Very fun adventure, well worth the money! Actually it is a great value. Tour guides were awesome. We did the sunset tour, and cannot recommend it more! We seen a lot of sea birds on our trip, and a couple dolphin. One named "chip" hung out with us for a while giving ample opportunity for photos and amazement. Coming back to dock to a sunset was beautiful! Plus you got to wave at all the people that didnt book a Sunset cruise. Don't be thoes people!

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!
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.
It was really a beautiful experience to watch the dolphins in the wild. The captain of the boat Connor and the crew member Skyler was awesome 👌.
It was an awesome experience. We enjoyed it 100%.Seeing the dolphins playing and learning alot about our history on sites that were still there from the civil war and other beautiful sites.The captain and 1st mate were very knowledgeable. Enjoyed this opportunity with them.You will not be disappointed.
My family was in the Savannah area for a family reunion and wanted to do something different and exciting. We decided on a two hour river Cruise.
Amazing, exciting, eventful and full of history facts and wonderful sights! We saw dolphins 🙂🐬🐬🐬
Connor and Savvy were our tour guides. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. Connor added a lot of humor to the tour. We did find the dolphins and other wild birds. They also explained what was going on around us with the working boats and the marshes. They brought out fossils that have been found nearby as well.
Great way to spend a couple hours on the water.
Conner and Skylar were great on the boat and very informative about the ecosystem.
We had an amazing time on our dolphin tour! The captain and crew were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so much fun. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins up close, and it was such an unforgettable experience. The boat was clean, the ride was relaxing, and the crew made sure everyone had a great view and learned interesting facts about the dolphins and the local area. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure. Thank you for making our day so special!
Thank you Connor and Skylar!
Nice mellow sail we were warned we may see some dolphins and may not. But the captain and first mate told us a lot about the area birds plants trees marsh area. We did see dolphins. We also were told how the river was made s
Deeper to allow bigger ships thru and we were shown fossils
Highly recommend! I did this experience two weeks in a row with friends visiting from out of town. The crew is funny and very knowledgeable and we saw dolphins both nights. I learned a lot about the river and the industry along it. AND…the sunsets were breathtaking both nights. Book this tour! You won’t regret it!
We enjoyed this tour with my family the team are really friendly and educated..
The sunset was amazing and we had the chance to see the dolphins
We had so much fun watching the dolphins playing. It was a wonderful experience to end our vacation.
So fun and educational! We loved our guides, they were funny but also really knew their The sunset views were stunning, and we got yo see lots of dolphins. stuff. I would go again, and would definitely recommend to others.
Saw dolphins and a nice sunset. Very informative about the area and wildlife. Capt. Krista and crew were wonderful.
This was an amazing experience. I took my daughter for her 17th birthday celebration and it was nothing short of Amazing. We learned some interesting information about the waters of the port canal, the ecosystem, and much more from the captain and vessel mates. The music was some great classics from arid Stewart and Toto. We loved every second of it. The Sun on the water, the beautiful sky during sunset despite the clouds, and so much more. We are definitely going to recommend and set sail again with more family.
Very relaxing and brought me tranquility just looking out at the dolphins and other wildlife and watching the sunset definitely recommend for anyone that appreciates nature and a relaxing boat ride while your tour guide educates you about the dolphins and other fun facts.
My 15 year old daughter and I had a great time. No sunset because of clouds, but we saw alot of dolphins and some other wildlife. Connor and Tanner we great. Knowledgeable funny and great energy.
There are many different things to see along the river. We did see dolphins but the clouds covered the sunset. Skylar and Conner did a great job informing us of everything along the way.
Our captain and mate were excellent guides! Full of cheer and joy, while at the same time focused on safe navigation. Luckily, we were treated to an exuberant show of dolphins within the first 15 minutes of our trip! What a way to cap off a warm Savannah day. If they could have ordered a more colorful sunset, things would have been more than perfect.
Wonderful experience. Saw lots of dolphin's. Beautiful sunset!! Great narrators. We even got to see container ships which was a bonus. Would definitely recommend!!
Connor was very knowledgeable about local wildlife & ecosystems. He was also quite personable and fun.
Fantastic tour. Super educational and we saw tons of dolphins AND 2 bald eagles, as well as some other wildlife. The tour guides are great. Ended with an epic sunset. Dolphins and sunsets are never guaranteed, but you could tell that the tour guides really wanted to deliver on those two things. 😆 As someone who plans events for groups I also understand that pressure, and our trip ended with a memorable evening thanks to this tour!
Unfortunately, our tour did not see any dolphins, though I knew that was a possibility. The captain and mate were very nice but wish they were more informative about the area and talked more as we spent over 30 minutes just floating around the dock we were disembarking from. Since we knew there were no dolphins around that part of the river, I would have rather left the boat as the seats were not that comfortable.
Despite gray clouds and the threat of rain we took off on a relaxing and informative voyage down the Savannah River. Complete with dolphins!! Both the captain and her assistant had both educational and informative material to impart about the port, the salt marshes, and the history of this city. The trip was capped off with a lovely sunset over the city.
It is an amazing cruise.
We saw a lot of dolphins!
The crew members were not only very knowledgeable but entertaining as well.
Our captain Connor and his first mate did a very good job of finding things for us to see. I wasn't expecting a big alligator! The dolphins put on quite a show for us. Even though the weather brought some challenges (rain at times), the crew pivoted and provided a great experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see some marine wildlife and a good view of River street.
