Amelia River Cruises

Seeing Amelia Island from the water is one of the best ways to combine wildlife sightseeing with a dose of history. At Amelia River Cruises, the boat captains are incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the past to life with detailed stories while simultaneously pointing out every dolphin and turtle that passes by. The most popular option, the Cumberland Island Tour, runs 2.5 hours and is packed with fascinating lore about the mysterious island just across the water, Cumberland Island. Once the playground of families like the Rockefellers and Carnegies, this island is now better known for its community of wild horses, an unforgettable sight. Along the way, you’ll also get plenty of insight into Amelia Island’s own layered history. The tours are interactive too, keeping things fun for all ages. Kids even get the chance to take the wheel for a bit, making it a memorable experience for the whole family. Grab details at ameliarivercruises.com/
