This was an incredible experience! The whole crew aboard the Liberty was fantastic! They were very knowledgeable about the area and about all the wildlife around us. They included the children on the tour and my 2 year old had a blast!!! Would highly recommend this for everyone that visits.

It was AMAZING!!! The crew were gracous, courteous and entertaining. Capt. Troop did wonderful job managing the boat, finding wildlife and giving great information about what we were seeing, as well as lots of Golden Isle history.
We saw cormorants, bald eagles, snowy egrets, manatees, Atlantic sturgeon, and LOTS of dolphins!!! The weather was wonderful! Will definitely do again! Finished the trip with dinner at The Wharf.

It was amazing when two dolphins emerged and looked directly at the ship's passengers. Also seeing a dolphin jump was a delight.

The Dolphin cruise was great. We saw so many dolphins during our cruise. The guys were great in the boat and took their time telling us about Jekyll Island and also to be sure we saw the dolphins.
