Great dolphin/sunset cruise! - We booked this for our anniversary, the first sunset cruise of the season. We had a great time! It was fun, entertaining, and learned a few facts about Jekyll Island! We will definitely book again and recommend this tour to everyone. Although Dolphins are not a guarantee, we did see them!

Perfect Evening - Our Jekyll Island dolphin tour last night was exciting, informative, and entertaining. Captains Phillip and John kept us engaged with fascinating history of the area and interesting facts about the wildlife. The dolphins we saw were, of course, the star of the show! It was so thrilling to see them so close and learn so much about these amazing animals! The evening was topped off with a beautiful sunset. Perfect I highly recommend Jekyll Island dolphin tours.

Awesome Family Friendly Tour - The tour was excellent. The captain and first mate were very professional and knowledgeable and the weather was absolutely perfect. While we are warned ahead of time that we may or may not see dolphins, our watery friends were gracious enough to show up and show out. We saw so many while on our trip. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Dolphins galore - Our captain had mentioned that occasionally a trip will result in zero dolphin sightings. I've been on this tour 4 times: Today, we hit the jackpot. We were surrounded by dolphins! Great trip, good weather, informative narration.

Lots of Dolphins! - We had a FANTASTIC time on the Jekyll Island Dolphin tour! My family of 5 took my 5 year old granddaughter for her birthday trip. The boat captain was so knowledgeable about the Jekyll Island area and we got a good history lesson on the area! He talked extensively about the life of dolphins and I learned many facts about them that I had never heard before. We saw dolphins all along our trip and the captain would get our boat right up next to them. We traveled to one area that must have been one of their favorite feeding grounds because there were probably around 30 dolphins swimming around our boat and it was so exciting to be that close to them. I would absolutely take this tour again, my entire family enjoyed the experience!
