We had such a great experience! We had only seen one dolphin up until the last 30 minutes of the trip where we got lucky and found a pod. However, our entire group discussed how even if we only as the one dolphin, the boat ride and experience itself was still well worth the money! Would highly recommend & we will be coming back next time we visit Savannah.
The sunset dolphin cruise was very nice. I highly recommend it. The staff were very informative and nice.
So relaxing and interesting. Beautiful sunset, sighting of a baby dolphin and a close up of a Bald Eagle!
Jason and Sam were wonderful guides. The water was choppy so they made the safe decision to modify the tour. We still got to see some dolphins while also getting close up views of the giant shipping vessels. Highly recommend.
Wonderful trip. Lots of dolphins and overall great experience.
Booked for my wife’s birthday and she loved it. We saw a lot of dolphins, learned much about the Savannah River and its ecosystem. The captain and his mate were informative and funny. I recommend this dolphin cruise.
Fun and relaxing boat trip. The Captain and his mate (sweet young Lady) were very informative and knowledgeable about their talk as we rode to and from. The dolphins were spectacular and came up pretty close to the boat; we even got to see an alligator in the water! Highly recommend this experience for all ages!
Lot of fun, laid back and worth the money. Just to give you the full picture, it’s basically a big flat boat with benches on each side. Plenty of room, and the crew (Connor and Tanner) was a lot of fun. We saw dolphins right away and had a good time.
Great experience we were lucky enough within 15 minutes to get to see a bunch of dolphins. We had Conner and Tanner and they were great.
We saw many many dolphins:) The guides knew a lot about them It was delightful to learn about the marshes and river as well.
