephanie was fun and informative. First stop- captain Derek’s for our Dolphin cruise. We saw tons of dolphins and had a lovely hour 1/2 out on the water. Then lunch at the crab shack- an experience unto itself. Then a stop at the lighthouse which is at north beach. We walked to the top, but you don’t have to. Then back to town. Fun 1/2 day experience to give you a taste of Savannah outside of downtown
Book this day trip!

4.00The tour itself was exceptional. Our guide was very knowledgeable and communicated well with the passengers. Dolphin sightings were plentiful. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the crab shack. I'm not a broiled seafood eater, so that left a lot to be desired. My wife wasn't happy with the shrimp and I settled for a sausage dog and a mini bowl of potatoes. That part was very disappointing but not a direct impact on the tour guide or tour itself. The Crab Shack was not very good in my opinion.
