It was absolutely AMAZING!! To see the Dolphins up close was very special. Our tour guide Neal was very knowledgable in telliing the story of the Waving Girl and the history of the lighthouse. Can not wait to bring our two boys to see the dolphins. Well worth the $15, and we would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the... More

Captain Jordan and First Cindy made it. Cindy's presentation and knowledge on the dolphins was great. What I really liked was the small bits of information on the areas history and landmarks. It's nice to know what you are seeing.

We took our grandson on this dolphin tour. It was fun, but just be aware that there are not many dolphins to be seen in the winter. We DID see dolphins, just not very many.

We very much enjoyed the dolphin tour! It turned out to be one of the best things we did while on Tybee. The dolphins surfed and played in the boat's wake, Meanwhile Mike's tour was falling behind while trying to follow us and catch a view of our dolphins. The tour guide was a lot of fun and very informative.... More

This was a wonderful outing. We saw all the Dolphins you could ask for, jumping, surfing, playing, almost as though these guys had them trained. The boat is heavy enough to form a wake the dolphins will play in and jump out of the water. It made for some great photos and a wonderful afternoon. You can really tell these... More

We went on a sunset dolphin cruise with Capt. Derek's Dolphin Adventure off of Tybee Island the week of Sept 10, 2012. We heard you saw more dolphins at that time of day than earlier. Its actually on the river (Lazeretto Creek), you dont go out into the open sea, so its not usually real choppy . (warning -though it... More

This tour was awesome. I am afraid of boats, but I was very comfortable on this tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny, and gave out a lot of good historical and pop culture information. The dolphins were swimming in schools and the boat would slow and stop so we could get a good look. This was the... More

I was reading all the good reviews of this place, and maybe I just went on a bad day, but geez all it took was a phone call to tell me that you had something better to do. I was going for a tour in June, and I waited and waited in the dirt road parking lot and eventually, 20... More

We have never cancelled a tour to take people fishing. This review seems fishy to me. This persons first review is about us and it is almost 3months after the alleged incident. Saying we made them wait in the parking lot for 20 minutes in June. We have never made anyone stand around for 20 minutes. On occasions we have... More

Love Savannah and Tybee Island is beautiful. This boat tour was a highlight--least expensive of the bunch we found. We did the evening tour, which is slightly more, but it was well worth being out there as the sun set. Beautiful. And so many dolphins! Not, here's a dolphin and there's a dolphin, but scores of them jumping up out... More

Much better than expected. The tour guide really knew how to get the dolphins jumping. The other tour boats did not move about the water much which would have made me sick to just sit in the middle of the water and not move about. The dolphins like to swim behind the moving boat and we saw at least 50... More
