Cumberland Island Tour: Discover the lure of Amelia and Cumberland Islands on this Enchanting “Tails & Tales” Wildlife Sightseeing and History Tour.

Departs 7 days a week at 10:00 a.m. – Embark on an exceptional Cumberland Island Tour, a journey that unveils the captivating history and diverse wildlife of Amelia and Cumberland Islands.

Admire the fascinating Fernandina shrimp boats, historic Old Town, and iconic landmarks. Once a playground for the super-rich and famous, as you approach Cumberland Island you will be looking for their wild horses while our knowledgeable captains share with you 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!
