About This Adventure
Experience the magic of twilight in the Georgia salt marsh, where you can observe playful Bottlenose Dolphins in their natural habitat. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises or sunsets while sipping coffee or cocktails, and learn about dolphin behavior as they curiously approach your boat. This unique adventure offers unforgettable wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
Join us at twilight; when wildlife viewing is best and with out interruption. Animals are more active in the cool of the day and the soft light is ideal for photographers. We find the best vantage point to see the sun rise on the Ocean or set over the salt marsh.There is no place I would rather be at the beginning or end of the day than among a pod of Bottlenose Dolphin in the Georgia salt marsh. On the morning trip bring your coffee and listen to the sounds of Little Tybee waking up. At the end of the day, kick back and watch the big red ball of the sun drop with a cocktail. This trip can be done at any tide and is our only regularly scheduled daily trip.
Focus on and have time to observe multiple pods of wild dolphin. See what they eat when we pull in a net full of Menhaden and Mullet. Find out how they sleep, hunt, play and mate in our waters. Dolphin often approach our boats out of curiosity and 'spy hop' or check us out. Did you know that Dolphin have a 3.5 pound brain and are the second smartest animal on the planet.
