Awesome experience - a little history, some dolphins, and a lot of relaxing and family fun! - Wow! What a fantastic end to our Savannah adventure! Captain Birdie and Jeff were awesome! They gave info on the history, the river, the dolphins - of which we saw many - and the areas along the river. We returned to port as the sun kissed the bridge! It was interactive - perfect for families! There was some narration and some just listening to music and relaxing! Definitely would do it again and again - especially with these guys!!
