Cruise was good and enjoyable

5.00Took this boat cruise of about 1–1.5 hours. It rained heavily before the ride, but cleared up just in time for departure, and then started pouring again right after we got back. Timing worked out well, so the cruise itself wasn’t affected. The boat has two seating options: an open top deck, which was nice and breezy, and a lower deck that’s enclosed with AC. Overpriced snacks and drinks are available onboard. The narration was engaging and funny. We were lucky enough to spot a few dolphins, though that’s not guaranteed.
Terriblly disappointing

5.00Prepare for a terrific ride!Sunscreen, sunglasses,and headwear are a must!(If weather is sunny/hot)..My wife and I enjoyed the historic lessons by Matt the Narrator - funny, informative, and engaging.The crew were friendly and open to questions,with all the onboard food vendors quick to help serve customers.There is a photo opportunity,so think about your clothing and hairstyle,I truthfully watched a lady apply full makeup and hairstyle herself right before boarding/photo time.Very funny.

3.00Interesting riverboat cruise. Fun being on the water and learning about Savannah’s history. The narration was entertaining. The second half of the cruise was a bit boring. Not much to see on Hutchinson Island. We would choose an historical walking tour next time.
Nothing to see on the river
NADDIA P,Apr 3, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00the tour was ok but there is nothing to see in the river, therefore super boring. It also say 90 minutes but we left 10 minutes late and arrived 10 minutes early so in reality only 70 minutes but we did not mind as there is nothing to see on the river. The highlight was the cannon shooting at us from the fort.. they also take a photo of you as you board and they try to sell it for $38; really? I would not recommend this tour.

4.00This excursion had a lunch add-on which we did not do. One and a half hours was a good amount of time. Wish there was plantations to see along the river, only industry.
