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.

Best Dolphin Tour! - This was such a fun experience. Our guide (a guy whose name I can't remember, but he said he used to work as the pirate at the Pirate House) and Sierra were awesome! They were funny and informative. We saw a ton of dolphins and they were very close to the boat. The eco part of the tour was fun too. The sunset was amazing. Definitely recommend!

Dolphins - This was a great excursion, saw lots of dolphins , pelican and egret. The pair that ran it were very interactive and friendly. Had a very large group with a lot of kids and they made sure they sat together.

Beautiful Experience! Thank you Connor & Sienna - We had a sunset cruise that included some fun facts about Savannah's water ways. We got to see many Dolphins and perhaps a pod of them. Great night and a very fun time.

Missed the tour, wrong address - The address given on the website is inaccurate, we made to the shopping place which is what google map indicated and missed the tour. Terrible instruction.

Nope - Spend your money elsewhere. It’s not worth spending on this boat ride, which is way too long for what you get from it. The guy literally stood there and talked about his personal opinions and failed to talk about anything that a tourist might be interested in when they come to Savannah The first thing he told us when we got on the boat is that we probably won’t see dolphins as if it was funny to him. We saw a few fins sticking out the water. That’s about it and the sunset is just as beautiful from standing on River Street. You do not have to get on this boat to see a dolphin fin or the sunset. If you get on this boat, you’ll just sit there for 2 1/2 hours and listen to a bunch of smarta** comments.
