We did not go on a river cruise, but I still enjoyed standing on the ledge and having an unobstructed scenic view of the river. The sight of the Talmadge Memorial Bridge from afar was breathtaking to see. City Hall Landing serves as the ferry terminal where one can catch a free ride on The Savannah Belles Ferry across the Savannah River, connecting downtown's riverwalk with Hutchinson Island. The Savannah Belles Ferry has daily service. It doesn't run on major holidays. During our time at City Hall Landing, we also got a good look at Georgia Queen, this grand riverboat, docked nearby. The next time I go back to Savannah, I hope to go on a river cruise aboard The Savannah Belles Ferry or the Georgia Queen.

Savannah Riverboat Lunch Cruise: Great Experience, But Skip the Included Lunch…read more My husband and I took the Savannah Riverboat Cruise with the lunch option, and overall, it was a memorable outing we'd happily repeat--with one change. The service was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. The boat itself is beautiful, with lovely views of the Savannah River and historic sites. The captain's narration was a highlight. He provided fascinating facts, interesting historical tidbits, and maritime knowledge about the area the entire time--only pausing briefly for questions, which he answered thoroughly. My husband was particularly impressed by his expertise on the local maritime history. A fun moment came when we passed Old Fort Jackson--they fired a cannon at us! It was thrilling to hear the boom and imagine what it must have felt like in the past. Unfortunately, the included lunch was the one disappointment. The food was lackluster and completely lacking in flavor--it tasted bland and unseasoned, almost like institutional or nursing home fare. Everything was just overall "blah." We'd definitely do the riverboat tour again. Next time, though, we'd skip the lunch package and either grab something from the grill on the top deck or eat before or after the cruise. Highly recommend the experience for the boat, views, and narration--just plan your own meal!

Overrated. Upon…read morearrival, the ticket-taker did not greet us. He simply said, "Tickets." No, "Welcome aboard!", no "Glad you're cruising with us." and no "We're happy to see you. Where are you traveling from?" Nothing. No welcome or warm greeting. The next person wanted us to take a picture. For money, no doubt. No way. We're already not wanted, why would you want a picture? I've already decided I'm not spending any more money after being greeted in that fashion. No drinks, no snacks, and no souvenirs. The narrator was knowledgeable, had a few jokes, and was tipped appropriately. The paddlers do not run. Two stars for a knowledgeable narrator and clean restrooms. Otherwise, this riverboat cruise is a big pass.

We took both bus routes and the full loops are really quick, like 30 minutes tops. We took the bus rides just to get an inexpensive sight seeing tour of Savannah.

Just watch your stuff and puff out your chest like your on the CTA redline, you'll be just fine. Bottom line, it's a quick way to get around and the bus stops are clearly marked.

They allowed our 90lb dog which was very kind in the close quarters of a speedboat! There is a whole procedure of parking away from the terminal (since it is so crowded nearby) and boarding at the terminal dock. They were mostly on time and had a helpful friendly attitude. My child fell asleep on the ride so it was smooth and calming enough! My only negative was we'd have appreciated more departure options and flexibility to change times if needed (provided there is room). We had trouble finding a lot of info on things to do with kids on Daufuskie (we learned there is not a lot for them; it is more for Boomers to drink) so we would've valued being able to return sooner, but it is what it is. Just the only drawback we had with service options. But we definitely recommend to others.

Not a lot of people make it to Ossabaw Island. For one there is no regular ferry service nor is there a road that runs to the island. This is on purpose. Sandy Torrey West, whose family has owned the island since the 1920's, sold the island to the state in 70's as a Heritage Preserve with the understanding that Ossabaw would "be used for natural, scientific and cultural study, research and education, and environmentally sound preservation, conservation and management of the Island's ecosystem". That means that unless you go there for one of the few deer / hog hunts the state puts on or you go there for an event you probably aren't getting there. If you have a boat you can park it off the beach and come up on the beach, but it's illegal to go past the high tide line of the island. I believe the island sees less than 2000 people a year on it. It shows too. I got to check the island out for myself after going on a service trip with the Georgia Conservancy. We arrived on Friday by a special ferry, worked on cleaning up the large spanish style Torrey West mansion and the clubhouse/grounds Saturday, and left Sunday. During this time we took full advantage of the clubhouse that was built in the 1880's and recently revamped. We also hung out with the feral donkeys that are on the island, as well as took an hour long ride through the forest and marsh to check out the beach. We saw armadillos, wild hogs, alligators, and lots of shore birds. It's amazing how wild and unspoiled the island is. No trash, no noise, no people. Just wilderness. The ride through the interior of the island made me think of Jurassic Park. Just huge old live oaks with spanish moss hanging down and lots of palmettos scattered about. Interesting tidbit is the road that we went down is possibly oldest continously-used dirt road in the country. Mrs. Torrey West has moved off the island at age 103 and the Ossabaw Island Foundation will soon be in the process of slowly renovating her house as they already have for the clubhouse and bunkhouse. There are also some slave cabins that are slowly being restored as well. Long before Mrs. Torrey West and family lived here there were 4 plantations on the island. If interested in seeing and staying on the island yourself look on the Ossabaw Island Foundation website, they manage the cultural and education aspects of the island, and check out the calendar. There are often writing or artist workshops which is what Sandy Torrey West wanted for her island. The Island is ridiculously beautiful and I am so thankful to Sandy Torrey West and other wealthy land owners like her on the Georgia coast who thought that the best thing for their islands would be conservation for future generations. I have been to Cumberland which I always thought was untouched, but Ossabaw beats Cumberland out by a mile. The unspoiled nature of the island is something that can only being experienced by being there. *Google Eleanor Torrey West for more info on how this island came to be. The story behind her life and love of the island is quite interesting.

Our…read moredriver, Jared, was absolutely wonderful--he has such a great personality and was incredibly engaging throughout the ride. We chose to do the full loop first so we could hear Jared's complete narration before hopping off to explore. It was the perfect decision! He shared fascinating details about Savannah's rich history, along with some lesser-known fun facts that really brought the city to life. The tour sparked our excitement to visit spots we might have overlooked otherwise. The hop-on hop-off format worked brilliantly for us. Buses arrived quickly at each stop--we rarely waited long--and the stops are conveniently located near all the main tourist attractions. It got a bit crowded toward the end of the day (around 5 p.m.), and we occasionally had to wait for the next bus, but overall, it was seamless and stress-free. One small suggestion: I wish the tours ran a little later than 5 p.m. It would be ideal for avoiding parking hassles and enjoying dinner downtown--there are so many delicious restaurants to try! We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an easy, informative, and enjoyable way to see Savannah. Thanks to Jared for making it memorable!
