Great Experience - Captain Crista and Josh were great, following the dolphins as they fed. I got a video of an alligator and learned about the Savannah River's ecosystem.

Well Worth It - We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the dolphin cruise. Captain Connor and Tanner were friendly, knowledgeable and shared many things that make Savannah so special. We had a dolphin actually swimming next to us riding the wave of our boat! We also saw a mother dolphin and her calf. We saw various wildlife and had a great time on a hot, summer day.
