A wonderful evening - Conner, our Captain was so knowledgeable about everything dolphin. We saw so many dolphins I lost count! He had music playing when he wasn’t talking that was so appropriate. It was fairly cloudy so the sunset wasn’t brilliant but still pretty. We learned so much. Enjoyed our time on the water.

A must do in Savannah! - Fantastic tour. Super educational and we saw tons of dolphins AND 2 bald eagles, as well as some other wildlife. The tour guides are great. Ended with an epic sunset. Dolphins and sunsets are never guaranteed, but you could tell that the tour guides really wanted to deliver on those two things. 😆 As someone who plans events for groups I also understand that pressure, and our trip ended with a memorable evening thanks to this tour!

A Great Time, even for the kids! - This was such a fun experience to see Savannah from the water and learn all about the ecosystem and how it all works together. The staff was great with the small kids that we had in our group, including them in the sighting of dolphins, and pointing out the different birds. We had a wonderful time and spotted so many dolphins on this tour, it was very exciting!

The Dolphins came! - Despite gray clouds and the threat of rain we took off on a relaxing and informative voyage down the Savannah River. Complete with dolphins!! Both the captain and her assistant had both educational and informative material to impart about the port, the salt marshes, and the history of this city. The trip was capped off with a lovely sunset over the city.

Great Experience - Truly Great evening on the river! We saw a small alligator, two bald eagles, and several playful dolphins pods. Our Capt and crewmate, Tanner, relayed much history of the area as we cruised around the river in search of wildlife. We loved the relaxing atmosphere. The sun setting thru the clouds was a winner as well.

Our captain Connor and... - Our captain Connor and his first mate did a very good job of finding things for us to see. I wasn't expecting a big alligator! The dolphins put on quite a show for us. Even though the weather brought some challenges (rain at times), the crew pivoted and provided a great experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see some marine wildlife and a good view of River street.

Nice evening on the water but no dolphins - Unfortunately, our tour did not see any dolphins, though I knew that was a possibility. The captain and mate were very nice but wish they were more informative about the area and talked more as we spent over 30 minutes just floating around the dock we were disembarking from. Since we knew there were no dolphins around that part of the river, I would have rather left the boat as the seats were not that comfortable.
