Tybee Island Tours
For Georgia tours how about a trip to Tybee Island?
If you have time I highly recommend taking this trip. Tybee is a barrier Island near Savannah known for its incredible beaches.
On this Tybee Island Dolphin Tour, you travel to the island via the trolley bus before boarding the boat for a tour around the island.
You stop at the Tybee Island Lighthouse which is wonderful.
What you are here to see is the bottlenose dolphin and while they can’t be guaranteed you will likely catch a glimpse.
Before boarding the boat I suggest you eat at The Crab Shack on the island, it’s wonderful.
Entrance to the lighthouse is not included but you do have time to enter if you wish but note it is closed on Tuesdays.
