Wonderful experience. I highly recommend you do this! Rob and Sam were great. We saw lots of dolphins and birds. The music was a highlight for me. When we finished, we ate at the marina. The fish and shrimp were fresh!

    This is a must do experience! Captain Rob and first mate Sam were amazing with their knowledge, their humor and their friendly attitudes. They made us feel welcome and like we've known them forever. They took us on the tour we saw dolphins. We saw the lighthouse fort Pulaski and they answered all of our questions and made us feel so much at home. I would do it again!!

    History Highlights!

    Kamilah_H, Jul 2026
    It was a very relaxing and beautiful ride. We saw plenty of dolphins chasing bait (the morning cruise is the best time for this) and our captain shared lots of neat history about the island. I could really feel his sense of pride in his home, which I think is a beautiful thing. Both our captain and first mate, Jake were very hospitable and friendly. I would definitely recommend booking a ride.

    Wonderful Experience, Treasured memories!

    We saw some dolphins. And learned a lot of history. The boat captain was very knowledgeable. Boat was clean. And the best thing is you bring your own cooler on the boat.

    Amazing! The ocean was too choppy so we went through the creek & seen some dolphins. Got some amazing pics

    Amazing ride!

    This boat experience was amazing. The captain and other helpers were very nice and down to earth. They let us know that there may not be dolphins out due to weather but it turned out that there was 4/5 dolphins in the waters with us. they made this more amazing than it was. The boat was nicely kept and very social. And the cute workers were a plus too 😊

    Must do in Tybee!

    Unfortunately, despite two kind captains the weather was tough-cold and windy. However, I still thought there was a slight chance we’d see dolphins. But the minute all 14 of us were on the boat, the captain announced we wouldn’t be seeing any dolphins today due to the weather? Seems like something that didn’t need to be said unless you were sure aka avoided the areas they were in? We had 8 kids giving us the eye roll like why are we even here then?! The boat ride in the creek was nice but not worth $460! Would not recommend if weather is not perfect which is apparently what is needed to by chance see a dolphins.

    It was nice, but the weather dictated what we could do and it was a little disappointing that we didn’t get to go out on the ocean.Nevertheless, the captain and his first mate were excellent tour guides

    The Captain and First Mate made the cruise a great way to spend a few hours on the water. Seen two Dolphins and two Lighthouses.

    It's fun!

    Great boat ride saw some interesting sights and dolphins too. Captain. Robb and his assistant. we're very accommodating. Office staff at Tybee Marina were very nice.

    Excellent Adventure!

    James_G, Jul 2025
    Awesome ride with a knowledgeable, (captain is a graduate marine biologist), experienced captain. Got very close to many dolphin pods and the scenery and sunset were spectacular. I highly recommend this adventure! Very cool and fun!

    If you’re thinking about it, do it! The family LOVED IT!

    Ashley_J, Jul 2025
    We had an Amazing experience. We booked with one other family and had 4 children and 6 adults. The boat was spacious for the kids to move around and see all the different angles. They don’t make any promises but we saw plenty of dolphins! I loved the history shared about Tybee and Savannah during the tour as well. Would absolutely do this again!

    Island Time

    JuliusT_W, Jun 2025
    Captain Bob and first mate provide a scenic, informative, comfortable introduction to the waters around Tybee. Mona and I saw at least 30 porpoises with explanations of specific pod activities. Very comfortable float that even the most affirmed "land lubber" would applaud. I do recommend passengers take a couple of days on the Island to relax, then take the adventure on "island time". Tiki is located just to the right of Bubba Gumbo's (best seafood on Tybee). Ignore the signs along the entree road, follow your cell phone's directions to Bubba Gumps.

    It was really a fun time. Great people were on the trip, and the Captain and his wife were so friendly. They gave facts about the area.

    The captain was a pleasure. We saw many dolphins on our cruise. The signage directing you to the tiki cruise was confusing
