Great experience

Definitely worth the trip. Don't expect the dolphins to jump because they're not trained.

Perfect ending to the day

The Captain and Dale were very nice and knowledgeable. The boat ride was fabulous and relaxing. The sunset view was amazing. Loved being on the water and seeing all the wildlife. Book your trip when you're in town. You won't be disappointed.

Great boat ride & loved seeing the dolphins

Capt was so knowledgeable and humorous! Talked abt history of island and surrounding areas —- Dolphins so beautiful and a couple came close to us on the boat for great view of them! Highly recommend to do while at Jekyll Island!!

Dolphin bonanza on Jekyll Island!

We had a truly special experience when our boat captain spotted several pods of the Atlantic bottle nosed dolphin! We spent at least 40 minutes just watching them swimming all around our boat. At least two babies among the groups.
