The excursion provides narratives and anecdotes that evoke the island’s enchanting history, spanning from its native people, to pirates, early British colonists, and its evolution to contemporary times.

Take the tour with Jac! - Jac made the history come to life for us and all of it was very interesting to us. We got a bonus stop at the local ice cream shop which my adult girls loved 😊 If you get a chance, take this tour with Jac!

Best Tybee first timer activity - Jacqueline (Jack) is one of the best Tybee historians you could have the pleasure to meet. Not only does she know almost everything there is to know about Tybee, but throughout your tour you're greeted by locals just passing by to say "hey" as you learn about the history of their homes. It's a perfect mix of history and the modern landscape of Tybee and it’s the perfect introduction to Tybee, offering an insider scoop on the life of Tybee. She kept the tour engaging with recommendations and fun facts that kept even my mother who normally sleeps through historical tours engaged throughout. During the trip she got out of her cart to take pictures of the Tybee Post Theater schedule to help us plan our coming days and stopped for a scoop of icecream. We came right after Hurricane Helene when the island had no power but Jack brightened our day with her bubbly personality and enthusiasm for the island. A real can't-miss activity for a trip to Tybee.
