Really nice trip - Damian and Sienna were great. interesting scenery of a different side of the port, container ships coming in, the dredging machine in operation, low country, plus the dolphins! Also really appreciated that they didn’t cancel with only 4 of us as the national brand (has a color in its name) did less than 24 hrs before due to “lack of capacity”

Loved it - We took this tour because it sounded so interesting. Captain Damien and Sierra were our guides. We got a history of the area and information about the work that is being done to improve it on the way. When we got to the area of the dolphin it took a few minutes but then they started to show up. They we so cute. Several of them were appearing and disappearing around the boat. It was hard to get any pictures because they were there and gone before you could react. It was recommended to film and then pull some pictures off. We got a few. It was so fun.

A few hours of dolphin sighting in Savannah GA - It was a great 2 hours, great captain and tour guide and the dolphins showed up and put on a show for us. It was definitely worth the cost and such and enjoyable vacation event along with perfect weather.

Awesome experience! - The 2 hour eco tour today was awesome! The captain and first mate were very knowledgeable, pleasant and interacted with us the entire time. We got to see several dolphins and learned so much about the waterways. If we visit Savannah again in the future we will I’ll definitely go on this tour again. Awesome captain and first mate!

Bad Bad Bad - A women got hurt when climbing the boat . The captain should have called 911 and send her to a hospital to get stiches and Tetanus shot . We waited for 45 min to get him bandage the wound and clean the blood of the boat to continue . No Dolphins and all the trip sucked.
