An absolute must

No visit to Amelia Island is complete without a trip on this excursion. The captains are well acquainted with the history of the area and the wildlife can be spectacular, from dolphins to wild horses.

Which cruise do you recommend? The Cumberland Island or Beach Creek? We will be taking the ferry to Cumberland Island the day before.

Either is enjoyable ... the Cumberland Island one gives a little more history of the Carnegies and Kennedy's plus history about Fort Clinch. I personally prefer the Cumberland Island one!
