Enjoyable 90 minute tour - Fun trip. When we were not seeing dolphins, the captain was enlightening everyone with history and stories about Jekyll and surrounding islands. And we did see dolphins, some up close to the boat. Recommend.

Fabulous Dolphin Cruise - It was amazing when two dolphins emerged and looked directly at the ship's passengers. Also seeing a dolphin jump was a delight.

Great Dolphin Experience - The Dolphin cruise was great. We saw so many dolphins during our cruise. The guys were great in the boat and took their time telling us about Jekyll Island and also to be sure we saw the dolphins.

Two flukes up! - Excellent! Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, funny and knew how to speak without sounding like he was repeating a canned spiel. You WILL learn something on this tour. (Even dumb questions are answered appropriately). Good value. Loved it. Saw many dolphins. So glad we took this tour

Wonderful tour - Beautiful experience, a lot of history and we learned so much about the island. The crew worked so hard to have us see the dolphins. They took us everywhere. Dolphins were just not around that day but it was a beautiful and enjoyable long boat ride.
