Traveler reviews
Tour of Port.
Wonderful outdoor activity. Lots of history revealed. We saw wildlife dolphins and got real close to huge cargo ships. Our captain was personable and experienced and made us all feel comfortable and safe.
Educational and Fun
We really enjoyed this tour. You get so close to the ships! The Captain was fun and interesting. He knows alot about the port and ships. We learned some history of Savannah as we rode down the riverfront area. Not much sun protection so bring sunscreen! Cold water provided which was nice to have. I can highly recommend if you have interest in ships or shipping.
Outstanding River Tour
Interesting and informative Savannah Port Tour. The two women driving the boat and providing the narrative were outstanding. They had lots of fun facts regarding the container ships we saw, as well as the docked yachts. They covered the history of the port and the businesses currently operating and businesses that had been closed down. We would definitely recommend this river tour.
Skyllar & Capt Krista are great!
The best learning experience I had in Savannah. They took the time to allow us to see how this port of Savannah operated. Questions were answered & encouraged. Explained different aspects of a port. Ride was comfortable. There was some ladies running late. Someone in their party told the staff .The staff waited on them. That was something you dont always see. Very courteous. Thank you for an excellent trip.
Captain Peter - great guide
Tour : interesting! Something we Never see as a midwesterner! And Captain Peter was the best Savannah History guide we had! What got me were all the last second signings and i didnt even know what i was even signing! Nothing when i bought my tickets alerted me to having to sign release documents or I'd had done it prior to departure!
