We have visited St. George Island for many years and this is the first time we went on the airboat…read morecruise. We did see an alligator, but the views and the history shared by Captain Cook were worth the tour even if we didn't see any wildlife. My husband and I recommend the airboat tour and plan to make it an annual tradition. Captain Cook makes the tour fun but the swamp views are worth the trip even if the alligators are hiding. Tip: if you are in the front row on the airboat I would recommend not wearing lipgloss....everything sticks!

Once on the island I also followed up. There was no response from them and they never contacted us for the charter. It's a shame too because we have gone with them several times before. We had an excellent week as far as weather goes, but disappointed that we didn't get to fish. Go with someone else so that you'll get to go. If you don't have a backup plan, everything will be booked by the time your week comes around.

As I was traveling abroad, I did not have any beach chairs or an umbrella. Also needed a cooler as the temps were at 90+. I called the number provided numerous times. Each call ended with "sorry the mailbox is full". So my only option was to drive (which was 40 min). When I went to booth for the snorkel gear, was told they no longer had rentals there. They directed me to drive across the bridge. Only option was to buy everything which totaled over $125.00. Needless to say...a very expensive snorkel trip!

We came here for a few hours in early January 2026, but you could easily spend a whole day or 2…read more We like many wanted to see the manatees which are usually here between Nov-March. Unfortunately, the boat rides were sold out because we didn't book in advance. We were able to see 5 or 6 of them from their viewing tower. They were pretty far away but they moved around some for us to get a glimpse. We were also greeted by a river otter who hung out near the dock and had a bigger crowd than the prized manatees. After watching these wonderful creatures, we took a little hike on one of their nature trails. We only did about 3 miles out and back, but the trail goes for about 10 miles round trip. There are no cool waterfall or views of the river on the trail, it's just a nice walk through the woods. Afterwards, we went inside the historic hotel to get vanilla cokes from their soda fountain. The soda fountain has sandwiches, ice cream, and other treats along with a gift shop. Also, in the hotel is a white tablecloth fancy restaurant. Next time I come back I will make an entire day of it with the ladyfriend. Take the boat ride, go on a long hike and then have a nice dinner.
