    October 10th Tour

    It was an amazing experience! We got to see plenty of dolphins and other wildlife like bald eagles and birds. Our guides did a fantastic job of informing us about dolphins and the ecosystem around them. It was a once and a lifetime experience.

    Relaxing Wildlife Cruise

    This tour exceed our expectations. The guides were informative while still being entertaining (so many good puns for the dolphins). The boat was simple but clean and comfortable — most importantly everyone had a good view. Best of all we saw tons of wildlife - two pods of dolphins cormorants, herons and bald eagles…oh and cannot forget the tiniest fiddler crab. Good job Tanner fishing him off the floating grass. Would highly recommend this tour for a relaxing ride down the Savannah River to enjoy learning about its essential ecosystem that seems to coexist with the industry along the river.

    Worth the time and money

    Oh my goodness, captain John was great! So knowledgeable. A wealth of information was shared. He knew right where to find the dolphins and took us there. We saw more that 30 of them. It was a great time. I’d do it again without hesitation!

    2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.

    How much does 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.

    Is 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 326 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour?

    +

    Around 114 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Savannah?

    +

    Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Savannah?

    +

    March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Savannah?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour?

    +

    Included: Sightings of dolphins, birds, and other marine life; Alcoholic beverages; Sights of containerships headed to the Port of Savannah; Drinks "non alcoholic" and snacks available for purchase; and Trip is fully narrated by the Captain and First Mate. Not included: Gratuities; and Parking which is limited on River Street. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour?

    +

    The Dolphin Eco Tour takes place on the River Street Landing dock just in front of the restaurant Spanky's on River Street. The vessel you will be going on is called the River Explorer. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2 Hours Dolphin Eco Tour if the weather is bad?
