Port tour must see - Captain Conner and deckhand Lauren were extremely hospitable, entertaining and knowledgeable about the river and the ports. The tour of the river was very up close to the ships and the knowledge shared in how the ports worked and showing us the actual working of the shore support was outstanding. There was so much good detailed information shared that it kept everyone’s interest up to the end. Time passed way too fast. I strongly recommend this tour. It is a must experience if you’re coming to Savannah!!!!

Incredibly engaging field trip - I took 19 of my students aged 9-12 since we were studying industrialization and how important a port was to the economy here. Several parents went along too. We had the opportunity to see the tugs pull a ship off the berth and to see them turn the ship completely around to dock. This was my second field trip and it is still just as amazing. Our captain was awesome and really engaged the kids and the adults.

Savannah Port Tour was very worthwhile! - Our family really enjoyed the tour of the Savannah port. Our Captain & First Mate were very knowledgeable and humorousl. The covered, pontoon style boat traveled directly past the big vessels and cranes so we could see the action. It was interesting to see the views of Savannah from the river plus seeing dolphin. Our group had a teenager, parent and grandparents and all of us had a great experience.
