Step into the rich history and wild beauty of Amelia Island and Cumberland Island on this narrated sightseeing adventure. This 2.5‑hour cruise is the most immersive river tour in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, guiding you along the shorelines of two enchanting islands in two different states.
Led by our fun, knowledgeable U.S. Coast Guard–certified captains, the tour takes you farther north than any of our other excursions. As you glide through local waterways, you’ll uncover stories of Fernandina’s shrimping past, pass a real Civil War–era fort, and learn about sacred lands and the Gilded Age mansions once owned by the Rockefellers and Carnegies. You’ll even hear fascinating insights about Kings Bay Naval Base, home to Ohio‑class nuclear submarines—a favorite highlight for history lovers and curious minds.
Wildlife is at the heart of this experience. Keep an eye out for playful dolphins, wild horses roaming the beaches, soaring eagles, alligators, sea turtles, and an incredible variety of coastal birds. Every trip brings new surprises along the shoreline, but what truly sets this tour apart is the relaxed, spacious atmosphere and the freedom to bring your own beverages—including alcohol. It’s the perfect blend of history, nature, and pure discovery, all within one of the most scenic and biodiverse ecosystems in the Southeast.
