Dolphins, Pelicans and cargo ships, oh my! - What an amazing way to end our day and our trip to Savannah. Our guides were super and explained all about the ecosystem of the Savannah River while we looked for dolphins. What a treat to see them up close to the boat (both sides offered a terrific view) and on our way back to the dock we saw more dolphins jumping out of the water to meet us plus we saw two loaded cargo ships up close and personal!! I would rate this as one of the best adventures in Savannah!

Unforgettable Dolphin Tour - Connor and Sierra made this trip unforgettable. They were highly informative and did an excellent job of involving the tour group, prompting many interesting questions. They found the dolphin pods so professionally, and for us, watching them was simply amazing, and memorable!
The tour group was small, about 20 people, which allowed for easy movement around the boat and a more intimate experience. I highly recommend this tour!
