Best view from any seat in the “house” - Smaller boat, a lot more fun! I had a great time with the crew and passengers. The crew knew where to find the best spots along the water’s way and every single one of us had the best view. I recommend and I would do all over again.

Really Liked This tour! - Captain Krista and Birdie were fantastic. They had lots of information about the birds and dolphins in the area. They also shared lots of information in a fun way about the marshes. Small boat made it very easy to get close to the dolphins.

I Can’t Say Enough Good Things! - Conor and Skylar were terrific! We learned so much about the ecology of the Savannah River and the Intercoastal Waterway. We saw 5 bald eagles and 5 or 6 dolphins. The dolphins swam around the boat for at least half an hour.

"Eco Dolphin Tour" turned polluted port/shipping containers Eco Destruction Tour - This eco dolphin tour was my birthday gift to my wildlife conservationist sister. It started out well with sightings of 2 dolphins about 10 minutes or less from the dock. The driver Connor maneuvered the boat between the dolphins and what he called "the concrete jungle" on shore. My sister and I were excited to drive further away from the port and really into nature to learn about the wildlife of the area and view beautiful vistas. Instead since we saw dolphins early, Connor decided to circle back and turn the eco tour into a tour of industry and pollution. We spent over half of the trip driving next to huge ships and learning about destruction of nature. It was extremely depressing and not remotely what was advertised.
