Brandon and Zach were great! They took us to two islands and we saw wild horses and beautiful dolphins playing in the water probably closer than I’ve ever seen them. Zach even let us hold a jelly fish..the kind that doesn’t sting you. Driving the Craigcat was a blast!! Do this! You won’t be sorry!

Really enjoyed the boats. Loved seeing the horses and Cumberland island. Only thing I would suggest is to go during warmer weather because water was cold and we got really wet.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much for the great review! Be sure to come back and see us during warmer weather!

I know you can’t control the weather, but as experienced guides, you should make good judgment calls based on it. We had very windy and rough weather for our trip. It was a little harrowing especially for children. The trip ended up being more nerve wracking than enjoyable. Maybe we should have canceled but were ensured that it would be fine- just maybe a “little wet”. That said, it may have been enjoyable in good weather, it was not for us.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
I’m sorry to hear the trip wasn’t enjoyable. The wind can make things tricky and many times we have to make judgement calls on the water as conditions can change. We did know it would be windy and therefore you were called and made aware. Unless we feel there is a safety concern we ultimately leave the decision to the guests if they would like to reschedule for a better day, cancel or proceed with the trip. As you pointed out the guides are seasoned and occasionally have to turn trips around but in this case they felt it was safe to proceed. Again I am sorry the trip took place on a day with higher winds than normal and please let us know if there is any other feedback you’d like to share. Have a great day.

We went out with Brandon, who is so personable and knowledgeable. Found many shark teeth and went to Cumberland Island to the most beautiful stretch of beach. So fortunate to have taken this excursion. Would do again.
