Jamie was helpful in booking the last minute tour by text and Jim was an awesome guide when we got to touring! Jim was full of local knowledge and helped us spot manatees, dolphins, a bonnet shark catching some unsuspecting fish, storks, spoonbills and all kinds of other stuff, all in 2hrs! Maybe my butt isn't tough enough, but 2hrs was plenty. We'd looked into 3hr tours, which would've put a dent in our weekend and my butt. Anyway, they were really responsive to messages and the tour was as fun as we ever could've expected. Highly recommend TTJ!

The good - our guide, David, was knowledgable and friendly. However, when he finally began our tour…read morethirty minutes after it was supposed to start, he did not give any kind of overview of what we were going to attempt to see and where we were hoping to see them. It would have been nice if he had started with "we are going to start by going upriver and looking for the manatee. When we get there, look for ______. Then we will go to the marsh creeks and look for birds such as ______, _____, and ______. We will then cross the channel and see if we can spot the bonnet-head sharks." We went and did all of these things, but it would have been nice to have an introduction in advance so that we could have anticipated our experience and been better able to ask good questions. The bad - Due to a failure of the owner, Jamie, to check the time of sunrise, she scheduled our tour to begin before sunrise which is not permitted. She also told us to arrive a little early to fit PFDs. The result was that my wife and I were waiting in the dark for 40 minutes before our guide arrived. Very unprofessional! What were we offered for the inconvenience of our wait in the dark? Half off? Twenty percent refund? Nope! Just two hollow sounding apologies where both David and Jamie tried to lay the blame on the other. As a frequent traveller who tries to pack in as much as possible during a vacation, I recommend to all of my fellow outdoor lovers to go with the competition who hopefully will value your time more than Turtle Tides apparently does.

Absolutely EXCELLENT experience dealing with Sarah Black who heads the youth tennis! She was super…read moreprofessional in email, accurate and efficient with all the clinic info, and has things set up to flow seamlessly, and be accommodating to parents as well as kids! I could not have asked for a better experience! Only $15 per 45-min youth clinic! My son's lessons were at Epworth Park on SSI, easy free parking right by the courts. My son was so excited for his lesson every time. Miss Sarah and her helpers are very skilled at instruction. Every time Sarah corrected my son's grip he had a good shot on the next try. As long as he listened to Sarah and the other instructors he did beautifully, especially for a 4yo playing his first time! These ladies are GREAT with kids, and they have really creative fun drills disguised as games, which the kids LOVED! If you aren't sure your kid will like/is ready for tennis, Sarah has rackets available for anyone to use if you don't have your own. The most convenient part about these lessons is you can pay as you go, and cherry pick your weeks according to your schedule. Most local kids go once per week, but we were on vacation and wanted to get more lessons in, so we did twice per week. No problem! As long as she has room Sarah will get you in. Oh and payment was very easy with Venmo. Compared to tennis clinics in the Philadelphia area where I'm from, St Simons Tennis Academy is a steal for the quality of instruction and facilities. I am excited to have Sarah and her team as part of our vacations from now on!

Transients like me and longer term stays are available in the campground. There's just something about being waterside that I find helpful for my mood and my productivity, I was here for about two hours for phone calls and emails, sitting in the van and listening to the quiet lapping of the shore. There are activities here including picnic shelters, a playground, a fishing pier and a boat launch with crane. I was able to watch them pull a boat in with the crane and load it onto a trailer.
