The captain, Connor, was knowledgeable about the local wildlife and history of the area. He drove the boat safely and kept us on schedule. 1st mate, Siarra, provided good commentary. I appreciated the fact that they made an extra effort and took extra time to make sure we did see some dolphins.

Our adult sons were visiting us and we thought getting out on the river would be fun. We decided to do the Dolphin Spotting & Wildlife Eco Cruise which we conveniently joined right on the dock along River Street. Our guide was very knowledgable. We saw several dolphins and sights along the river including ships coming into the port. The pontoon boat was comfortable and shady from the summer heat. After comparing with other water outtings the cost is reasonable. The cruise was very enjoyable! We recommend this activity to locals and tourists.

We had a wonderful time on the 2-hour Ecotour. The bench seating included wide aisles for easy maneuvering, and an awning that kept the sun off us. Despite the heat and humidity in Savannah, it felt comfortable, with a good breeze on board. We saw dolphins, learned many fascinating facts about them (dolphins have midwives!) and other denizens of the river, as well as discovering just how dynamic the port is. Friendly, knowledgeable, articulate captain who clearly loves all things maritime and a very helpful first mate. Would we do it again? In a heartbeat.
