As a local, this is a must go to when friends or relatives are in town. Haven't had one visitor not enjoy themselves on one of these cruises. There are a cpl options to choose from as in length of tours. You'll see gators, wild horses , lots of birds, and dolphins!! This is a great thing to do with adults and children alike. There are bathrooms on each boat. You can also bring a drink or food with you to enjoy while on the tour. Please remember to tip the tour guides.

I very much recommend this tour. The 2 1/2 hour excursion that left the dock at 10 AM was very informative and enjoyable. Our captain and his first mate were knowledgeable about the history of the island. Very comfortable and clean bathrooms on the boat. Love the humor in the stories that were told.

Great, informative cruise where we saw dolphin, bald eagles and wild horses. They even let me bring my dogs. I told my husband I didnt want to go anywhere on my birthday that I couldn't bring my dogs to...he pulled this out of his magic hat lol. Then after we went to the best restaurant I have ever been to called The Back Porch. My birthdays usually get ruined but this one was perfect 🥰

We had no clue what to expect for the 7-9 p.m. BYOB all-adult cruise but it was fabulous. This is not an intense experience but low key / chill and relaxing. We enjoyed the music of Tommy Peacock who played a wide variety of tunes. We took 1 bottle of wine (party of 2) but wished we had taken 2 bottles. This is not a "booze" cruise. You see a variety of wild horses, dolphins, manatees, other wild life, and Fort Clinch. We enjoyed walking around and talking with others on the cruise and the cruise captains. We definitely would recommend but think low key and not fancy.
