Savannahs hidden side - The dolphins were about and peeking out of the water almost as soon as we got underway. They weren’t being terribly sociable so we left them alone and moved on to find some more. All told I think we saw about ten split into different small groups. No spectacular displays but I was amazed that we got to see any as sightings of wild animals can’t be guaranteed.
In addition to dolphins we got to see a huge variety of birds including bald eagles, Osprey, roseate spoonbills and cranes. There may also have been an alligator sighting though we decided it was probably a log.
Connor and Siarra kept us informed and entertained throughout and there’s lots to see along the river if you enjoy seeing huge ships close up and bar and inaccessible landscapes.

Exploring Savannah river and its wildlife - Lots of wildlife (dolphins, eagles, ospreys, spoonbills, cranes and a heron); good spirited crew; fair prices for drinks; stories of Savannah past, present and future; plus a turn of speed and a bit of spray on the way back.
A great way to get a totally different look at Savannah.

Great views of dolphins! - Loved seeing the dolphins! Johnny Windows was great about spotting them and positioning the boat for great views. Wish we had seen more birds, the tour description mentioned birds.

2 hour trip with kids aged 7 &4 - Very friendly tour guide. Kids enjoyed “driving” the boat. Would have been more satisfied if more information was provided regarding the surrounding areas we saw. Only had one dolphin spotting which is disappointing but not the captains fault. A little more to entertain the kids in the down spots would also be helpful. Overall satisfied.

There are no dolphins on the dolphin tour - I was bored because I couldn't see any dolphins.
They have to tell you when you can see dolphins.
