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!!!

My husband and I did a private fossil hunting tour with Captain Malcolm and Jamie (aka the Tooth…read moreFairy), and it exceed all expectations more than I can describe. They were SO knowledgeable about the area and such fun to chat with on a beautiful March day. We went to two different beaches, and Jamie helped us find probably 40 shark teeth of all sizes. It was amazing - I truly cannot believe we found so many. On the second beach, Malcolm showed us the coolest fossils I never would've even noticed, like a camel tooth from thousands of years ago and bottles left over from the prohibition era. It was an absolute blast and a must-do with family, friends, or partners. I am six months pregnant and had a totally fine time, so this would be an amazing trip with kids too. Thank you, Malcolm and Jamie for the unforgettable day! We'll be seeing y'all again!

We absolutely loved our tour! We did a private tour to Little Tybee Island. We found so many shells…read moreand a couple sand dollars. The kids swam in the ocean and played in big waves. We loved seeing Hopper the dolphin, also. Our guide, Kyle, was so knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining how the area has changed and the importance of the marshes. We all had such a wonderful time on the boat and with Kyle. The kids loves it when he'd turn on the "air conditioning" by going faster. We will definitely be going with them again!

But Captain Steve was on it and made sure to phone us in the morning as we devised a potential plan/time in the afternoon to touch base before we called it. We tracked the weather through the day, and once the afternoon rolled around, he said as long as it was good at departure time, we could go out and described the plans he had depending on what weather we might have. Thankfully, the day turned itself around and it was gorgeous by sailing time. We were able to bring our own drinks and snacks, so we got those onboard and we were off. I mentioned that I'd really love to see dolphins, if he knew where they might be. Either Captain Steve or his son Zach, who came along to help, made sure to point out any dolphins that were seen. We even got close to a couple which was a really neat experience. We had the option to sit back inside the boat or up top, and could move around as we pleased. We had such a fun and relaxing time during our sail. Captain Steve is super experienced and was very comfortable answering all the questions we had. His boat is well maintained and has a bathroom on board (bonus when you're on a 4 hour sail with drinks!) Highly recommend anyone looking for a unique experience to contact Captain Steve.

I don't know about the other guide that was not touring, but Dirk was top notch, excellent. It was just my wife and I so we got some great personal interaction. I love old structures and their construction history. I love history and I love architecture. Dirk touts his tours as architectural. It's not his only focus. He is very much a historian of the area and pieces together the important events that shaped the history of Savannah. Dirk also gave us some very worthy recommendations for historical home tours which we heeded and were not disappointed. Thanks Dirk. We had a great time and are still talking about your tour.

Savannah is a beautiful city worth visiting.

The tour begins with safety instructions. Then, Ryan takes you to many very interesting places in the area and is quite knowledgeable about the sea life and the land around. He gave us exciting History and facts. Ryan pointed out dolphins and told us cool facts. He knew the birds we saw too. We even saw a shark. Ryan gave us an hour on Vanishing Island. That was a great place to be. Just knowing that high tide would put the island completely underwater was a little weird. Ryan is an expert captain. He has years of experience. I recommend that when in Hilton Head, you take a ride on his boat.
