Relaxing Wildlife Cruise
This tour exceed our expectations. The guides were informative while still being entertaining (so many good puns for the dolphins). The boat was simple but clean and comfortable — most importantly everyone had a good view.
Best of all we saw tons of wildlife - two pods of dolphins cormorants, herons and bald eagles…oh and cannot forget the tiniest fiddler crab. Good job Tanner fishing him off the floating grass.
Would highly recommend this tour for a relaxing ride down the Savannah River to enjoy learning about its essential ecosystem that seems to coexist with the industry along the river.

Worth the time and money
Oh my goodness, captain John was great! So knowledgeable. A wealth of information was shared. He knew right where to find the dolphins and took us there. We saw more that 30 of them. It was a great time. I’d do it again without hesitation!

Dolphins in Savannah
While it is not guaranteed you'll see dolphins, we definitely did and the staff will do everything they can to make sure you do.
We liked the tour so much we booked the evening one too! The boat was a smooth ride, and the tour guides were both knowledgeable and funny. Highly recommend.
