You will see verdant maritime forests, opulent antebellum waterfront homes, victorian river resorts and turn-of-the-century fish-camps.

On this private boat tour, you will be joined by a USCG licensed captain and a City of Savannah tour guide who will describe the rich history and topography of the area. Wildlife is abundant and we will be looking along the way for Bald Eagles, Osprey, and Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin.
