Fantastic, entertaining learning experience - I chaperoned a trip to Jekyll Island for a group of fifth grade students from Athens, GA. The boat tour is definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The kids are still talking about all they learned and saw. Van, Dale, and Paul were engaging and incredibly gracious to our students and all the chaperones. Do NOT miss this trip if you’re visiting the island.

Great Dolphin Experience - This is our second time doing the Dolphin Tour and we're planning on doing it again next year. We really enjoyed the tour. The captain is very knowledgeable and you learn a little more about the history of the island among other great nuggets of information. More importantly, we got to see Dolphins and we stay at the spot for a bit so that we can view them for a while. We had a few sightings and one even came near the boat. Fun tour.

Bad weather, great experience anyway - The weather was the main factor that day -- a really cold wind put a damper on the experience. We only saw two dolphins very briefly, but not for lack of trying. Despite the cold wind and minimal dolphin sightings, our captains made the trip enjoyable, and we felt we got our money's worth.

Turkey? No Dolphins... - Did a spur of the moment Dolphin Tour while on Jekyll Island for one day last week, and I wasn't even sure they were doing tours still since it was so late in the season, but they were and we seen dolphins! We loved Pablo and the crew, they were funny, informative and very accommodating. It was a great experience leading up to our Thanksgiving spent in Georgia this year! Highly recommend!
