Great for family.

We went with our two teenage boys and we all really enjoyed it. Boat was nice and comfortable. We all enjoyed seeing the dolphins and going around the back side of Cumberland Island.

BEST boat trip! Book it now!!

We had the best time! Kyle was the most amazing Captain teaching us so many things we didn’t know we even wanted to know. The weather was beautiful and with it being low tide we had an easier time finding the gators but also saw sharks, dolphins and wild horses. Amelia island is so beautiful and the surrounding areas, this was a wonderful way to learn all about it. I couldn’t recommend this trip more!!

Operator response

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had such an amazing experience with Captain Kyle. He loves sharing the history, wildlife, and little details that make this area so special. We truly appreciate the recommendation and are so glad you got to experience the beauty of Amelia Island from the water!

Parking is close to docks, Kyle greeted us right away. Clean restrooms available and are steps away from dock. Kyle was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. Loved our trip and highly recommend.

It is a very calm...

It is a very calm experience and the driver knows the waters and shoreline really well. We saw a few wild horses and a beautiful dolphin with her baby.

Great Tour!

This was a 5 star experience in all aspects. Boat was clean and Kyle was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about the area, the history, and the wildlife. Everyone we met with Riptide Sports was friendly and helpful. We did the 9:00am tour and saw a ton of wildlife- dolphins, gators, turtles, wild horses, and plenty of birds including a bald eagle. It was a great way to explore the area by water. I highly recommend this tour and this company!

Operator response

Wow, thank you for the amazing review! We’re so glad you had such a memorable morning on the water, and Kyle will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Thank you for shouting out our whole Riptide crew too, it means the world to us. We loved having you aboard and can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure!
