    Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure

    Must Do! Entrance is on "Welcome to Tybee Island" sign side of road!

    We went on the 2:15 p.m. tour and saw an incredible number of dolphins. We saw at least 4 before we even pulled away from the dock. We sat in the very back of the boat along the railing. The motor was a little loud...More

    Pretty sure you can still see them but there is no swimming with them. It's a boat ride and they take you around we're they are. And they do guarantee your trip if you do not see any they will take you out on another trip

    I'm sorry, there is no whale watching. Trip Advisor places both activities into one category. However we do offer Tybee Islands number one dolphin tour.

    We never saw or heard anything about whales. If you think that is a possibility I would call the business - they are great about answering all your questions.
