The Incredible Water Experience In Georgia Where You’ll See Dolphins, A Historic Lighthouse, And More

I love the mountains, but one of my favorite things about life in the Peach State is the proximity to water. From our beautiful barrier islands to all our amazing lakes and rivers, there's no shortage of places to enjoy water-filled fun in Georgia. Looking for something a little more unusual than your typical afternoon by the beach or out on a boat? We've got just the outing! Have you ever taken a dolphin tour in Tybee Island, GA? It's the perfect family attraction. Not only do you get to enjoy time on a boat under the sun, you'll also be treated to amusing commentary and a chance to witness one of the state's most majestic animals in its natural habitat. One of the best boat tours on Tybee is through Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure. Check it out:

Many families head out on regular visits to Tybee, and if you've grown bored of lounging in the sun on the beach and checking out all the local shops, a dolphin tour is a great (and unique) activity.

Even if you aren't particularly interested in marine life, just being out on the water is always a treat. You'll see shrimp boats and all kinds of other great scenery.

If you'd like an especially scenic adventure, Captain Derek's offers sunset cruises as well.

You'll get to see the historic Cockspur Lighthouse, too - it's particularly magnificent on a sunset cruise.

Best of all, sighting a dolphin is guaranteed! While these are wild animals and their presence is not promised, if no dolphins are seen on a tour, free return tours are offered.

If you live out of town and are not going to be back soon, don't worry! The free return trips have no expiration date, so you're able to come back at any time.

There's nothing like the joy of seeing these majestic creatures out in the wild playing in the wake of the boat.

This is a bucket list-must for anyone who loves to be out on the water. For more information about this great dolphin tour on Tybee Island, check out the Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure website or Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure Facebook page.

Before heading out on the water, make sure you're protected from the sun's harmful rays! We love Sun Bum from REI: it provides top-tier coverage while not irritating skin, plus it's water-resistant.
