Prices and availability checked

Savannah's coastal areas are known for having the largest lighthouse in Georgia, as well as the state's smallest lighthouse. Cockspur Island is home to the Cockspur Island Lighthouse and Fort Pulaski, one of Savannah's historic battlements. Since the mid-1700s, newly arrived African American communities established dwellings in these coastal areas, and in 1827, Cockspur Island was chosen as the site for the new battlement. As Savannah's growing port required more fortifications, ground was broken near the mouth of the river to add a more substantial defense. Since that day, Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island have been a resolute part of Savannah's and the nation's history. Come immerse yourself in this experience! We will take you on a journey through maritime, military, and Savannah history, leaving you with plenty of time to wander and explore the fort and surrounding area after the tour is over. You will not be disappointed.

    How far in advance should I book Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island Historic Tour from Savannah?

    +

    Around 0 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 Tybee Island 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?

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 Tybee Island?

    +

    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 Tybee Island?

    +

    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.
