My girlfriend and I are in Savannah for my surprise birthday trip (meaning I did not know we were…read morecoming here) and Savannah Coastal Ecotours has been, without a doubt, the highlight of the trip. My GF is wonderful at planning, so I knew nothing of this trip. The night before she said, 'babe, we are going kayaking in a swamp.' Well, ok, I guess? It was amazing. Let me start by saying that Kathryn and Fran are amazing hosts. Kind, funny, knowledgable, friendly and easy-going. Kathryn even made a mini-brownie cake for my birthday and served us while on the water during a snack break. We had some great conversations and a lot of laughs. As for the tour, it was fascinating and peaceful. We spent nearly three hours on the water, observing plenty of flora and fauna of the area. Additionally, since the water level was high, we were able to go through the forest, Kathryn's version of off-roading, and really got a lovely view of the water. Kathryn and Fran are experts at kayaking, so we always felt safe and they taught us a number of good techniques. I cannot recommend Savannah Coastal Ecotours enough. We had an absolute blast and next time we are in town we are going to do it again. Thank you so much for everything!

My friends and I had an amazing tour of Ebenezer Creek with Kathryn. We booked the tour several…read moremonths in advance as we were only in Savannah for 4 days. Kathryn and I corresponded via email all the details and answered all of my questions (and boy was I annoying with the questions)! We agreed on a date and location, as well as pick up at our accomodation. The week of our trip, Savannah was forecasted to have thunderstorms all week. Kathryn reached out to us and asked if we are flexible to changing the date as we originally booked Sunday, but the forecast for Saturday was more favorable. We decided to not chance it and confirmed for Saturday. Come Saturday it was a beautiful morning. Kathryn picked us up at 7:30am on the dot. She also planned ahead and had nearly everything we needed for the day, including hats and water shoes. She even had snacks and water packed for us. She literally thought of every detail!!! We were so impressed. She also was super friendly to speak with and very laid back and easy going. She even gave us a few great local restaurant recommendations in which we are very grateful for. We had a really amazing time leisurely kayaking in Ebenezer Creek (and even saw an alligator)! I highly recommend this tour and will definitely book another tour with Kathryn when I return to Savannah!!!

Being it is a holiday we get there early and have breakfast within walking distance so we can get parking. Must have been our lucky day as we got the best parking space in the lot. We were instructed to arrive 45 minutes before the tour. Since we were there and checked in early as was the other group of six we left actually a few minutes early. The weather was perfect and we had on plenty of sunscreen. JD led the boats to different spots on the island so that we were able to see Dolphins. I was surprised that in the middle of the day that we were able to see so many. JD was kind and took pictures and sent them to everyone through What's App. What a great way to spend the day as well learn the island. The entire length of the trip was 2 1/2 hours. Definitely a must do on anyone visiting the Island. Just be warned you will get wet so plan accordingly. You are given a small cooler with ice and bottle waters

It was yawn burger with a side of snores as my kids say. And that in consideration of the price deserves an honest review here. It was about $300 for two hours of a slow boat ride around the marshals where the only thing pointed out to us was an old beautiful hotel that the mob used to that used to smuggle liquor up and down the coast (which we initiated the conversation on, asking about it). The rest of the tour our kids wrestled and joked with each other on the front of the boat and we just enjoy the view of the beautiful houses. We've done many boat tours in different locations and normally there's some sort of discussion about the history or sightseeing the local birds/animals or the ecosystem of the area... None of this occurred. And that would be fine too, except we were told "there's a 90% chance you'll see dolphins" when we made the phone call to schedule, and one of our children was pretty excited about that. We had a good time because we're positive happy group of people but they need to turn the dial way up on this experience for families.

We paid $150/hour, and booked a two hour pontoon tour for Friday at 1pm. It was fantastic ! We had 2 captains on our pontoon boat tour, one of whom was Captain Mike, (I'm so sorry, I'm blanking on the other name!) They were both super pleasant and knowledgeable - also good humored as we blasted music over their speakers and danced around on the boat. When we weren't jamming out to TLC or Brittney they spoke to us about natural marshes, the landscape, dolphins, and geography of the area. They even let our Bride to be drive the boat for a little bit! We were allowed to bring anything with us on the boat, they encouraged it! We packed lunches and brought booze/waters as well - a definite must-do because it made the experience so much more enjoyable! The pontoon was covered, which I must admit being slightly disappointed to see - was hoping for lots of sun exposure, but it was still so much fun! Would definitely recommend bringing along a sweatshirt or jacket, it gets really windy on the water! There is a bathroom on the boat, but I thankfully didn't need to use it - there are clean bathrooms back at the marina.

Of course the yacht itself is incredible but the crew made it even more special. They spent a lot of time with me in advance to plan the perfect night.

The stewardess, Carrie, was attentive, kind, fun, and always made sure we had more than enough. I give Top Shelf 10/10 and look forward to chartering it again in the future.
