Captain Derek’s Dolphin Adventure

With an exceptional track record, this dolphin tour delivers what matters most: plenty of active dolphins and a genuinely entertaining crew. Guides like Captain Derek, Kim, Matt, Chelsea, and Gator get consistent shout-outs for being funny, knowledgeable, and professional. Many guests report seeing dolphins within minutes of departure, often swimming right alongside the boat, and the sunset cruises come with beautiful views and a well-curated music playlist. The operation runs smoothly, with punctual departures, easy boarding, and boats that don't feel overcrowded. Families with kids have a blast, and even large groups like Girl Scouts and school trips report excellent experiences. One reviewer noted that shorter guests and those who board later might struggle with viewing angles when dolphins appear on the opposite side, but this seems to be the exception rather than the norm. The overwhelming consensus is that this is a highlight of any Tybee Island visit, with some guests loving it enough to book twice.
