Morning Magic on the Water

As the sun rises over Savannah, casting a golden hue across the city, there’s no better way to start your day than with a Dolphin Cruise. This two-hour marine tour begins at 10:00 AM, offering a serene escape into the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The gentle breeze and the rhythmic lapping of the waves set the perfect backdrop for spotting the playful Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. As you glide through the water, the historic Old Fort Jackson stands as a silent sentinel, whispering tales of the past.

The cruise is not just about the dolphins; it’s an immersive experience into the tidal marsh environment. The licensed captain shares insights into the local ecosystem, making it a delightful blend of relaxation and education. Remember to pack your sunscreen and a hat, as the UV index is high, and the sun can be quite strong even with the partly cloudy skies. The weather is warm, with temperatures peaking at 82.8°F, making it ideal for a morning on the water.

Afternoon Strolls and Southern Charm

As you wander, let the city’s history unfold before you. From the iconic Forsyth Park to the quaint squares, each corner of Savannah tells a story.

With a low chance of rain, you can explore without worry, though a light umbrella might be a good companion just in case.
