Loved it - It was a beautiful peaceful cruise. We spotted a few dolphins along the way. Amazing history with Savannah and the crew shared a lot of stories about them.

Great day on the water - Captain Connor and Serena were wonderful guides. The boat ride alone was beautiful and I learned some interesting facts about the area. Hint: waving girl and we did see dolphins!

Worth the experience - Such beautiful scenery down the river that I had forgotten that we had not seen dolphins for the first 3/4 of the trip. However, due to the tenacity of Captain Bertie and First Mate Sierra, we were treated with numerous sightings as we made our way back upriver. Great fun all around.

Definitely recommend if you like a chill tour cruising on the water. - Our Captain Birdie was fun and played great music. It’s was like we were on vacation in the middle of the lake with a twist Dolphin watching. We saw so many up close, Birdie was very knowledgeable on all the wildlife and the surrounding areas. We had a great time, and would definitely do it again.

We loved this cruise! - This dolphin eco-tour by Savanah Harbor Cruises was awesome! The boat was spotless and comfortable. The crew was very welcoming and made us feel appreciated as customers. The Captain and First Mate are very knowledgeable and encourage questions from the passengers. The cruise is fully narrated, making it even more enjoyable. I hope we can enjoy this cruise again on a future visit to Savannah.
