Just finished a wonderful boat ride and tour through the creeks and over to Little Tybee Island, not so little. Absolutely wonderful experience, exactly what we were hoping for. Dog, friendly. Enjoyed and appreciated our captain, Seth. Will definitely book again on future trips to the island. Highly recommended!😎
