Savannah Boat Tours & Water Activities
A single starting point for the river, harbor, marsh, dolphin, sunset, dining, and Tybee options in the current catalog.
By Savannah Visitor GuideUpdated September 2026
Departure area is the first filter. A downtown riverboat, a Back River wildlife trip and a Tybee or Little Tybee departure can show similar durations while requiring different transfers, parking and weather checks.
Choose the water trip by purpose and dock
| Format | Primary purpose | Confirm before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown riverboat | River and port narration, sunset or a meal | 9 E. River St. operator check-in, cruise length, food and vessel access |
| Dolphin or marsh trip | Wildlife habitat and tidal waterways | Exact marina, wildlife-sighting language, shade and weather policy |
| Little Tybee outing | Boat access to an undeveloped island | Landing conditions, facilities, tide, what to bring and return plan |
| Sunset or private boat | Timing, small group or custom route | Per-person versus group price, minimum charge and captain policy |
| Kayak or paddle | Active travel close to marsh and water | Experience requirement, tide plan, equipment, transfer and changing conditions |
Use the operator for the actual tide plan and cancellation decision. NOAA publishes station predictions, and the National Weather Service publishes current coastal conditions, but neither source states that a particular tour will run. “Dolphin tour” also does not guarantee a sighting unless the operator publishes a specific policy.
Check whether the displayed price is per person or per group, whether transport from Savannah is included and where the trip finishes. Catalog data was fetched September 1, 2026; checkout controls final terms.
