Sunset with dolphins - Captain Johnny and mate led our small group in search of dolphins. Found them and were treated to lots of stories about life on the water, biology of dolphins and otherwise, while we took pictures. Good people and a nice sunset adventure with dolphins.

FUN TIME ON THE SAVANAH RIVER - Conner and Sierra were terrific and so knowledgeable about the river and about all of the sights. We saw lots of dolphins jumping out of the water. Conner knew exactly where to find them and gave us lots of information about them. We saw other animals also which Conner and Sierrs Iidentified. Conner played music and we had some singalong. All in all, we had a very enjoyable evening and I would highly recommend this river cruise to anyone visiting Savanah.
