Unforgettable Dolphin Tour - Connor and Sierra made this trip unforgettable. They were highly informative and did an excellent job of involving the tour group, prompting many interesting questions. They found the dolphin pods so professionally, and for us, watching them was simply amazing, and memorable!
The tour group was small, about 20 people, which allowed for easy movement around the boat and a more intimate experience. I highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely amazing! Perfect, relaxing, and informative. - The views were amazing, the dolphin sighting was super cool, and the information obtained taught me things I had no idea about the ports and products coming into and out of Savannah. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely recommend this to our friends and family that visit the area. Thank you Conner and Sierra for the amazing trip!

We did the dolphin tour... - We did the dolphin tour with the hopes of seeing one or two dolphins. We actually got to see quite a few dolphins, including a couple of moms and their babies. It was a nice and relaxing tour with only a few historical/informational stops.

Not worth going on - We saw no dolphins, which can happen. The pilot spoke minimally at the beginning and end, and did nothing to teach the several little ones on board about why we were going where we were going and why we might not see anything.
His young assistant was personable and friendly but, again, could have provided info.
Also, filthy bathroom and ridiculously overpriced snacks.
The only plus was it was a beautiful breezy day.
