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

Departing six days a week, at 10:00 a.m. – Join us as we embark on an exceptional 2 1/2-hour journey along the local waterways of Amelia and Cumberland Islands. Our captains will guide you through the waterways unveiling the captivating history and diverse wildlife of the area. You will board one of our 45, 75, or 120 passenger boats, led by entertaining U.S. Coast Guard certified captains, promising a safe, delightful, immersive, and educational journey.

This 2 1/2-hour tour flies by as we travel further north into Georgia than any of our other tours. This is our longest cruise and it offers the most opportunity to see the wildlife, and the longest amount of time to hear about the area’s fascinating history. You will even be introduced to a little bit of Kings Bay Naval Station history and their Ohio class of nuclear submarines.

Come experience the thrill of searching for playful dolphins, turkeys, alligators, sea turtles, manatees, pelicans, the American bald eagle, and more as you cruise along the picturesque shorelines. Admire the fascinating Fernandina shrimp boats, historic Old Town, and iconic landmarks. Once a playground for the super-rich and famous, Cumberland Island is home to hundreds of feral horses, and you will learn the legendary tales of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Kennedy families’ history.

You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol, and we are pet friendly. Comfort awaits you on our accessible catamaran boats, with a restroom on board. You don’t want to miss this popular wildlife sightseeing and narrated history tour; book your tickets now!
