Brilliant Dolphin Experience!!!❤️
We had the best time with Captain Dan! He was very knowledgeable about not only the dolphins but also the whole area that we boated in. We had a brilliant time and Captain Dan made sure of that. We would highly recommend this tour and if you end up with Captain Dan, you will be as lucky as we were. The best time!!! ❤️

Dolphins
This is a nice boat ride down the river. Along the way we saw a bald eagle and pelicans as Captain Boo told us stories of the sites. We saw 2 pods of dolphins which was amazing. Captain Boo was prepared with hair ties, extra sun glasses as well as blankets and jackets. Fun time!
Operator response
Captain Boo has been with our company from the very beginning and loves connecting our guests with the ecosystem! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time on our Savannah Dolphin Eco Tour!

Really enjoyed seeing Savannah from the river perspective
Captain Kelly provided a fantastic 2 hour trip on the Savannah River. We spotted many dolphins, cormorants and pelicans. We learned some of the history of Savannah as well as gained an understanding of today's use of the river and waterfront. This was a small boat experience led by an excellent boat captain/tour guide. We highly recommend it!
Operator response
