We had such an incredible experience on our dolphin tour. It was truly one of the highlights of our family trip! The crew was beyond friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped on the boat. Not only were they fun and engaging, but they were also so knowledgeable about the island and its history, which made the whole experience even more meaningful.
Seeing the dolphins was absolutely amazing—we spotted so many, and at times they came close to the boat, which was just magical. What really stood out, though, was how kind and attentive the crew was with our 10-year-old. They took extra time to chat and answer questions and share facts about the dolphins. It was such a special and memorable experience for us all!
We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fun, educational, and unforgettable for the whole family

Pablo and Eric were our guides and we learned so many cool things about Jekyll Island and dolphins. They were very funny and knowledgeable. We did see glimpses of dolphins so I’m ecstatic!

Tour was great. Hoping to get a little more "Island History" as other reviews stated, but really not the purpose of that trip. Plenty of other venues for that and it was very fun.

Exceptional experience. Boat Captain is entertaining and his wife our tour guide, is teaching you about the dolphins and the island during the tour. Unbelievably great tour, we saw many dolphins, great photo opportunities. We took the 6:30pm tour and also viewed the wonderful sunset. I highly recommend this dolphin tour. I have been on many, this was the Best! Five stars

It was a very exciting trip and we saw many dolphins. Captain Dave is extremely knowledgeable on a vast number of topics including marine biology, ecology, and local and world history. First mate Dale was very personable and deftly managed the boat allowing us to see an amazing number of dolphins. It was a very enjoyable trip and we were much enriched by the experience.

Jekyll Island golfing critics are simply the best. The boat is comfortable and you can easily see from all sides. Capt. Troup was terrific. He knows everything about Jekyll Creek and the various waterways surrounding the island. His commentary was educational, informative and entertaining. And we saw lots of dolphins!!
