Very nice ride on the... - Very nice ride on the boat. The captain and his first mate were both very good at sharing the story of the structures around the river and got to see a pod of dolphins as well.

Fantastic tour! - We had a fantastic time on our sunset dolphin tour with captain Birdie and Jenna. Since we had the entire tour to ourselves we had exceptional and personalized service. Everything was great from the cleanliness of the restroom to the music selection. But the interaction with Birdie and Jenna was exceptional. Our 4 year old was allowed to drive the boat and blow the horn which she absolutely loved and took to Jenna, as she made sure she was having a good time. The information learned on the tour was fantastic as well and we saw dolphins and bird wildlife. Cannot recommend enough!

Dolphin party boat! - Captain Bertie love what she does and it shows. My niece and had such a great time. Between sharing her knowledge of the river and salt marshes and spotting dolphins, Bertie curates a playlist that keeps the while boat singing. What a great way to end a great day in Savannah.

This is a MUST do when traveling to Savannah - . I have been here many times but first time taking a boat tour and it far exceeded my expectations. Our Captain Birdie was just the best. The first mate, Sierra(not sure of spelling) was so knowledgeable, friendly and just a joy. We saw quite a few dolphins, but the crew, the scenery and the group on the boat were just so fun.

Such a memorable experience!! - Wow! What a memorable experience! We were skeptical if we’d really see any dolphins but we saw so many even up close to the boat. The cruise was informative, fun, and relaxing! We highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful ride - We enjoyed getting out on the water. Excellent narration with history of the port. It was a little rough the day we chose and we still had a great time lots of pelicans and other birds. Though no dolphin sightings our captain went all over looking so I think we even saw more of the port. As we came in the sun was setting over the city so pretty!
