Fantastic, accommodating plus lots of dolphins - Wonderful personal tour with Jiba?? I probably just spelled that wrong. But here's a photo of her. She was so wonderful so knowledgeable. So kind and courteous. And our group in ages from 15 to 72 all enjoyed her.

Amazing Dolphins + Spectacular Sunset = Good Jibez! - My family and I spent a week in Rosemary Beach in mid-December and one of the highlights of our week was the Sunset / Dolphin tour with Good Jibez. Jaya was an awesome captain and we had a great trip. We saw well over 100 dolphins, many right under the boat and all of them splashing, breaching, jumping and tail slapping. It really was incredible and the sunset that followed was amazing.

The Best Excursions Ever!! - On Sunday we went to the Dolphin Watching Tour. We saw so many dolphins playing! We liked this excursion so much we booked the snorkeling trip for Wednesday. This is a female owned business. All the women captains on the boat were very knowledgeable and showed us a good time. The boat only holds 18 passengers so there was plenty of room to move around. This company is a 5 out of 5 and I recommend these excursions to anyone who wants to have fun!!

This is the one! Just book it! - Best cruise ever! We loved our all female crew, Jaya and Sofia! They were so nice and knew the good spots! We got so lucky on our cruise with a dolphin chasing his meal just a few feet away from our boat! It was truly an unforgettable experience! Sofia pointed out a sand dollar graveyard and it was so cool! My daughter and I collected so many! I’m heading up again with my best friend and no doubt, I’m booking this crew again!
