Cumberland Island Tour: Discover the luring history of Amelia and Cumberland Islands on this narrated history and wildlife sightseeing tour.

Departing seven days a week, at 10:00 a.m. – Step aboard and set sail for the most immersive river cruise in Northeast Florida! This 2.5-hour wildlife and history adventure takes you along the shorelines of Amelia and Cumberland Islands. Cruise the waterways with us as we go further north than any other tour.

Led by our fun and knowledgeable U.S. Coast Guard certified captains, you’ll uncover secrets of the past as we glide past Fernandina’s shrimp boats, a real civil war era fort, sacred grounds, and Gilded Age mansions once owned by Rockefellers and Carnegies. You’ll even get some history about Kings Bay Naval Base, home to the Ohio-class nuclear submarines, a favorite highlight for military buffs and curious minds alike.

But it’s not just history that makes this tour unforgettable, it’s the wildlife! Look for playful dolphins, feral horses, soaring eagles, alligators, sea turtles, majestic birds… and more! You never know what you’ll spot next along the shoreline.

Unlike other tours, this tour gives you the space to relax, the freedom to bring your own drinks (yes, even alcohol!), and the real thrill of discovery in one of the most unique and scenic ecosystems in the Southeast.
