5Perfect even with the storm that started
Lauren and (Raven) lol and Tanner knew their stuff. I love dolphins so I was excited we saw some.
4rainy day boat tour
This tour was fine. It was really rainy and got cut short. But Lauren is a total badass and her boat dog is adorable. I will say, however, that how early you get there to get the boarding voucher does not matter—it’s when you line up to board, whether or not you got a voucher beforehand. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this, and I wound up on the inner row of benches, and most of what I could see was the back of other people’s heads. It didn’t help that many of the tourists were larger folks (no shade—I myself am not a tiny person) who also spread out their belongings on the benches as well. More people could have had good seats if other customers were a bit more polite and smushed together to share the space. I was so glad there were no kids on my tour. I can imagine it would have been quite challenging had there been.
5Highly recommend
We had such a great experience! We had only seen one dolphin up until the last 30 minutes of the trip where we got lucky and found a pod. However, our entire group discussed how even if we only as the one dolphin, the boat ride and experience itself was still well worth the money! Would highly recommend & we will be coming back next time we visit Savannah.
5The sunset dolphin cruise...
The sunset dolphin cruise was very nice. I highly recommend it. The staff were very informative and nice.
5So relaxing and...
So relaxing and interesting. Beautiful sunset, sighting of a baby dolphin and a close up of a Bald Eagle!
5Amazing! Book now!
Jason and Sam were wonderful guides. The water was choppy so they made the safe decision to modify the tour. We still got to see some dolphins while also getting close up views of the giant shipping vessels. Highly recommend.

About Savannah
Savannah is a Georgia coastal city of oak-shaded squares, Spanish moss, cobbled riverfront streets and beautifully kept Southern architecture.
Savannah was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe as the first city of the colony of Georgia, and he laid it out on a grid built around small public squares. Twenty-two of the squares survive, shaded by live oaks draped in Spanish moss and filled with fountains and monuments. Forsyth Park, with its white fountain, is the largest green space in the historic district, and the Cathedral of St John the Baptist rises with twin spires.
