Captain Krista and Skylar... - Captain Krista and Skylar were awesome! We had a great time on the river and marsh. They shared so much information about the animals and commerce in Savannah, seeing a side of the city that you can’t see on land. And we saw lots of dolphins and birds. It was a great tour.

Dolphins! - Tanner and Conner were excellent guides. The weather was beautiful, and the ride out to the dolphin spotting area was very enjoyable. We were surrounded by dolphins playing and feeding—it was truly an incredible experience.

Great time - It was so fun I want to go again. The scenery is beautiful and the dolphins were beautiful and fun to see. The captain and his assistant were kind, fun, knew so much about what we were seeing.

Spring break Friday slot - 5/5 great trip! It was a medium size turn out which was lovely not too busy or much commotion as we seen dolphins. I think we got extremely lucky because we seen dolphins several times. They tour guides can move the mic back from their mouth a little…it’s a little loud but they were nice. I can’t upload photos for some reason but I caught five dolphins and a pelican diving for food!

Fun little boat trip, plus dolphins - We took this trip to see dolphins, but it was a nice sightseeing tour of the river and other wildlife as well. Lauren and Xena shared good information with the guests on the way to the marshes where they go to see dolphins.

Great Dolphin Cruise - Thai was our favorite excursion of our week in Savannah! We saw wonderful birds and dolphins . The captain maneuved the boat to get a close view of the many dolphin’s who were feeding and playing around the Boat. Both the captain and the first mate were very interesting and knowledgeable and funny and they made the trip fun. They even had a prehistoric Shark tooth that was found in the silt mounds of the river. This is a trip you should not miss while staying in Savannah!
