The tour guides/captain were both great! We did this in January after New Year’s and would recommend it! There wasn’t as much sun or greenery. But there was PLENTY of wildlife to watch! We saw about four-five dolphins including a mom and her baby! Yes they’re still very active even during winter. We also saw many wetland birds including: egrets, pelicans, a bald eagle, turkey vultures, great blue heron, and more. Like I said plenty to see even in winter! Offers a different kind of coastal lens to witness marshes and river ways during the colder months. A fair warning though, make sure you’re paying attention to the weather the day of your tour. Bring layers, a winder breaker, hat and gloves. If it’s cold out it will feel ten times colder with the wind chill from the speed of the boat. Just be prepared and you’ll enjoy it as much as we did!

Birdie was so knowledgeable about the area and was easy to understand. The dolphin sightings were crazy! Some came literally right up to the boat! Money well spent!

So worth it! Very friendly, very informative. I traveled with a 2 and 7 year old and they both loved seeing the dolphins! Both captains were amazing and my 7 year old kept saying she loved Birdy's voice! We would definitely take another tour when we come back!

Great, we did see wild dolphins. The ship captain and his assistant was great. We get to see the local ecosystem, and there was even some historical artifacts and ancient shark tooth as part of show-and-tell

Really great trip in Savannah. Terrific captain and first mate who were friendly and provided good information. Easy, calm boat ride. Saw dolphins and some other wildlife. Very relaxing family trip. Enjoyable and worthwhile.
