Dolphin tour!!

10/10. Captain was very knowledgable and informative. We got to see like 20 dolphins and got to hang around and follow them for awhile. They came very close. Very curious. Would definitely do again.

Honestly a truly amazing...

Honestly a truly amazing experience, our tour guide Pablo was extremely funny and told amazing stories about the marine life and the history of the island. It was a nice relaxing day away from the heat of the island, the breeze off of the water was a nice contrast to the summer heat. It was a truly enjoyable experience and I would definitely be returning if I ever got the opportunity!

Thank you for leaving such a glowing review! We appreciate the shout-out to Captain Pablo!

Absolutely fantastic experience!

We took a wonderful trip out to see the dolphins and were so impressed from start to finish. Our tour captains were incredibly knowledgeable and led a highly informative tour. Not only did they share fascinating facts about the local bottlenose dolphins, but they also gave us great insights into the local geography and ecosystem. Truly an amazing and educational experience—highly recommend!

Lots of dolphins and informative captain

Our captain (Paul) was very informative! He and our deck hand did a wonderful job of telling us about Jekyll Island history, plant and animal facts/identification, and found several great spots where we could see dolphins. I would recommend this tour to anyone I know!
